Australian award-winning singer-songwriter, Kate Miller-Heidke is set to release her first 'pop' album in six years titled 'Child In Reverse'.
Produced and recorded in Melbourne by Evan Klar, 'Child In Reverse' is 11 songs sculpted into 3 and 4-minute shots of love and fear, memory and empathy, rage and redemption."I keep getting drawn back to pop music," Kate says, despite recent triumphs in opera ('The Rabbits'), musical theatre ('Muriel's Wedding') and screen ('The Divorce').
"The minimalism, the economy. . . I find that incredibly rewarding and challenging. It's like a quest to nail the perfect pop song.
"When it can be done, for me, as a listener, it's my favourite music."
Kate has just dropped the album's second single 'Deluded', an instant pop crush of effortless, gently compulsive grooves.
After attending APRA SongHubs last year and writing with complete strangers, Kate was inspired after hitting gold on the first day with producer Evan Klar and backing vocalist Hailey Collier.
More sessions were arranged back in Melbourne for the following summer. "What I love about Evan's style is his freshness, a feeling of spontaneity," Kate says.
"Musically the whole album came together really smoothly. I think that comes across when you listen to it."
Kate Miller-Heidke's new album 'Child In Reverse' is due for release on 30 October. Click here to pre-order it.
