Kate Miller-Heidke

Add Date: March 9

Artist: Kate Miller - Heidke

Album: Curiouser

Label: SIN/SONY

Genre: Pop

Comments: Gian Erguiza from the Frantik Magazine thinks that "if Lily Allen, Sarah McLachlan, and Cyndi Lauper had a baby and the baby grew up to be a performer, that baby would be Kate Miller-Heidke." Quite a disturbing image there, but he might be on to something. You'll definitely recognize some Lily Allen-ness in the sassy lyrics and some girl power action a la Cindy Lauper in songs like "I Like You Better When You're Not Around". But she still has a unique sound, part of which is her voice that can reach crazy notes (if I'm not mistaken, she used to take lessons to become an opera singer). Definitely give it a listen, it will win you over pretty quickly. Start with "I Like You Better When You're Not Around", "God's Gift to Women" and "Politics in Space."
