Kate Miller-Heidke – O Vertigo!

Miller-Heidke’s fourth studio album and her first since leaving Sony, O Vertigo! finds the Brisbane songstress in fine form – and while there are no great departures here, this album is arguably her most accomplished to date.

The vocals – always one of her strongest points – are superb, and musically she’s better than ever. Highlights here include Offer it Up, Share Your Air (feat. Passenger) and the title track.

If there’s a downside, it’s the predictability of tracks like What Was I To You? – an angry ‘you did me wrong’ relationship number with ‘ironic’ sweet melodies. However, overall a strong album. (PH)
