Kelly show in New York (yessss) is as good a time as any to do so.

Australia’s inadvertent alt-pop poster girl Natalie Imbruglia’s comeback single “Want,” which I’ve praised in this space before but which now has a narcissism-of-the-Webcam-era-probing video:

"Want," the first single from the album, is a dreamy, sheeny dancepop tune that's pretty irresistible, even though it owes an obvious debt to her fellow Aussie Kylie Minogue. (Although it's apparently a co-write with none other than Coldplay frontman Chris Martin?! Oh man, could you imagine if this is a hint at Coldplay releases to come?) A radio rip of the track is after the jump.
