Dave Stewart is teaming up with Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia to cowrite and coproduce her next album. Stewart, who recently released his sixth solo effort, "Sly-Fi," says he met Imbruglia by chance six or seven months ago in a London restaurant. "She sat down at the table next to me and we started talking, and she ended up coming to my flat and staying until about two in the morning." The two got it on -- creatively, that is. "We started singing and playing the acoustic guitar, and we sort of hit it off. We arranged to work on a song together, and that turned into five songs, and that turned into going on holiday together, which in turn became a long-lasting ¿professionalÁ relationship."
Stewart says the pair will continue to collaborate with an eye toward entering the studio next spring, when he also plans to begin directing his first feature-length film, "Honest," which he describes as "a romantic black comedy in the 'Harold and Maude' tradition." The fecund singer-songwriter is currently writing and producing tunes with another comely young songstress, Sinéad O'Connor, whom he reports "gets on quite well with Natalie." Hmmm. Maybe he should have called his new album "Chick Magnet."
