On a Clear Night [CD]

In times of pop stars who become famous for being infamous while lip syncing to canned drone like synthetic music tracks, Missy Higgins is truly a beacon of light and hope for a new musical era. Although insanely popular in her native Australia, she is just beginning to grace America with her incredibly melodic voice and extraordinary song writing abilities. "On a Clear Night" is a sophomoric album that exceeds any sophomoric results. Her tracks are guitar based with strong, upbeat melodies. Her voice is that of a Siren, pure, sexy, soulful, pulling you in and leaving you mesmerized. Her songs reflect a young woman that is confident and comfortable in her own skin. "Where I Stand" is an addictive song that reflects the conflict of growing and moving on and wanting to stay in that old, comfortable place. "Steer" is a beautiful homage to being true to yourself. It draws you in from the first line and you are hooked. "On a Clear Night" is not an album that you simply buy for those two or three great songs. This is a CD that you will put on and listen in its entirety over and over again.

I absolutely love this new artist! First heard "Where I Stood" on Greys Anatomy and was touched by the song, so I bought the CD for this. Not only do I love this particular song but I like them all! She has a great sound to her voice and what makes it more appealing to me is that the lyrics are written by her. I also appreciate the piano playing and acoustics.

Her voice is sultry. It's sexy. It warms my soul and makes me want to listen. I find myself humming along now and just relaxing. I hadn't heard of Missy Higgins until about a week ago. Now, she is all that I play while driving or just relaxing. Her "On A Clear Night" is an amazing tribute to her voice. The CD was recorded in Los Angeles with famed producer Mitchell Froom, who has worked with such legendary artists as Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow and Crowded House. Neil Finn of "Crowded House" plays guitar on "Peachy" and provdes backup vocals on Ms. Higgins song, "Going North". "Peachy" is upbeat and will have you movin'. I love the sarcastic lyrics. Her voice is strong and I find myself belting out the "of course you don'ts" right along with Ms. Higgins. "Warm Whispers" is soft and nearly haunting. The sound of this song is calm and feels as if you are being told a grand secret and seems to capture time in a bottle. Missy Higgins has a unique voice that I have yet to grow tired of. "Where I Stood". Is my favorite song on the album. I can relate to its lyrics. Her voice is sexy, strong and sultry. This is a must have album!

this is her best cd yet. if you like relaxing music this is fory ou!

Awesome talent in this girl! You won't regret this purchase!
