One of the good things that I get from my stay in Melbourne 2 years ago (wow, has it really been that long? hmm) is that I get to hear and know a lot more Australian singers/music. And I just love 'em! For example, in my opinion, Australian Idol is definitely comparable to American Idol, and at times it's even better!
I was suddenly reminded of this when last week I think to myself "Hmm, since my boss (who is based in Sydney) will be coming over for a few days next month, maybe I should ask her to get me some CDs that are not available here". So before I did that, I searched the internet for the titles of the CDs. So I went on to search if I can get them myself without bothering my boss. And I managed to get A LOT. Here's the list of the albums :
1. Darren Hayes - This Delicate Thing We've Made
Well, he's one of my favorite singers of all time.... ever since Savage Garden came out back in 1997 (I remember I first heard of them during my first trip to the US). Now his music genre has changed greatly, but still..... me likey :)
2. Missy Higgins - On A Clear Night
I've mentioned her before in my last post in my "Music Review" page (I've never update that page anymore, and I don't intend to.... just write everything here). Her voice and music style is just so unique. Two thumbs up!
3. Damien Leith - The Winner's Journey
He's the winner of Australian Idol 4, and definitely one of the best. This album contains mostly his performances during Idol, and they are GOOOOOD. His voice is just like recording quality even when performing live. I haven't manage to get his 2nd album, though... so I may still need to get it via my boss.
Another notable rising Australian band is Sneaky Sound System. I heard them during the Live Earth concert last July. But so far I only like some of their songs..... the rest are just not my cup of tea.
