4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Songs On Her Album..., September 18, 2005

By 

Rocky "Raquel" (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All for Believing (Audio CD)

I heard the full c.d. and I must say the top five songs I loved were on this short but powerful EP so I decided why not save a few extra dollars and just get this. It was worth the money for these songs are just great and show off Missy's power and her own sound that she wishes to give to the world. I heard she is a big hit in her native country and I can see why. She has obviously good piano skills she shows off on her songs and her voice gives a good touch to her songs. I never had a singer with her accent so it is a nice touch to my collection. Her voice reminds me sort of like Dido- they don't sound alike but they have the same 'I don't need to stretch my vocals to the height of the ceiling to be noticed' type of voice. Her vocals are pleasant and strong and match with her sound well.
Although I still do not consider her a five star artist, since her whole official album was not exactly the most strongest and these five songs are really the only ones that did catch me truly, I think if she continues to work on her songs and sharpen her musical potential I feel she has definitely, I think she could become the next big thing in no time. We'll have to see.
Yet for now I will enjoy her EP, for it is a great buy. I advise anyone kind of iffy about buying her whole album to get this five- song EP. It has her most outstanding songs on here, and if you're a piano junkie like I, you'll probably enjoy them very much so.

1) All For Believing- A somber start, where Missy shows off her more softer and reflective side. I've always liked this song, although it is not the strongest song on here. B+

2) Ten Days- A little more of an upbeat song, and probably my most favorite song on here. The song is very memorable and catchy and I think it has a nice touch of beauty in it especially in the lyrics. Nice background sound and piano. A+

3) Scar- It's like she goes from somber, to a little more upbeat, and in Scar she goes all the way upbeat. Scar has a catchy background for sound and awesome piano sound. Very uplifting and also a single I have heard it a few times on my adult alternative radio station. Very cool song. A

4) Nightminds- I love the lyrics in this song they hit me so hard. The music itself in the song is lovely and darkly lit again, and again the song goes down a little bit but still very strong. A

5) Any Day Now- Now the song goes very somber again, and although the song is lovely and I like hearing it a lot, it is not very memorable like the other songs. Where I find myself humming the other songs, I really cannot remember this one without it playing at that moment. Still lovely though, and Missy uses her pleasant vocals to put this EP into a nice and pleasing close. B

The middle songs 2, 3, and 4 are the best and most strongest songs on here, and the best ones to get to know. Missy brings a nice, unique tough to the piano junkie's collection. Missy does not smash into your music system, but subtly, sneakily, gets under your skin in no time. I'm sure I'll hear more of her soon, or at least I hope so.

Missy Higgins has a phenomenal way with words. She is not only a talented singer but also an amazing story teller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Australian Accent, October 23, 2005

By 

Nick "Nick" (Bloomington, Indiana) - See all my reviews

Missy Higgins' accent is definitely Australian! I'm told her speaking voice is a little more refined but she sings with a working-class Australian accent some people call "bogan".

What's more the songs are brilliant!
