The Melbourne singer who topped charts with "Shine" and returned with "The Good Fight."
For the early sound, "Shine" still has that 2000s pop-rock punch. From the later catalog, "Send Me The Manual" shows a more reflective side.
When "Shine" hit number one in 2000, it announced a new Australian pop voice that could fill stadiums. Songs like "Everybody Cries Hallelujah" and "Best Days" became radio fixtures, and her 2001 album "The Power" went multi-platinum. Even her 2014 national anthem performance, criticized as theatrical, showed she never dialed down the intensity.
Her debut single "Shine" launched a run that included the multi-platinum album "The Power" and a live album at the Palais in 2002. After albums like "Change" and "Somewhere in the Real World," she took a hiatus before returning with "The Good Fight" in 2018.
