"Le Pie has enough talent and uniqueness within her style and performance to soar."

More Le Pie More Le Pie

Myami from Melbourne has a synth-pop sound, mixing electro madness and calm tones. Myami skilfully staggered her vocals in the more upbeat tunes to imitate glitchy remixes. Her voice was right on every note.

Sophie Lowe, formerly known as Solo, is an English-born Australian actress/singer-songwriter, her vocals tinged by a slight British accent. She opened with Understand, a track that highlights her sultry style. However at times her voice seemed to lack the requisite power. Her cover of Robyn's With Every Heart Beat was executed well, showing that pop may suit her best.

Dressed in 1960s Barbie doll attire, Le Pie finally took to the stage. She began by channelling '60s pop, but with her own dark spin. The next few pieces kept the '60s vibes going until she got to Josephine, which took on more of a '90s girl grunge-pop feel. Le Pie then switched between these two genres from song to song: this showcased her range but the interchanges were a bit clunky. Her take on Kylie Minogue's Better The Devil You Know was impressive, making the song her own and almost brilliantly unrecognisable. She followed this with Secrets, which got the crowd going. Le Pie has enough talent and uniqueness within her style and performance to soar, offering that something different the Sydney music scene has been craving from a female artist for a long time.
