Missy Higgins - On a Clear Night

...keeping the noise from breaking through...

The brilliance of Missy Higgins was introduced to me by my big sis, and I salute her.  Missy's voice is hot.  This Aussie sings quite a bit in the lower register, a trend that seems to becoming more popular with female artists.  She has complete command of her voice.  That kind of talent is especially impressive in her song, "Steer," in which she rivals the ability of John Mayer to flip flawlessly from chest to head voice and back again.  

On a Clear Night is the first album I've heard by Missy and I enjoyed each song.  Some are stronger than others, but I am extremely impressed by Missy and plan on looking into her past albums.  She has released three albums and a handful of singles.  Her latest single, "Where I Stood," is all over the radio.  You can listen to the complete album, On a Clear Night, on her website, www.missyhiggins.com.  I've also posted my two favorites from the album at the top of my playlist to the right.  You should really start getting friendly with my playlist.

I Need Direction to Perfection

In my mind's eye, I can see my faithful blog followers anxiously checking my blog daily. Each day, their hearts fall as they realize that no, their dreams have not come true this day. For causing such agony, I apologize. I need direction when it comes to writing anything. I find it much easier to write when I have a specific topic. So, to satisfy the nearly thousands of pleas for more consistent blog posts, I'm going to tell you (more frequently) what I think about everything.

To start, I've decided to focus on music. I'll be reviewing some new albums, and maybe some old favorites. I want to hear what my dedicated fans think. I want you to suggest albums to listen to and review. I want to know who you like and don't like. Comment all you want and give me new ideas! For now, stay tuned for my first reviews. I'm thinking Missy Higgins and Keane would be a good place to start.
