Missy Higgins debut album remains in
the Australian Top 40 more than two year after its release and has become one of the biggest selling Aussie albums of all time.
Where I Stood, the first single from her new album, On A Clear Night, has already shot to #1 in her homeland. After Higgins

Costello, Finn Brothers). Introducing a
newfound positive, uplifting attitude to her passionate singer-songwriter piano rock, On A Clear Night shines a bright light on Australia s most popular young artist.

 Terrific Young Talent November 17, 2008
I don't usually go out and rave about younger singers since I'm more in the anne murray, bruce cockburn, emmylou harris, bob dylan, joni mitchell generation.
But I have to tell you, Missy has got it head and shoulders over any younger singer today. What will she thrill us with when she starts writing more and more, and rips our hearts out with another whole album of "Where I Stoods"?
If I could give this CD six stars I would. This is worth the investment, and since you can download her MP3's, I recommend this album first. Wow!
 Wonderful songs November 8, 2008
What can one say about Missy other than that she is fabulous? Having had the pleasure of seeing her perform in a small restaurant with only a piano and a 100 spectators, I can say that the songs do not require anything other than her voice. The production on this album doubtless adds to the songs, although it is slightly different to her first album. But not to worry, there are still several numbers which feature the piano quite strongly.
I personally love the fact that she sings with her true accent, as opposed to faking an American accent as so many pop singers do. It adds to the truth in the music. There is no pretense. What you see is what you get.
Favourite tracks: Where I stood, Steer, Sugarcane
What a talent! November 2, 2008
After being mesmerized by seeing Missy live with Ben Folds, I have started to fall for her music. She is quite a talent with Piano, Guitar and what a voice!
well-rounded disc November 2, 2008
If I were a few decades younger I would have just downloaded Where I Stand from iTunes. Instead, I took a gamble and bought the whole CD. I was pleased to hear that all of the tracks are as interesting as the single. Okay to leave in the CD player for the whole hour commute. Sort of Indigo Girls meet Alanis with a fresher feel.
very nice music October 30, 2008
