Description
Australian award-winning singer-songwriter, Kate Miller-Heidke has just released her first ‘pop’ album in six years.
Produced and recorded in Melbourne by Evan Klar, ‘Child In Reverse’ is 11 songs sculpted into 3 and 4-minute shots of love and fear, memory and empathy, rage and redemption.
“I keep getting drawn back to pop music,” Kate says, despite recent triumphs in opera (‘The Rabbits’), musical theatre (‘Muriel’s Wedding’) and screen (‘The Divorce’) & of course her extraordinary performance at last years EUROVISION from high up on top of a bendy pole.. …”The minimalism, the economy. . . I find that incredibly rewarding and challenging. It’s like a quest to nail the perfect pop song. When it can be done, for me, as a listener, it’s my favourite music.”
The new album features effortless, gently compulsive grooves.
Child In Reverse delivers eleven nuggets of finely crafted pop tunes that are soft, dreamy and impossibly silky smooth whilst moving to compulsive grooves. Lyrically, Miller-Heidke is in an introspective mood, dealing with difficult haunting memories, disappointment and the hurt of a broken heart.
