The Overture & the Underscore, Sarah Blasko's debut album, came out on 11 October 2004, a couple of years after the Sydney singer left her old band Acquiesce to go it alone. Blasko wanted a record with a classic feel, the kind of first album that hints at where an artist could go without trying to do everything at once.
So the production is restrained, with barely any effects on her voice and a light hand on overdubs, and the result is intimate and quietly dramatic. "Don't U Eva" has a sly, slinky pulse, while "Always Worth It" lets her voice do the heavy lifting. It's the launchpad for a career that would bring her an ARIA award for her next record.
