Sarah Blasko

That gorgeous sonic space inhabited by Sydney-born Sarah Blasko — somewhere near the confluence of pop, folk, and electronica — has been a source of wonderment since she introduced herself as a solo artist with 2002's Prelusive EP, and has landed her with the justly flattering moniker Girliohead. Like Radiohead, she never opts for the well-worn path, and consistently surprises with a production style that sets the tough-edged tenderness of her voice within sometimes vast soundscapes that exist beyond the sky — if that sounds overblown, just listen to her treatment of Crowded House's "Don't Dream Its Over," and everything becomes clear in an instant. Here we've pulled select highlights from her first two albums, and set them alongside a couple of live tracks and choice collaborations.
