Sarah Blasko The Overture
Put together Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones and strip them of such deliciously straightforward lyrics as McLachlan's 'Your love is better than ice cream,' and what you get is bound to resemble Sarah Blasko on The Overture & the Underscore: an entrancing artist who sings exceptionally well but is bent on making you guess what brews within her heart rather than pouring it out to you. 'Disconnected things, you exist within a kind of truth/And the consequence is a consummated trial of fire.

Background[edit]
'Essentially I wanted there to be something really classic about the album', says Blasko on her official website.[1] 'The kind of debut albums I like are those that don't try and do too much too soon, that point towards a number of possible directions, and that give the songs some room to move. It was really important to me that my voice and the songs had some character and that there was an intimacy to them. We tried to achieve this by using little or no effect on the voice and not going too far with overdubs.'
Triple J music director Richard Kingsmill rated it ninth on his list of favourite 2004 albums.[2] In 2011, he named it the 10th Greatest Australian Album Of All Time. [3]
The album features former Beck and R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, who took a few days off working on Paul McCartney's album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard with producer Nigel Godrich to lay down his drum tracks for The Overture & the Underscore.

In October 2010 As Day Follows Night was listed at No. 19 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums; the authors noted that it 'turned on emotional subtlety and instrumental clarity. It sounded like little else in 2009, or most any other year'.Description provided by Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 4.0
