Format:Audio CD
I came across Sarah's music when travelling in Australia; I can't understand why she isn't bigger over in the UK.
This has been one of my favourite albums for some time; Sarah Blasko is very talented, and her music has depth and feeling, her voice is stunning, and her style is individual and intelligent (her music videos are pretty good, too).
The first track will plunge you straight into a dark, hypnotic track of great beauty, "For you", which takes a while to build, but effectively communicates the feelings that deep and/or obsessive love can evoke. There follow more tracks which run the gamut of emotion, giving plenty of variety. My favourites are "Hammer" and "Planet New Year".
I find the album to be quite textured and layered in subtle ways, although some people may think it too understated.

Stunning, Original and Very Listenable
28 April 2007
Format:Audio CD
My first experience of Sarah Blasko was live, at the Melbourne "Make Poverty History" concert in Melbourne, November 2006. Bono and Pearl Jam opened the show, and then Sarah (if I may call her that) wandered onto the stage.
She did 5 or 6 songs, and I couldn't wait to get to a store and buy this album. I love it, and I think most people will.
Her style is original, though she reminds me at times of Nico, and perhaps even Dido...with a touch of Bjork maybe. But still, original!
As impressive as her singing is her songwriting - strong, relevant stories set to evocative and superbly arranged music.
She really is quite a talent, and it's early days yet. Buying this album (her second) gets in you in close to the Ground Floor of her musical career, and I think it will be an interesting ride.
At this stage she seems more comfortable as a boutique artist - small venues, intimate shows. I wonder where she will take herself and her music in the longer term.
But enough of that.....for now, we have a wonderful album, produced to perfection and beautifully presented.
This is an album for a wide variety of musical tastes, and I recommend it especially for people who want something different, who are looking for someone who is emerging, and who are hoping for someone who has something strong to say.
And after all, she has already had Bono and Pearl Jam as her opening act - quite an achievement.

Definitely got $9.49 of listening out of this

This album is both energising and relaxing, and repays listening to over and over and over. This review is not designed to be a profound technical analysis of the music or anything. Given my listening experience with this album though I was just really surprised that the average review was languishing down at 3 1/2 stars and I wanted to record my vote that I thought it was much better value than that.
