About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Howie Day is a rare talent. His feel for melody and structure coupled with the poetry that comprises his lyrics prove this point over and over, 11 songs running. Even amid, or perhaps thanks to, tastefully straightforward production, Day's brilliance comes through. And seeing as he was 19 when he made Australia, he's just getting started. His are the songs that stick in listeners' minds and ears for days on end, even after only one listen. Dive a little deeper and one gets to the heart of his intimate storytelling, and they'll be awfully glad they did. Just pick a tune, any tune. From "Sorry So Sorry" and "She Says" to "More You Understand" and "Morning After" or any point in between, these are great songs one and all. They are not the work of a teenybopper. Rather, Day falls more in line with Fiona Apple in terms of the maturity and depth of songwriting craft that surprisingly comes from such a young upstart. Indeed, he's an old soul who just happens to have blonde spiky hair. Those who love the smart pop offered by folks like Jonatha Brooke, Neil Finn, and Sheryl Crow will, from the opening groove box rhythm, be hooked on this wunderkind. And his live performances are just as mesmerizing. It's no wonder Australia sold over 10,000 copies before any of the big boys even had a chance to take a meeting. Kelly McCartney, All Music Guide

'Australia'- An Amazing Album!by Anonymous

July 03, 2005: This is truly an amazing record! 'Sorry So Sorry' is one of my favourites, actually, all of them are equally amazing! This is a break from the pop scene today. He doesn't sound like anybody on the charts. His music is relaxing and catchy at the same time! This music is definatly for those who want a break from artists like Avril Lavigne and Jesse McCartney. Overall, this CD is worth the 9 or 10 dollars! The songs are all very well put together, and are perfect for anybody! Some amazing songs are 'Sorry So Sorry', 'She Says', 'Ghost', and 'More You Understand'.

January 29, 2003: This album is quite haunting. I beg all of you to witness this amazing performer in concert. I saw him three times last year opening for Tori Amos. He's brilliant!
