Missy Higgins spoke with Australia’s Time Off magazine about going to Los Angeles to record her new album ‘On A Clear Night’ with Mitchell Froom. “He’s a very inspirational guy to worth with,” Higgins said. “He’s produced so many amazing albums over the years, including all the Crowded House albums, so I was just trying to learn as much as I could from him in the short time that we worked together. He’s a really easy guy to get along with and he seemed to have the same idea of what my record should sound like that I did. He had so many stories but none that could ever leave the recording studio, I think.” Timeoff.com.au has since removed the full article.
Missy Higgins has already seen some remarkable success in her home country of Australia, but the young star is not content to rest on her popularity down under, touring America and select European venues. “I don’t think it’s too hard, in general, for Australians to make it overseas,” she told Reuters in an interview, “as long as they’re good and as long as they’ve got decent people surrounding them, management that have faith in them and that are going to help them market themselves overseas, but as long as they’re good I think they’ll be recognized anywhere.”
Missy Higgins was the big winner at the ARIA Awards on Sunday night (October 23), where the singer won Album Of The Year, Best Female Artist, Highest Selling Album, Best Breakthrough Album, and Best Pop Release. “I’m so grateful to everybody who voted — it was an amazing night,” said Missy, who also performed the title track from her album during the ARIA Awards telecast. “I can remember watching the ARIA’s when I was still at school and it never occurred to me that I’d even get to go to them — let alone that I’d be one of the people getting up and trying to make an acceptance speech! I think it will take a few months for it all to sink in.”
