Editor's note

Jessica Mauboy, from Idol to personal pop

An Australian singer who moved from TV fame into dance-pop and more reflective work.

For the pop rush, 'Runnin'' still holds up. If you want the later, more reflective tone, 'Never Be the Same' is the one.

She first got noticed on Australian Idol in 2006, but her music built its own lane. Songs like 'Runnin'' and 'Tough Love' are pure dance-pop energy, while 'Never Be the Same' in 2018 showed a ballad side that connected. She's also brought her Indigenous heritage into the conversation, which adds a layer you don't always get in pop.

Her debut album 'Been Waiting' arrived in 2008, followed by 'Get 'Em Girls' in 2010. By 2018, the album 'HILR' suggested a turn toward more personal material, a shift you can hear in that year's 'Never Be the Same'.
