How did Natalie Imbruglia create her new album Algorithm?
I would get asked often, do you think you got to this position because of the way that you look? I'm quite good at being the underdog. I find it much scarier to be at the top, waiting to fall off a pedestal.
What challenges did Natalie face during perimenopause?
It's a real weird one for me watching Neighbours. I don't know, I have such mixed feelings because I was so young. It doesn't matter who it is, never give your power over to another human being. Never think somebody knows you better than you know yourself.
This episode of How to Fail is brought to you by Dove Whole Body Deodorant.
How does social media impact mental health, according to Natalie?
Hello and welcome to How to Fail with me, Elizabeth Day. This is the podcast where we look beneath the bonnet of success and we see the engine of failure and how it motivates us to do ever greater things.

The killers came for Fabio in his own backyard.
You can't rationalize it. You can't figure it out.
There was rampant speculation about everything. But every wild theory was wrong.
How did Natalie navigate the IVF process as a single mother?
Because the truth was even more unbelievable. Is anyone hearing what I'm hearing? And even more heartbreaking. The uncertainty of not knowing is a form of agony. From Sony Music Entertainment and Novel, this is Cut, Color, Kill.

In 1998, I took a photograph of Natalie Imbruglia to her hairdresser and told him I wanted to cut just like hers. It was perhaps a mark of her cultural impact that I know I was one of many thousands of young women doing exactly the same thing. A year previously, Imbruglia had released one of the seminal singles of the decade, Torn. It sold more than four million physical copies worldwide.
How has sexism influenced Natalie's career in the music industry?
In her homeland of Australia, it became the most played song on the radio, being played an average of 75 times a day over the two decades following its release. Imbruglia had started out as an actor, quitting school in a small New South Wales beach town at the age of 16 to pursue her dreams. She landed a part as builder's labourer Beth Brennan in Neighbours in 1985 and stayed on the hugely popular soap for two years before moving to London. Here she signed her first record deal. Her debut album, Left of the Middle, went multi-platinum. Five further albums followed, but it wasn't always easy. In 2009, she took a six-year break from music to concentrate on acting, appearing on stage and in film, and also as a judge on the Australian X Factor.
Since then, she has released further music, become a mother to a son, Max, and won the Masked Singer. Now she returns with her seventh studio album, Algorithm, which, Imbruglia says, was by far the most fun I've ever had making a record. And yet, she admits, it also happened to coincide with the most challenging time I've had with my mental health. This is the beauty of music and artistic expression. You can take something dark and turn it into light. Natalie Imbruglia, Forever Hair Inspo. Welcome to How to Fail. Thank you so much for having me. It's such a pleasure to have you. And that... quote about art enabling you to take something dark and alchemise it into something light is exactly what this podcast is about.
Taking life's biggest challenges and trying to find the gold in them. Can you tell us a little bit about recording this album and why it was important for you to exercise this?
