Editorial Reviews

Gin Wigmore is a distinctive singer/songwriter, whose sound is driven by a startling voice; her delivery succinctly described by a critic as 'whiskey and dry' and whose self-penned songs provide a refreshing new take on life as a '20-something' and yet relate across the generations. Geographically, Gin tracks from Auckland to Buenos Aires to Sydney. Vocally she runs from Macy Gray to Blondie to Edith Piaf. Five tracks. Universal Motown

I first heard of Gin Wigmore while traveling with my brother in New Zealand in August of 2008. We heard her song "Under My Skin" while driving along the coast in Dunedin, NZ and then heard it several other times throughout our trip. Once back in the States I searched for her album but it was not available anywhere online. I'm so glad it's finally available here in the US.

Gin has such an original and refreshing voice that it almost makes you overlook the lyrics. But getting lost in her voice and ignoring the lyrics would do Gin a disservice. I only hope that she records a full length album in the near future. She really shines in her more upbeat songs such as "S.O.S" and "Under My Skin". I highly recommend purchasing this album!

This first album of Gin's is fantastic!! The songs are so catchy. The songs have a bit of an old school vibe.
I also suggest getting her album "Holy Smoke" as well. Its just as fun to listen too.
