AuraliaSky are a new country rock duo hailing from Milton Keynes, comprising of singer/songwriter Michelle Myall and guitarist Gareth Warren. The duo are about to launch their debut album ‘Tapestry of the heart’, taking influence from artists such as Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, the talented pair bring a fresh, sassy twist to their music.
Michelle’s
rich, bluesy voice lends itself extremely well to the style of music; each song
on the album feels like it’s sung straight from the heart with plenty of
emotion and attitude to boot, combined with Gareth’s rhythmic and soulful
guitar playing, this gives the songs an extra edge, providing a complimentary
rock feel steeped with country grooves.
Songs to look
out for include ‘Heart of glass’ which
really shows off the quality and polished musicianship these guys are producing,
‘Ammunition’ as it highlights Michelle’s
amazing vocal versatility and my favourite song from the album ‘Mississippi Queen’ because it’s fun,
lively and has your feet tapping in no time.
The album is easy
to listen to and they successfully expel any myths that country music is outdated
or lame by singing songs with contemporary themes and injecting their own
exciting, modern vibe into them. This is a great album so, make sure you check
them out and catch them when you can!
