Natalie Imbruglia's "The Singles 1997-2007" Hit The Shelf Sept 22nd
She is beautiful, talented and happily married to one of Australia's hottest guys; in short, for Natalie Imbruglia, life is glorious.
On her way from London to shoot a feature film in Adelaide, she may even join husband, Silverchair lead singer Daniel Johns, on his national tour.
After 10 years in the music business and a string of hits, Imbruglia, 32, has proved she's more than just a passing fad as she prepares to release her best-of album, Glorious: The Singles 1997-2007.
"It was the record company's idea about doing the singles collection,'' Imbruglia says.
"And I thought: 'Oh, here we go' but I always take so long to record a new album and so I thought, good idea in the end, because it breaks it up a bit.
"I came around to the idea and was thrilled that I was able to put a few of my new songs on there as a bit of a teaser.''

The former Neighbours star has almost completed her fourth studio album and it won't be long until we also see that on our shelves.
"It's written but I want to get it right. I do already have a full album to put out, so it will follow straight after (Glorious),'' Imbruglia says.
Marriage to Johns has brought not only new happiness but more privacy and a welcome end to media speculation.
"I think the best thing about it was when I got married it stopped all the rumours about who I was with and this, that and the other,'' she says.

"Half of the rumours weren't even true and the other half were people that I'd kind of rather forget. So I think I've probably got even more privacy since getting married.''
The couple married on New Year's Eve 2003 and Johns has since helped Imbruglia with the writing and recording process for her fourth studio album.
"I don't think that he (Johns) has affected the way I perform,'' Imbruglia says.
"I think I've been lucky enough to have him come in on songwriting sessions. I mean, who wouldn't be? He's so good at it.
"I wouldn't want him to write every song on the album - that would be silly - but I feel very, very blessed that he would want to do it.''
Silverchair has just embarked on a national Across The Great Divide tour with Powderfinger.
"I'd imagine that I'll come out for a bit but I'll be doing my own promo stuff at that time too," she said.

"We've got a one-month rule going where every month we have to see each other for at least a week, so I'll definitely be there at some stage,'' she said.
Imbruglia will soon perform in Elise, a feature film to be shot in Adelaide based on Georgia Blain's novel Closed For Winter.
It will be her second movie role, after starring with Rowan Atkinson in Johnny English.
"I'd love to do more acting in the future,'' she says. "I don't know where I'll find the time to, but I'd love to.''
Imbrulia's Glorious is out on September 22.
