Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins is HUGE in Australia, but here she's nobody. Barely a mention at all, save for her Malaysian fans. I can't even find her CDs here. Which is really sad actually, as Missy Higgins is a great musician.


Her music is a nice balance of mainstream and alternative, possessing adequate commercial appeal but never attempting to sell itself out. Taking the popular singer-songwriter route, she distinguishes herself from among the sea of artistes out there with her soulful voice that has this sharp, crisp quality when hitting the high notes, and is soothingly dreamy when singing at lower tones. Multifaceted? I believe so.



The song is Secret, in which she so deftly handles the high and low notes. She has won 7 ARIA Awards (Australia's equivalent of the Grammy Awards) to date and even had her single, Where I Stood appearing in Grey's Anatomy.

And that Australian accent she sings in? Irresistibly sexy.
