Truth, truth everywhere but not a drop to drink

REVIEW : Sarah Blasko - What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have - I love Sarah Blasko. She's the best female solo artist in Australia, and she's one of the best in the world (Fiona Apple being the best). 'What The Sea Wants' far surpasses it's successor, 'The Overture and The Underscore'. The Overture and The Underscore wasn't a great album, but featured a great voice. What The Sea Wants has both. The album is well paced, and there are plenty of highlights ('The Garden's End', '{explain}' and the spectacular 'Showstopper'), and you wont ever feel the need to skip particular tracks. Next year's ARIA's are going to be very very interesting, and we could see a rise in popularity for Blasko similair to what Wolfmother are experiencing after this year's ceremony. This is yet another outstanding release on the Aussie scene this year (The Grates, Wolfmother, The Cat Empire), and is easily up there with the best albums of 2006. Definite purchase.

9/10 - Class all around
