Firebird is the forthcoming sixth studio album by Australian-British singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia, scheduled to be released on 24 September 2021. It is the first album to feature original material since 2009's Come to Life and Imbruglia's first release with the record label BMG Rights Management.[1]
The album was produced in various locations during lockdowns imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and features songs co-written by Albert Hammond Jr., Romeo Stodart, KT Tunstall, Eg White, Fiona Bevan, and Rachel Furner, among others.[2]
Upon announcement Imbruglia said "Making this album has been such a profound and satisfying experience. Having gone through a long period of what essentially was writer's block, it was sometimes hard to envisage getting to this place."[3]
The album's lead single "Build It Better" was released with an accompanying music video on 18 June 2021.[4]
