✨ Natalie Imbruglia enters a bold new era.
After the global success of Torn and sharing the stage with Olivia Rodrigo, Natalie returns with her powerful new album Algorithm — a deeply personal celebration of freedom, empowerment and self-love. 💫
The album closes with the stunning Beautiful Love, a shimmering, dancefloor-ready anthem about embracing your flaws, overcoming adversity and finding strength within yourself. ❤️‍🔥 Written with Fraser T Smith and Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody, it’s a fitting finale to an album full of emotion and energy.
With previous singles Upside Down, Algorithm and Just Drive making a strong impact — helping the album reach #2 on the UK iTunes Pre-Order Chart — Natalie is clearly in complete creative control. 🚀
From the sleek synth-pop of Debbie and disco-pop energy of Catastrophe, to the emotional Who Dimmed The Lights and the thought-provoking Endgame, Algorithm feels fresh, fearless and unmistakably Natalie. 🎶✨
A new chapter. A new freedom. The same artist we fell in love with. ❤️

Natalie Imbruglia has turned the spotlight on Beautiful Love, the closing song from her new album Algorithm, with a video made entirely on an iPhone and created with a small team of friends. The clip was filmed and edited by Amy Lee, with Imbruglia handling the concept, direction, styling, make-up and performance, offering an intentionally personal visual counterpart to an album that was independently financed and co-produced by Imbruglia.
The Beautiful Love video also contains a piece of Imbruglia’s personal history. The Mercedes featured in the clip is the first car she bought brand new, in 1998, around the period when her debut album Left Of The Middle established her as an international recording artist. More than 25 years later, she says she remains too attached to the car to part with it.
The low-fi production approach contrasts with the considerable collaborative history behind Algorithm. Imbruglia independently financed the recording and co-wrote every song, working with collaborators who could also contribute to production. Among them are MyRiot, Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, Ash Soan, Fraser T. Smith, Tobie Tripp, Mark Crew, David Sneddon, Anu Pillai, Dan Priddy and Louis Rogove.
The album continues Imbruglia’s recording career beyond the era defined by Torn and Left Of The Middle, while maintaining her connection to contemporary pop production. Her decision to finance Algorithm herself also allowed her greater control over the recording process, with Imbruglia describing the sessions as the most enjoyable she has experienced while making a record.

Imbruglia will continue the Algorithm cycle with international live appearances, including festival performances and shows in Europe and Mexico. She is also scheduled to join Bryan Adams for his Australian and New Zealand arena tour in February and March 2027, including a Melbourne performance at Rod Laver Arena.

🕊️ R.I.P. Dolly Parton 💔 Part 2
Very sad to read the news.
During my recent DJ gigs in Europe, I played this remix, which is one of my all-time favourite songs (including the French version performed by Johnny Hallyday). 🎶🇫🇷
Dolly was also one of the very few artists that Ben and I both loved and had in common. ❤️
I have some wonderful memories associated with her music, and it was a real privilege to see her live when she performed her final Sydney show of the Blue Smoke World Tour on 19 February 2014 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre (Qantas Credit Union Arena).
A truly special artist, with an incredible voice, personality and legacy.
Thank you for the music, Dolly. You will be deeply missed. 🕊️🎶💔

R I P Dolly Parton
A Remarkable Life of Music, Film and Giving
Dolly Parton was far more than a hugely gifted singer and songwriter. She was an extraordinary entertainer, accomplished actress, successful businesswoman and, perhaps most importantly, a deeply generous philanthropist whose influence reached far beyond the world of music.
As the songwriter behind some of the most enduring songs of all time — including I Will Always Love You, Jolene and 9 to 5 — Dolly created music that became part of the soundtrack of generations. Yet her talents extended well beyond the recording studio.
Her acting career was also remarkably successful. In 1980, she starred alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5, the hugely popular comedy about three working women taking on their sexist boss. Dolly wrote the film's iconic theme song, 9 to 5, which went on to receive an Academy Award nomination and earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
She later starred opposite Burt Reynolds in The Best Little Wh******se in Texas, playing the strong, independent and passionate Miss Mona Stangley, the proprietress of the Chicken Ranch.
In 1989, Dolly appeared in the much-loved Steel Magnolias, alongside an extraordinary ensemble cast including Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts. The film, centred on friendship, love and loss among a group of women in Louisiana, became a lasting classic.

But perhaps Dolly's greatest legacy lies in what she gave back.
Through her philanthropic work, she invested millions in causes close to her heart, including children's literacy, education, medical research and vaccine development. Her Imagination Library has helped put millions of books into the hands of children, inspiring generations to discover the joy of reading.
Dolly always understood the importance of being true to yourself. With her characteristic wit and humility, she once famously said:
“I’m never going to be a Meryl Streep. But then, she’ll never be a Dolly Parton either. Be true to you!”
That perfectly captured the spirit of Dolly Parton — unique, fearless, talented, generous and completely herself.
Whatever the stage, the screen or the cause, Dolly Parton left an extraordinary mark on the world. Her songs will continue to be sung, her films remembered, and the lives she touched through her generosity will continue to tell her story.

A truly remarkable woman. A one-of-a-kind talent. And a legacy that will live on. ❤️🎶🌹

🪩✨ 50 years to the day...
ABBA released "Dancing Queen" on the 16th August 1976, and what a gift they gave the world. 🌍💙 and what a gift they gave the world. 🌍💙 It became their signature song, topped the charts in 16 countries, gave them their only US No.1, and 50 years later it's still filling dancefloors and bringing smiles to faces of every generation. 👑🎶
🎧 From a DJ's perspective, I've always believed Dancing Queen is one of the finest vocal performances ever committed to tape. Because it's such a familiar song, it's easy to take it for granted but when you really listen, it's an absolute masterpiece.
The vocal range is enormous, the harmonies are beautifully layered, and the production is full of little moments of pure genius. One of my favourite examples comes in the second chorus on the line, "Feel the beat from the tambourine... oh yeah!" That soaring "oh yeah" jumps up an octave with such perfectly controlled vibrato that, for years, I genuinely thought it was a lead guitar harmonic. It wasn't until I heard the isolated stems that I realised it was the vocals. Simply breathtaking. 🎤✨
Agnetha and Frida make some incredibly demanding vocal lines sound effortless. The verses sit surprisingly low for their voices, yet they deliver them with warmth and control before lifting into one of the most uplifting choruses ever written. Every harmony, every phrase and every vocal layer has a purpose it's like listening to another instrument in the arrangement.
🎼 Musically, it's just as impressive. Benny Andersson's piano and keyboard work, Björn Ulvaeus' songwriting, and that glorious production create a record that still sounds fresh half a century later.
As DJs, we see firsthand what music does to people, and very few songs have the universal magic of Dancing Queen. It doesn't matter whether you're between 7 and death 😂, those opening piano notes hit, and the dancefloor instantly comes alive. 💃🕺
For me, this isn't just one of ABBA's greatest songs, it's one of the greatest pop records ever made. Fifty years on, it remains a masterclass in songwriting, arranging, production and, above all, one of the greatest vocal performances in popular music.

🌍 Global success: Reached #1 in 16 countries, including 🇸🇪 Sweden (14 weeks), 🇬🇧 UK, 🇺🇸 USA (ABBA's only Billboard Hot 100 #1), 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇨🇦 Canada, and more.
🎤 Legacy: Marked the start of ABBA's classic era, inspired many artists, and has been covered by acts like U2.
🏳️‍🌈 Cultural impact: Widely embraced as a beloved LGBTQ+ anthem.
📈 Sales & records:
💿 Over 3 million copies sold.
🎵 Continues to chart and remains one of Sweden's most-streamed classics.

Happy 50th, Dancing Queen. Here's to the next 50 years. 🥂👑🪩🎶
