Max Sharam wrote "Coma" on her own, and she was already singing it on the Australian TV talent show New Faces in 1992, a couple of years before it made it onto a record. It finally arrived as the title track of an EP in October 1994 and went on to lead off her 1995 debut album, A Million Year Girl.
Triple J got there first and played it hard; a sleeker, radio-ready mix then carried it onto the commercial playlists, and it climbed to 14 in Australia. Reviewing the EP, Anthony Horan heard nothing else like it that year, a short trip from warped jazz-pop to raw acoustic feeling to strange, operatic flights. At the 1995 ARIA Music Awards the song was up for Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Breakthrough Artist – Single.
