Right, guys. So I have been crazy listening to Miss Higgins and so I don't have a Two Timing Tuesday for you. Additionally, I realised when writing this post that I used this song a few weeks ago when I used her on a Tuesday. So!  With that, I do not have anything new to share with you, but I kept the post that I wrote for this even though I've already used because, well, I took the time to write it. Have a great day. 

Song: "Set Me On Fire" ~ Artist: Missy Higgins

Comments:   Happy Tuesday, all. Sorry I am not coming up with a Two Timing Tuesday this time. I have listened to this artist so much the last few days and this song in particular has been on loop and played probably 7 or 8 times in the last hour and a half. This song is a foot tapping favourite of mind. It makes me want to snap my fingers and sing along. This song has a jazzy beginning with a quick, staccato tempo and the chorus turns into more of a relaxed pop tune.  The bridge turns a bit slow, but doesn't take long to pick up to the relaxing yet mildly quick beat.  This song also does a good job of showing some of the range in Miss Higgins voice. What I like about her voice that is different from some of the other artists is the subtlety she has and the fact that you can hear her Australian accent when she sings. Normally accents are hidden in their songs, but no hers and it's a nice change up.

Song: "Hello, Hello" ~ Artist: Missy Higgins


Comments: Heeeeey there, listeners! So, I came across a new Australian artist recently and she is absolutely wonderful! Miss Higgins has an angelic voice and a wonderfully soft, yet powerful range and sound. She has 3 albums the earliest being released in 2004 and her most recent was released last year. I have put that on my list of CDs to obtain because I have done nothing except listen to it for the last two days. It was incredibly difficult to pick a song, so what I did was pick ones that had official videos. While many of her songs are mellow and have a medium tempo this song is one of the faster ones. It's catchy and I'm replaying it in my head as I write this. I will say that this has a bit of a strange music video, but it's at least entertaining.

Comments: Her songs use a beautiful combination of typical piano, guitar, drums, but also trumpet and cello. I really like this song because it has a bit of a swinging beat; it makes me want to dance and sing along. And it the chorus also shows off some of the range in her voice. If y'all are liking this fabulous foreigner there is a full concert on Youtube that is excellent (from what I've listened to so far).  She sounds just as beautiful live which is a hard quality to come by sometimes. Happy listening!
