About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The early 21st century has seen a wave of female artists that seem to have been influenced by Tori Amos, but have given Amos' piano-heavy approach a much more apparent pop spin. Case in point, Brooke Fraser, and her 2008 U.S. debut, Albertine. Already quite popular in her homeland of New Zealand (where her 2003 debut, What to Do with Daylight, has spawned several hits and awards), Fraser's sound is quite similar to U.S. pop artists of the American Idol era. No doubt Fraser certainly possesses a heck of a voice (as evidenced by such tracks as "Deciphering Me"), and can also cook up tunes that should have no problem crossing over to the upper reaches of the U.S. pop charts (the slightly Norah Jones-ish "Lover, Where is Your Fire"). However, as with the majority of pop/rock acts of the modern era, there's nothing all that musically groundbreaking that would make Albertine stick out from the rest of the pack. That said, as her first domestic release, Albertine does indeed show great promise, and could certainly serve as a building block towards something special. Keep your peepers peeled.

October 05, 2009: This cd is great. I had been listening to her music for quite a while and finally decided I wanted to buy her cd. She has a great voice and it's a plus that it is Christian music as well. The only problem that I had was that when I received the cd in the mail, the inside teeth that keep the cd in place were broken. Other than that I had it in just a few days after ordering and it was all in good shape.

I love this album!! :-)by Jessa_K

July 08, 2009: Brooke is talented!! All of the songs are so beautiful and full of truth. I love that she writes all of her music and lyrics because it makes personal. I can relate to many of the songs that she wrote. Plus, she is a Christian and I love that her music and the message of Christ is out for the world to hear. Buy this album and you won't regret it! If you like Brooke's music you should take a listen to Hillsong United because she is a part of that awesome Christian singing group of people.Listen to None But Jesus,You'll Come,Hosanna,Soon,and Desert Song because she wrote and sings these songs in Hillsong United.I hope you buy Brooke's album and enjoy it as much as I do!

I Also Recommend: United We Stand, All of the Above, Saviour King, The I Heart Revolution: With Hearts as One, a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down the Walls.
