Gabriella Cilmi A New Generation of Hot Australian singers.
After many years of frankly not much to shout about, Australia is producing a crop of super talented chicks. First there is Gabriella Cilmi and of cours our very own Sesha, whose video "The Power of Love" is threatening to become the next big Youtube hit.The future is bright for Australian pop. Gabriella's single "Sweet About Me", written with Xenomania who gave us the excellent Sugababes song "Someone In My Bed" is catchy and while it's not my favourite song on the album, I have found myself singing along to it and her vocal style is unique enough to penetrate your brain. She has been compared to Amy Winehouse and it's obvious why. However, she is young and doesn't yet have the mature vocal tones that Amy does. Gabriella should go out of her way to dispel the comparisons and by supporting Sugababes on their tour, I think she is making a big statement to distance herself from the "Amy Winehouse lite" tag.
On a wider point, regarding female Australian singers, Australia isn't reknowned for great Australian female pop stars. There's Kylie and well, Kylie. Stephanie McKintosh couldn't cut it, Kate Alexa is more 'bark' than 'bite' (although she is young and is growing as a singer), one of the problems of the past is a certain pop snobbery amongst musicians and singers. However this is changing and on the underground there are a lot of hot, good looking singers who with a bit of guidance and collaboration with the right writers and producers, will be able to rival the Sugababes, Girls Aloud, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihannas of this world.
All in All Gabriella is the start of a new generation of female Australian pop singers, with her super, delicious HOT MUSIC !
