Alexander 23

October 05, 2022 20:00 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MB

Alexander 23’s path to this point has been anything but a straight line. He was studying mechanical engineering at university before he quit to pursue music full time with the band The Heydaze, which signed a deal with Island Records. When they split he decided to focus on songwriting and producing, but when he found that unfulfilling he returned to playing music and building his solo career. It’s all worked out well – not only is his solo career flying off the back of songs likes "IDK Y...

Ken Casey (Dropkick Murphys)

September 28, 2022 21:00 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MB

Dropkick Murphys' 11th studio album is called This Machine Still Kills Fascists. The record features a collection of Woody Guthrie’s unpublished lyrics set to music. The seeds of the project were sown some years ago when the band befriended Woody’s daughter, Nora. Her son was a fan of the Dropkick Murphys and saw in the band a group of kindred spirits who embodied Woody’s everyman working class ethic. We talk about that whole journey in this interview, as well as going deep into Ken’s ...

Bartees Strange

September 21, 2022 21:00 - 49 minutes - 68.6 MB

There aren't many artists touring the world right now who can say they were once part of the Obama administration. Bartees Strange can, thanks to his time as the Deputy Press Secretary for the Federal Communications Commission. He also worked in the labour and climate movements, but before that he was an active member of the music scene in and around Oklahoma, where he was raised. He admits he strayed from music for a few years after he moved to DC to pursue politics, but playing and per...

Don Was

September 14, 2022 21:00 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB

My guest for this 100th episode is bona fide musical legend Don Was. Don was a founding member of Was (Not Was), and he’s a GRAMMY-winning producer who’s worked with artists such as Bob Dylan, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss and John Mayer, to name a few. He’s currently playing bass with Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir in Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, and he’s also the president of one of the world’s most famous record labels, Blue Note Records. W...

Marlon Williams

September 07, 2022 21:00 - 54 minutes - 74.2 MB

Marlon Williams' voice has been turning heads since he was a teen singing in the church choir – it was enough to convince Bradley Cooper to cast him in A Star Is Born, in which his character performed a beautiful version of Roy Orbison’s "Pretty Woman" alongside Brandi Carlile. He continues to act to this day, but it’s music for which Marlon is perhaps best known. He was raised in the small New Zealand town of Lyttelton, and cut his teeth in New Zealand before relocating to Australia, afte...

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

August 31, 2022 21:00 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MB

When Orlando Higginbottom – AKA Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – releases his new album When The Lights Go on September 9, it will be 10 years since his previous LP, Trouble. Orlando wasn’t completely quiet over that period, having toured the world and released a series of EPs and singles. But after the success of Trouble he went through something of a personal and creative crisis as he struggled to figure out how to operate in the music industry, which was one of the things that contr...

Moonchild Sanelly

August 24, 2022 21:00 - 49 minutes - 67.5 MB

In 2016, Moonchild Sanelly wrote down a list of goals she wanted to achieve in the next 10 years, and they included collaborating with Beyoncé, Diplo and Damon Albarn. She achieved those goals in half the time, singing on Gorillaz' 2020 album Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez, collaborating with Beyoncé on the song “My Power” from The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack, and singing with Diplo on DJ Raybel’s song “Whole Night”. Driven by an unshakable self belief, an image that turns he...

Alex The Astronaut

August 17, 2022 21:00 - 47 minutes - 64.9 MB

Alex Lynn – AKA Sydney singer-songwriter Alex The Astronaut – is one of those people who can seemingly do whatever she puts her mind to. She might be one of Australia’s most popular singer-songwriters, but after she left school she won a soccer scholarship to Long Island University, where she graduated with a degree in maths and physics. While she was still studying her music had started to get airplay in Australia, and luckily for us she decided to dedicate herself to that career rather t...

James Bay

August 10, 2022 21:00 - 50 minutes - 69.7 MB

British singer-songwriter James Bay recently released his third album, Leap. He finished recording it early in 2020, but – in an all too familiar scenario – the pandemic hit and put all of James’s release and touring plans on hold. The silver lining was that it gave him time to write more songs, and re-evaluate what he wanted to say with the record. We talk about that whole journey in this interview, as well as his upbringing in the UK, surviving the explosion of success that came with h...

mxmtoon

August 03, 2022 21:00 - 53 minutes - 73.7 MB

mxmtoon is the definition of a modern pop star. She grew up in Oakland making music in her bedroom and posting covers of pop songs she'd perform on her ukulele to YouTube. Eventually she started uploading original songs to SoundCloud, and by the time she left school she had more than 10,000 followers on the platform. That trajectory hasn’t really slowed since, and part of the reason for that – besides the fact she makes incredibly captivating indie pop – is the deep bond she’s formed wit...

Alfie Templeman

July 27, 2022 21:00 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MB

Alfie Templeman is the very definition of a prolific artist. He may have just released his debut album, Mellow Moon, but over the past few years he’s put out four EPs and one mini-album; he also has a side project called Aerial Days, with which he’s released two full-length albums and one EP.  All this by the age of 19. Music has been the driving force in Alfie’s life since he saw a Rush DVD at the age of seven. He started uploading his songs to the internet at 14 and quit school at 16...

Caleb Harper (Spacey Jane)

July 20, 2022 21:00 - 47 minutes - 64.8 MB

Spacey Jane have had a breakout few years. The Perth outfit's 2020 debut album Sunlight hit Number 2 on the Australian charts, and their just-released follow up Here Comes Everybody landed at Number 1. Go back to 2016 when the band formed, though, and it’s unlikely singer-guitarist Caleb Harper was thinking about this kind of success – at that point, as he was crashing out of university and unsure of what to do with his life, being in a band was simply one of the few things that kept him goi...

Ben Lee

July 13, 2022 21:00 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MB

Given that he’ll celebrate his 44th birthday in 2022, it’s crazy to think that Ben Lee has been part of the musical landscape for three decades. As a 14 year old his band Noise Addict were plucked from a Sydney garage and championed by acts like Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys, introducing Ben to a worldwide audience and setting the platform for him to launch his solo career at the age of 16 Since then Ben has forged a career that can best be described as eclectic. He’s released a childre...

Conor Maynard

July 06, 2022 21:00 - 50 minutes - 69.5 MB

Conor Maynard was one of the earliest artists to embrace the power of YouTube. While he was in his teens he started uploading covers to the platform, and his version of Ne-Yo’s "Beautiful Monster" quickly racked up more than 1 million views. Before long managers, record labels and Ne-Yo himself came calling, all looking to work with Conor. By the time he was 19 he released his 2012 debut album Contrast, which hit Number One in the UK and yielded five Top 10 singles. The road since hasn’t...

Sasha Alex Sloan

June 29, 2022 21:00 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MB

Songwriting has been a part of Sasha Alex Sloan's life for a long time. As a kid she struggled at school, but she would come home and dedicate hours to playing and writing music. Through a series of hilarious events she got a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and moved from Boston to LA at the age of 19. It took years but the songwriting credits started to mount up. At this point Sasha has written songs with artists like Camila Cabello, Charli XCX, Juice WRLD, LANY, Steve Aoki...

Chris Messina

June 22, 2022 21:00 - 52 minutes - 71.8 MB

Chris Messina is a GRAMMY-nominated producer, mixer, engineer and songwriter, and one of Bon Iver's main creative partners. They struck up a friendship when Chris was working on Bon Iver’s world tour in support of his 2011 self-titled album. After that run Mr Bon Iver himself, Justin Vernon, asked Chris to quit working on the touring circuit and move to Wisconsin to manage his studio, as well as collaborate on creating music. Chris did just that and played a key role in the making of Bon...

Chris Cheney (The Living End)

June 15, 2022 21:00 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MB

The Living End frontman Chris Cheney releases his debut solo album, The Storm Before The Calm, on June 17. Worlds away from the bombast of The Living End, the record took years to make, during which Chris’s life veered dangerously out of control, as he talks about in this interview. He also talks about discovering music and learning to play guitar as a kid, breaking big with The Living End, and loads more.

Pete Murray

June 08, 2022 21:00 - 48 minutes - 66.1 MB

Pete Murray has been a mainstay of the Australian music scene since he released his major label debut album, Feeler, in 2003. One of the interesting things about Pete’s story is that he didn’t even pick up a guitar until 22, and he was 30 when he released his first independent album, The Game. By today’s standards he is very much a late starter, having spent his youth focusing on sport, to the point where he almost represented Australia in rugby union 7s. Pete walks us through his stor...

Jaguar Jonze

June 01, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

The debut album by Jaguar Jonze – AKA Brisbane artist Deena Lynch – is called Bunny Mode. The record’s title may sound upbeat and playful, but the story behind it is heartbreaking, as it describes the behaviour Deena used as a coping mechanism when she was abused as a child. She is a survivor in the very real sense of the word, having not only made it through her childhood, but as an adult she was sexually assaulted by two music producers. She responded by bravely speaking out, and in do...

Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind)

May 25, 2022 21:00 - 45 minutes - 62.8 MB

Stephan Jenkins was cast into the spotlight when Third Eye Blind's  1997 self-titled debut album exploded around the world. On the back of hits like "Semi-Charmed Life" and "Jumper", the frontman achieved success beyond his wildest dreams – all the while learning the hard way about the compromises the music industry often demands of its artists. Fast forward to 2022 and Third Eye Blind have not only weathered the storms of those early years, but as Stephan explains in this interview, being...

Matt Sorum (GN'R, The Cult, Velvet Revolver)

May 11, 2022 21:00 - 53 minutes - 73 MB

Matt Sorum joined Guns N'Roses in time to play on their 1991 Use Your Illusion albums. At that point they were the biggest rock band in the world, and though Matt had experienced fame before with The Cult, stepping into Guns N’Roses was another level altogether. Combine the unresolved issues from his childhood with the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll that went hand in hand with being in the world’s most dangerous rock band, and you had a fiery cocktail that took Matt down a very extreme path of...

Keli Holiday (Adam Hyde)

May 04, 2022 21:00 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MB

Keli Holiday is a fictious character created by Peking Duk's Adam Hyde to channel a different side of his musical personality. While Peking Duk deal in high energy, partystarting electronic music that regularly goes platinum and tops the charts in Australia, Keli Holiday is informed more by emotional introspection and the music of Joy Division and New Order. The idea for the project came to Adam at the end of a two-month US tour with Peking Duk, and once he committed to it the music just...

Skylar Grey

April 27, 2022 21:00 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MB

The name Skylar Grey might not be instantly recognisable, but you’ll definitely know the songs she’s co-written: "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem, "Clarity" by Zedd, "I Need A Doctor" by Dr. Dre and "Last One Standing" from the Venom: Let There Be Carnage soundtrack are just some of her hits. Skylar sung the chorus hook on "Glorious" by Macklemore and "Coming Home" by Diddy; she’s a long-time collaborator with Eminem, as a performer, songwriter and producer; and she is also a solo artist i...

Tex Perkins

April 20, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Tex Perkins is one of the finest and fiercest frontmen ever to stalk a stage, and the very definition of an artist who follows his instincts wherever they take him. He first made his name in Sydney in the '80s when he formed the primal rock band The Beasts Of Bourbon, but he had his greatest commercial success with The Cruel Sea, who for a while in the early to mid-'90s were one of Australia’s biggest bands. Since then he’s released many great albums with multiple projects, the latest be...

Eric Pulido (Midlake)

April 13, 2022 21:00 - 51 minutes - 71.3 MB

Midlake recently released their fifth studio album, For the Sake of Bethel Woods. It’s their first album since 2013’s Antiphon, and the second to feature guitarist Eric Pulido on vocals after founding frontman Tim Smith left the band in 2012. Having gone on hiatus at the end of the Antiphon touring cycle, the idea of making new music was first floated in 2019. The deal was sealed when keyboardist/flautist Jesse Chandler had a dream in which he was visited by his father, who’d recently pa...

Shamir

April 06, 2022 21:00 - 50 minutes - 68.8 MB

Shamir’s new album Heterosexuality is an intensely personal record. While in the past Shamir has sung about his identity as a queer, non-binary person, he says this is the first time he’s really tackled his relationship as a queer person with the binary, heterosexual world. (I should point out that I spoke with Shamir about which pronouns he’s comfortable with me using, and he replied that he/his/him is fine.) Heterosexuality is Shamir’s eighth full-length record, but the path to this po...

Nilüfer Yanya

March 30, 2022 20:00 - 48 minutes - 66.7 MB

As the daughter of two visual artists, art has always played a central role in Nilüfer Yanya’s life. Discovered at 20 after uploading demos to SoundCloud, she quickly released a series of EPs for which she was long-listed for the BBC Sound of 2018, followed by her 2019 debut album, Miss Universe. As well as playing music, Nilüfer co-founded an organisation called Artists In Transit, which delivers art workshops to communities in times of hardship. We talk about Artists In Transit in th...

BENEE

March 23, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.8 MB

New Zealand indie-pop superstar BENEE recently released her latest EP, Lychee. It’s the follow-up to her 2020 debut album Hey u x, which exploded around the world on the back of the hit single 'Supalonely'. BENEE, though, had to watch all that unfold from Auckland due to COVID restrictions. That finally changed late in 2021 when she travelled to the US to work with songwriters and producers like Greg Kurstin and Rostam. Alongside collaborations with her longtime producer Josh Fountain, her...

Midnight Oil

March 16, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

Midnight Oil recently released their 13th studio album, Resist. It’s the Oils’ first full-length since 2002’s Capricornia, after which they disbanded and singer Peter Garrett pursued a career in politics. They reunited for 2017’s Great Circle comeback tour, which saw the band play 77 shows around the globe – although sadly, Midnight Oil gigs are soon going to be a thing of the past, with the group announcing that the tour in support of Resist will be their last.  In this interview Pete...

Foxes

March 09, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 68.2 MB

Foxes – AKA British singer-songwriter Louisa Rose Allen – recently released her third album, The Kick. It’s her first full-length in six years, and follows a period out of the spotlight during which she took stock of her career and found a new team and label. The period leading up to that hiatus had been a non-stop whirlwind of activity that kicked off when Foxes’ featured on Zedd’s gigantic 2012 hit, "Clarity". From there she released two well received albums and collaborated with artis...

March 02, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.4 MB

Danish singer-songwriter MØ has just released her new album, Motordrome. The record’s title refers to the hamster wheel MØ felt she was on for years, saying yes to everything, never taking a break, all the while dealing with the success of her solo career and her giant 2015 smash with Major Lazer, "Lean On". By the end of the touring cycle for her second album, Forever Neverland, she felt like she’d lost herself. So for the first time, MØ took time away to get back in touch with who she ...

S-X

February 23, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.8 MB

British artist Sam Gumbley – AKA S-X – first made a name for himself as a producer in his teens. He was 17 when he created an instrumental track called "Woo Riddim", which became a fixture on the UK grime scene. From there he worked with artists like Lil Wayne and Childish Gambino, even earning a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Gambino’s Because The Internet album. Just as S-X’s career seemed to be flying the work dried up, and he had to take a day job in the warehouse of his h...

Trentemøller

February 16, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.9 MB

Anders Trentemøller started playing in bands in Copenhagen in the early '90s before moving into club music a few years later. But ever since he started releasing albums as Trentemøller in 2006 he has in some ways merged those two worlds, incorporating samplers and electronic beats with full instruments and a more cinematic, dreamy sound. We talk about that evolution in this interview, as well as Anders’ new album 'Memoria', his upbringing in Denmark, the massive impact bands like The Cure ...

Eric Gales

February 09, 2022 20:00 - 54 minutes - 74.5 MB

In the years since he released his debut album as a 16-year-old guitar prodigy in 1991, Eric Gales has been to Hell and back. Prior to getting sober five-and-a-half years ago Eric spent decades in the throes of drug addiction, ending up in jail and almost dying a number of times, all the while watching the success many had predicted for him as a teenager go down the drain. But now he’s back, he’s sober, and he’s just released the album of his career in Crown, which was co-produced by Joe B...

Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage/Times Of Grace)

February 02, 2022 20:00 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MB

Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz is one of the most colourful characters in modern heavy metal. While his band's music is brutal and their lyrics drawn from emotionally dark places, when you see them live you’re just as likely to laugh as you are headbang, as Adam pulls faces while peeling off riffs, and sometimes runs from the stage to order a shot at the bar. A noted producer in his own right (Parkway Drive, Underoath), Adam also performs in Times of Grace, his side project wi...

Isabella Summers

January 26, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 68.1 MB

When Isabella "Machine" Summers met Florence Welch in the mid-2000s, they formed a deep connection that led very quickly to writing music together. One of the first songs they wrote was Florence + The Machine’s hit single “Dog Days Are Over”. At the time Isabella was busy building her skills as a producer, having grown up loving hip-hop and experimenting with turntables and samplers. She was also raised around art and film, which makes sense of her recent move into composing for films and ...

Twin Shadow

January 19, 2022 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.5 MB

In 2021 Twin Shadow – AKA George Lewis Jr – released his fifth full-length, called Twin Shadow. It brings together many of the influences he absorbed while growing up in Florida – from punk and indie to reggae and soul. But while George was raised in Florida, he was actually born in the Dominican Republic, and he returned there to start working on the record. We cover a lot of ground in this interview, from George’s upbringing to his path into music, from the birth of Twin Shadow to th...

Joe Chiccarelli

January 12, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 86.7 MB

There’s not much Joe Chiccarelli hasn’t achieved in music – as a producer, mixer and engineer he’s won 10 Grammys and Latin Grammys, and over the course of his 40+ year career has worked with artists as varied and diverse as Elton John, Oxbow, Frank Zappa, Morrissey, The Shins, The Strokes, Tori Amos and U2, to name a few. We talk about a lot of those experiences in this interview, as well as the complexities of being a producer, how Joe got into the business, and a whole lot more.  

LP

December 22, 2021 20:00 - 47 minutes - 65.2 MB

At one point in this interview, LP says they’ve had nine lives. They’re referring to the fact that since they released their debut album in 2001, they’ve had multiple major and indie label deals. After years lost in the major label system, however, in 2016 their song "Lost On You" became a big hit in Greece, and from there spread across the world to the point where it's now been streamed more than one billion times. After years of struggle and dashed hopes, and writing hits for other art...

Curtis Harding

December 15, 2021 20:00 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MB

Curtis Harding spent much of his childhood travelling with his family as his mother performed in churches and helped spread the word, immersing young Curtis in the world of gospel music.  In his mid-teens they settled in Atlanta, and within a few years Curtis was an active member of the local hip-hop community. He got his break when CeeLo Green asked him to perform on his debut album The Perfect Imperfections of CeeLo Green, and in the years since he's released three solo albums, the lat...

Lurine Cato

December 08, 2021 20:00 - 49 minutes - 67.6 MB

If you’re a fan of Adele, Kylie Minogue or Hozier, there’s a good chance you’ve heard Lurine Cato sing, even if you didn’t know it. She was one of the backing vocalists on Adele’s 2008 album 19, she performed on Hozier’s Nina Cried Power EP, and spent two years touring the world singing back-ups with Kylie. But Lurine is also an award-winning Gospel artist in her own right, often using her talents for charitable work and to raise awareness around issues such as sickle cell disease, as well...

Dan Hawkins (The Darkness)

December 01, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MB

When The Darkness released their debut album Permission To Land in 2003, the biggest hits were coming from singer-songwriters like Norah Jones and rappers like 50 Cent. The Darkness though were a throwback to the hard rock riffing of the '70s and the over the top theatrics of the '80s glam metal scene, topped off with a uniquely British sense of humour that led many to question whether they were just a joke band. Clearly they aren’t, and two decades on The Darkness are still going strong...

Jim James (My Morning Jacket)

November 24, 2021 20:00 - 50 minutes - 69.9 MB

My Morning Jacket recently released their self-titled, ninth studio album. But for a while there, frontman Jim James didn’t know if there would ever be another MMJ record. Years of relentless touring had taken their toll, and the band took an extended break  after 2015’s 'The Waterfall'. But in 2019 they reunited for four shows, and rediscovered the joy of playing together. Just before the pandemic sent the world into lockdown the five-piece got together at 64 Sound studio in LA, and start...

Joan As Police Woman

November 17, 2021 20:00 - 48 minutes - 66.4 MB

Joan As Police Woman – AKA Joan Wasser – has just released her latest studio album, The Solution Is Restless. Featuring guitarist, songwriter and producer Dave Okumu and drummer and afrobeat legend Tony Allen, it’s another chapter in Joan's incredibly colourful career. She played violin in the Boston University Symphony Orchestra before spending much of the ’90s on the road with indie rockers The Dambuilders. Joan then went on to perform with artists like Antony and The Johnsons and Rufu...

Gina Schock (The Go-Go's)

November 10, 2021 20:00 - 44 minutes - 60.4 MB

When the Go-Go's released their debut album Beauty and the Beat in 1981, they became the first all-female band that wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to reach Number 1 on the Billboard Charts. But that’s just one of dozens of incredible accomplishments across the course of their career. You can see a lot of those moments laid out in drummer Gina Schock’s new book, Made In Hollywood: All Access with the Go-Go’s. More than just the story of the Go-Go’s, the book also c...

Nick Allbrook (Pond)

November 03, 2021 20:00 - 46 minutes - 64.1 MB

Pond came out of the incredibly fertile Fremantle scene of the mid-2000s. It’s the scene that gave birth to acts like Tame Impala – of which Nick Allbrook was also a member – and Mink Mussel Creek, as well as solo acts like Jay Watson’s Gum and Shiny Joe Ryan. Thanks to the fact that Fremantle and the nearby city of Perth are some of the most isolated cities in the world, the whole scene was able to develop out of the reach of the music industry. Nick knew a thing or two about seclusion,...

MNDR

October 27, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 98.7 MB

Amanda Warner – AKA MNDR – first came to mainstream attention in 2010 when she collaborated with Mark Ronson on the song "Bang Bang Bang".  Her path to that point was long and winding, and began in rural North Dakota where she was raised. From there she moved through the punk and undergound DIY scenes in Portland and Minneapolis, and then the underground noise and techno scenes in Oakland and New York in the early-to-mid 2000s. None of which would suggest a future career as a pop writer,...

Bob Marlette

October 20, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 98.4 MB

Bob Marlette has been making records quite literally for decades, performing, producing and writing with acts like Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Shinedown, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rob Zombie and more. You might look at a resume like Bob’s and assume he’s always been a rock guy, but some of his earliest credits as a session musician include artists such as Laura Branigan and Tracy Chapman. In this interview we talk about the long, winding path Bob’s career has taken over the years, packed with many ...

James Vincent McMorrow

October 13, 2021 20:00 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MB

James Vincent McMorrow recently released Grapefruit Season, his fifth album. It features contributions from producers and writers like Kenny Beats and Adele collaborator Paul Epworth, and sees him embracing the synths and hip-hop production elements he first started utilising on his second record, 2014's Post Tropical. When he released that album it shocked quite a lot of people, who were expecting him to continue down the nu-folk path of his debut LP, Early In The Morning. But as with c...

Natalie Imbruglia

October 06, 2021 20:00 - 48 minutes - 66.3 MB

Off the back of her hit single "Torn", Natalie Imbruglia’s 1997 debut album sold more than seven million copies and earned her three GRAMMY nominations.  After that initial burst of success, things got a little rocky. While Natalie’s third album, Counting Down The Days, debuted at Number 1 in the UK, her fourth album, Come To Life, was only released in Australia and New Zealand. After that disappointment she took time away from music before launching a comeback in 2015 with a covers albu...
