Album Review: Kate Miller-Heidke - The Best Of: Act One

This wide-ranging introduction and overview to Kate Miller-Heidke's idiosyncratic work, features her classically-trained operatic trill colliding with some social conscience and wit to make chamber pop unlike much else.

Across two discs, there's the stuff to make you think a bit, including Caught In The Crowd, and the new You've Underestimated Me, Dude, as well as wistfully emotional works such as Drama, the quite towering Last Day On Earth, and the happily absurd I'm Growing A Beard Downstairs For Christmas. If that's not enough, there's a bunch of live renditions and selections from her opera project, The Rabbits. You could say she's been busy, but you can still expect an Act Two.
