Laura Imbruglia checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (November 13) a few weeks after the release of her self-titled debut album. “So… people seem to like the album… it’s getting ok reviews, which is nice, because I don’t take kindly to criticism,” she writes. “So… to one negative girl who said in her review: ‘It’s cute. But it will likely be a little bit too cute for many. Even fans of The Grates might find it a touch irksome’ - I will say - Ouch. That hurts me on more than 1 level. Mean. Nasty. You are a poo head. Is it ‘cute’ to call someone a ‘poo head’? IS IT?! Take it!” Read more.

Jake Stone of Australia’s Beat magazine writes: “Twenty-three-year-old singer/songwriter Laura Imbruglia is an interesting contradiction. On record, she’s a wordy student of pop with a contrasting melancholic, comedic edge. In person, she’s stubborn and wary, but it’s understandable; she’s probably sick of the media constantly comparing her to her sister, Natalie. The irony is that Laura is the more talented and interesting of the two.”

Laura Imbruglia checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (September 15). “Hey kids, I’ve just added 3 new songs to my page! Yay,” she writes. “They’re off my album that comes out on Oct 14! I hope you like them. JJJ has been playing ‘Tear Ducts’ every now and then but perhaps you should call and email them all day, every day and see if you can make them play it some more. Only if you feel like doing that. I dunno. You’ll also notice I’ve re-designed my page and got rid of the ‘purty faces’ background. Sorry to anyone who is disappointed that their ugly mug no longer graces my page, but the ugly faces were starting to lose their charm. It was time to move on. ALRIGHT?! Lemme know what you think of these new tunes, unless you’re going to give me criticism. I don’t even like the constructive kind, so back right off, buddy. Love always, Laura”

Listen to ‘Looking For A Rabbit’, ‘Tear Ducts’, and ‘My Opus’ here.

Laura Imbruglia checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on May 10th, while she was touring with Josh Pyke & Bob Evans. “I’m tired. I’m hungover,” she writes. “Did I sign some dude’s chest last night and draw arrows pointing to his nipples and then write ‘Nipples!’ excitedly? I think I did. New rule- Laura doesn’t sign skin. It’s un-ladylike. And Lord knows I am VERY ladylike normally. So, in other news- my album is being mixed now, and it’s nearly complete. Master it on Monday. Very exciting. Just checking in.”
