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 Sunday (October 8). “Hullo hullo hullo,” she writes. “Well…so…my album finally comes out on October 14, which is less than a week away. There are 3 tracks from the album up on my myspace page now, but we’ll be adding 60 second samples of every single album track to www.chatterboxrecords.com during this week. There’ll be 2 added per day, and the 1st 2 songs on the album- ‘Looking For A Rabbit’ & ‘Surly’ are up on Chatterbox’s site right now. Hot diggity damn. Go check ‘em out! Hope you like them. Laura”

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 Monday (July 17). She writes, “The album is mastered! Yay! There’s just a few things to fix, like the order of the tracks, and a few more artwork things, and then it’s ready to be pressed! It’s looking like it’ll be out in October. FINALLY!” Read more.

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.”
