What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have by Sarah Blasko
What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have is an album by Sarah Blasko, released in 2006. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Always On This Line”, on 1 list with a best position of #58.
What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have, Sarah Blasko's second album, came out on Dew Process on 21 October 2006, two years after The Overture & the Underscore had launched the former Acquiesce frontwoman's solo career on record. It climbed to No. 7 on the ARIA albums chart and threw off a healthy string of singles: "{Explain}" went to radio first, then "Always on this Line", "Planet New Year" and, last of all, "Amazing Things".
Blasko's voice is the anchor, cool and intimate one moment and swelling into something stormier the next, and the arrangements give it plenty of tide to push against. The record was up for Australian Album of the Year at the 2006 J Award, and at the ARIA Music Awards of 2007 it took home Best Pop Release. Warwick Baker shot the cover.
