Saw her supporting the temper trap at Leeds O2 academy, she sounds so much better live!

Oops, my bad. I don't know why I thought she was Swedish, though her bio does refer to a visit to Sweden which was highly influential. Ok, Strine she is - ripper! :o)

We are much privileged to have a cool Husky-mix, who's name is Blasko. . .

Named after Rob "Blasko" Nicholson . . .

Cute and nice, but no grip for me. Same thing when I saw her play at Golden Plains...glad to see Aussie muso's getting some airplay though. Have heard Nick Cave, Augie March and Gotye on here a few times...

So many negative comments, I felt I had to add something positive. I love this woman's voice, and the piano background really adds a visceral chill to the chorus. Yet another fine thing to come out of Sweden - more singers like this and the Swedes might eventually gain forgiveness for inflicting Abba on an unsuspecting world :o). 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Probably. And calling this track worthy might be a tad optimistic.

I agree about the spelling. She should have gone ahead and added some 2s, 4s or maybe even a "z" in place of an "s" while she was at it.

Bill, did i hear you correctly? Sweden?

"Sarah Blasko first began singing in the pews of a church, flanked on one side by her tone-deaf mother, and on the other by an eighty-year-old soprano unafraid to flaunt her vocal chops. Perhaps it was amongst these congregations that the influence of music seeped into her subconscious. For Sarah Blasko was conceived the youngest missionary in the French-speaking paradise of Reunion Island, before her parents returned home to Sydney, Australia."

Nice melancholic chord changes, reminds me of Anathema... hate the hip-hop title spelling though.
