Editor's note

Missy Higgins writes plain songs about complicated feelings.

An Australian songwriter whose work pairs personal storytelling with straightforward melodies.

For a sense of her approach, try 'Scar' or 'Where I Stood'. They frame her way of handling emotional landscapes without much ornamentation.

Her debut single 'Scar' established her with introspective lyrics and haunting vocals, and the album 'The Sound of White' went triple platinum in Australia. Songs like 'Where I Stood' treat heartbreak directly, and more recent tracks such as 'Blackfella / Whitefella' show her engagement with broader themes. She won ARIA Awards for Album of the Year and Best Female Artist in 2005.

She started writing songs as a teenager in Melbourne, inspired by artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Since her 2004 debut, she's released albums including 'On a Clear Night' in 2007 and 'Total Control' in 2023.
