It's pretty, isn't it? Got an 11 00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:07,893 Speaker 3: amazing voice. She just released an album called Beautifully Ordinary, 12 00:01:08,373 --> 00:01:11,893 Speaker 3: and our music review at Stelle Clifford has been listening Gila, 13 00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:14,053 Speaker 3: I'm really glad. 14 00:01:13,853 --> 00:01:16,053 Speaker 4: You say with that song for just to get that 15 00:01:16,213 --> 00:01:21,013 Speaker 4: real full range of her, Yeah, the richness of her vocals, 16 00:01:21,013 --> 00:01:23,653 Speaker 4: and I actually that's I think probably my favorite off 17 00:01:23,693 --> 00:01:26,653 Speaker 4: the album, and I wanted to showcase it because if 18 00:01:26,693 --> 00:01:29,973 Speaker 4: you know Dance Monkey, then you kind of know what 19 00:01:30,013 --> 00:01:31,933 Speaker 4: her voice is like. But this one just gives that 20 00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:35,733 Speaker 4: real variation on what she can do vocally. And I 21 00:01:35,773 --> 00:01:39,133 Speaker 4: love the crescendos and I love the choir that comes 22 00:01:39,173 --> 00:01:43,013 Speaker 4: in and it is pretty like it's this pretty pop 23 00:01:43,133 --> 00:01:45,893 Speaker 4: song and it's nice to hear her do something that's 24 00:01:45,893 --> 00:01:48,053 Speaker 4: a little bit different, because we know she can bring 25 00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:51,173 Speaker 4: the jams that you can dance to, and there's plenty 26 00:01:51,213 --> 00:01:53,733 Speaker 4: of those on this album too, but just to also 27 00:01:53,853 --> 00:01:58,253 Speaker 4: have that, I think there's more emotion behind some of 28 00:01:58,293 --> 00:01:59,213 Speaker 4: what she's singing. 29 00:01:58,973 --> 00:02:00,773 Speaker 3: In this album, and I think it's a really nice. 30 00:02:00,573 --> 00:02:03,253 Speaker 4: Bit of growth for her to actually go, yeah, I'm 31 00:02:03,293 --> 00:02:06,213 Speaker 4: gonna own this and go somewhere different. There's a couple 32 00:02:06,253 --> 00:02:08,213 Speaker 4: of songs like that actually that have sort of surprised me. 33 00:02:08,613 --> 00:02:11,253 Speaker 4: Is a song called Sorrento, and I wasn't quite sure 34 00:02:11,253 --> 00:02:14,493 Speaker 4: who she was singing about until her Nana on Instagram 35 00:02:14,773 --> 00:02:17,693 Speaker 4: did a reveal of her album cover, and I think 36 00:02:17,693 --> 00:02:20,213 Speaker 4: it's actually like a love letter to her granddad, I 37 00:02:20,293 --> 00:02:22,053 Speaker 4: can hang it out in Sorrento. I just thought that 38 00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:24,853 Speaker 4: was really beautiful. It's funny when you listen to Tones 39 00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:27,773 Speaker 4: and I because you forget that she's full ossy, and 40 00:02:27,813 --> 00:02:30,293 Speaker 4: then you get onto her Instagram and you hear her 41 00:02:30,453 --> 00:02:33,133 Speaker 4: full sassy, ossy accent and you're like, oh, that's right, 42 00:02:33,173 --> 00:02:37,173 Speaker 4: and she's funny man, and she's a bit chaos her 43 00:02:37,253 --> 00:02:39,933 Speaker 4: can Yeah, totally taking the mickey out of Nana doing 44 00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,293 Speaker 4: the album reveal which I just I thought that was 45 00:02:42,293 --> 00:02:45,133 Speaker 4: really cute. It's just a nice thing to show the 46 00:02:45,853 --> 00:02:47,413 Speaker 4: tones of and I the song there, I think everybody 47 00:02:47,493 --> 00:02:50,213 Speaker 4: knows is dance Monkey, and I'm not sure if you 48 00:02:50,293 --> 00:02:53,933 Speaker 4: mentioned it earlier, but the whole over three billion streams 49 00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:58,093 Speaker 4: on Spotify for just one single, and that's huge, and 50 00:02:58,133 --> 00:03:01,293 Speaker 4: it really catapulted her to a different level, right, like 51 00:03:02,293 --> 00:03:06,133 Speaker 4: really successful Australian artist now suddenly on this global recognition, 52 00:03:07,213 --> 00:03:10,853 Speaker 4: and that song just keeps being one of her one 53 00:03:10,853 --> 00:03:13,933 Speaker 4: of her biggest songs. There's some songs on this album 54 00:03:13,973 --> 00:03:19,533 Speaker 4: that are gonna gonna compete with it, really you reckon, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 55 00:03:19,653 --> 00:03:22,493 Speaker 4: just is catchy. There's actually a song called Dance with Me, 56 00:03:22,533 --> 00:03:24,733 Speaker 4: so this Monkey is all about dancing for me. And 57 00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:26,813 Speaker 4: then there's a song called dance with Me, so maybe 58 00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:29,133 Speaker 4: that's a little bit of a you know, she wants 59 00:03:29,133 --> 00:03:30,693 Speaker 4: someone to dance with and now as a poster you 60 00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:33,813 Speaker 4: being out there on your own doing your thing. Yeah, 61 00:03:33,853 --> 00:03:36,933 Speaker 4: but it's still big and pop and catchy executly like 62 00:03:36,973 --> 00:03:40,813 Speaker 4: that song there, She's got a bit of blues sway 63 00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:44,293 Speaker 4: and country swag and a couple of the tracks later 64 00:03:44,373 --> 00:03:48,653 Speaker 4: into the album, I think maybe that's possibly to keep 65 00:03:48,773 --> 00:03:51,493 Speaker 4: up with where because pop and country have been doing 66 00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:55,453 Speaker 4: that real popular crossover, Like a lot of artists delving 67 00:03:55,493 --> 00:03:58,013 Speaker 4: into that country thing if they wouldn't already a country artist. 68 00:03:59,213 --> 00:04:01,733 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's necessarily my favorite of her stuff, 69 00:04:01,733 --> 00:04:04,253 Speaker 4: but it kind of breaks up the album and gives 70 00:04:04,293 --> 00:04:06,813 Speaker 4: it a little different sort of groove. So I kind 71 00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:08,653 Speaker 4: of like I think she's played a little bit more 72 00:04:08,693 --> 00:04:10,933 Speaker 4: on this album with that kind of stuff. Yeah, her 73 00:04:10,973 --> 00:04:15,293 Speaker 4: distinctive voice, some real big anthem productions, a couple of 74 00:04:15,293 --> 00:04:17,373 Speaker 4: tracks where it's just a girl and her guitar and 75 00:04:17,453 --> 00:04:21,053 Speaker 4: she can hold her own on those, and yeah, lots 76 00:04:21,053 --> 00:04:22,893 Speaker 4: of that dance stuff, and then also this use of 77 00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:27,093 Speaker 4: this choir for backing vocals, which just adds another level, 78 00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,693 Speaker 4: doesn't it. Yeah, Like it's just a beautiful kind of 79 00:04:29,733 --> 00:04:32,773 Speaker 4: thing to hear. Possibly one or too many tracks on 80 00:04:32,813 --> 00:04:33,973 Speaker 4: the album, Like it's quite long. 81 00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:35,293 Speaker 3: How many tracks are they? 82 00:04:35,493 --> 00:04:38,093 Speaker 4: I think it's like sixteen tracks or something, Okay, yeah, yeah, 83 00:04:38,133 --> 00:04:40,293 Speaker 4: but maybe that's just also because there's those ones that 84 00:04:40,373 --> 00:04:41,133 Speaker 4: really stand out. 85 00:04:41,493 --> 00:04:42,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's cool. 86 00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 4: I'm happy with those ones. Yeah, Yeah, there's a couple 87 00:04:47,173 --> 00:04:49,173 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh yeah, that's kind of a similar sort 88 00:04:49,173 --> 00:04:51,333 Speaker 4: of pop song. I think when she adds those variations, 89 00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,213 Speaker 4: that's kind of what you're living for to hear that 90 00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:55,653 Speaker 4: in her. I think it's gonna be a good album 91 00:04:55,693 --> 00:04:58,373 Speaker 4: to tour, Like, there's lots of fun, it's quite raw 92 00:04:58,413 --> 00:05:01,373 Speaker 4: at times with her emotion. She opens with a track 93 00:05:01,413 --> 00:05:03,773 Speaker 4: that is just full like anyone who's ever doubted her 94 00:05:03,893 --> 00:05:05,893 Speaker 4: or had anything bad to say. She's like, well, I'm 95 00:05:05,933 --> 00:05:08,853 Speaker 4: just going to give it all back to all of you. Yeah, 96 00:05:08,893 --> 00:05:11,653 Speaker 4: and a real showcase of her range. So she's really 97 00:05:12,213 --> 00:05:15,133 Speaker 4: really showing off in this in this album too, which 98 00:05:15,133 --> 00:05:16,973 Speaker 4: I think is quite cool to hear her voice stretch. 99 00:05:17,373 --> 00:05:17,893 Speaker 3: Yeah. 100 00:05:18,133 --> 00:05:20,493 Speaker 4: Yeah.
