Billboard:
ARTIST: MISSY HIGGINS
ALBUM: ON A CLEAR NIGHT (Warner Bros. Records)
Higgins' debut, "The Sound of White," went nine times platinum in her native Australia, but it failed to make more than a small dent in the U.S. market. Here Higgins seeks to broaden her appeal, stepping away from primarily piano-led ballads and opting for more uptempo, guitar-driven numbers. Fans of KT Tunstall will be drawn to the jangly "100 Round the Bends," while the "Grey's Anatomy"-soundtrack crowd will gravitate toward such heart-scorchers as "Forgive Me" and the learning-to-let-go ballad "Where I Stood," which was featured on the show in November. The feisty "Peachy" and the foreboding "Secret," which was built around three notes, offer unique twists. On the straightforward "Steer," one of the album's best moments, Higgins sounds assured over a soaring chorus.
