The Sound of White by Missy Higgins
The Sound of White is an album by Missy Higgins, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ten Days”, on 1 list with a best position of #6.
The Sound of White, Missy Higgins' debut album, came out on Eleven in September 2004, and it's the work of a singer who landed her record deals as a teenager still in school, by taking out Triple J's contest for acts without a label with "All For Believing", which is here too. She backpacked in 2002, toured and wrote through 2003, then made the record with producer John Porter in 2004, writing most of it alone and co-writing three songs with Kevin Griffin, Jay Clifford and Clif Magness.
It's plainspoken, heart-on-sleeve pop with a big, open voice at its center. "Scar", the first single, won APRA's Song of the Year in 2005; "Ten Days" and "The Special Two" kept things going, and the title track closed the run. Critics were split, but the public wasn't: it went to number one in Australia, was certified platinum twelve times, and brought her a stack of ARIA Awards, Best Female Artist among them.
