Product Description
24 year old Brooke Fraser is a pop phenomenon in New Zealand and Australia, where sales of her new album Albertine and debut What To Do With Daylight have together sold over 225,000 units. Brooke recorded Albertine in Hollywood with renowned producer Marshall Altman (Train, Marc Broussard & Matt Nathanson) and
is now ready to conquer the rest of the world. Brooke is a member of the Hillsong United Church for which she has written two wildly popular and best selling hymns. Her performance of one of those hymns, Hosanna has had over 1,400,000 views on Youtube.
Her solo album songs appeal just as much to fans of mainstream artists like Sarah McLachlan, Ingrid Michaelson and KT Tunstall. To date she has over 3 million plays on her Youtube channel, over 730,000 plays and 30,000 friends on her Myspace page. A national club tour and major festivals will start on the album release at the end of May.

Love it! January 6, 2009
I had never heard of this singer before, but saw her video on TV. I looked her up on the internet and decided to buy one album. It is good. She does have a very pure sound. I hope Brooke Fraser does more albums in the future.
Brilliantly done January 6, 2009
To me, this is a great example of good music. Fraser has an ability to tranfer spiritual convictions into lyrics that have a depth beyond the language typically used by most of her contemporaries on the radio. I usually don't like one or two songs in a CD, but each of these have been skillfully done and carefully composed, and each of them are equally brilliant that this is possibly the only CD I've ever enjoyed completely. There is nothing shallow in her lyrics, nothing that can be considered cliche...not even the more romantically inclined "Love is Waiting." Plus, she has a really good singing voice, which is far more than what I can say than some of the things I've heard nowadays.
Easy Listening December 28, 2008
I had never heard of Brook Fraser but I listened to this C.D. off of Amazon and liked what I heard. Her voice reminded me of Sarah McLachlan. I like it because it is very calming and easy to listen to.
Excellent Album from Brooke Fraser December 23, 2008
After listening to the first half of the album, I realized that Fraser is legitimate. The music reminds me of Sarah McLachlan, Nichole Nordeman, Jennifer Knapp, and others. One of the most impressive elements of Fraser's music is her serene, beautiful voice. The musical production is tight and the are thoughtful lyrics relate to her listeners.
It's exciting to think about what she is capable of doing in her career. Brooke Fraser comes from Hillsong, an internationally-recognized Christian worship from New Zealand. This is the first time I've heard of her. She has put out an impressive album, and she's only in her 20's.
Practically all the reviews on www.amazon.com are positive. She does an excellent job of combining beautiful music with Christian faith. This isn't always easy to do in CCM (Contemporary Christian Music).
ChristianityToday.com wrote, "What's striking about Fraser is how well she's able to reconcile her beliefs with her singer/songwriter side. A worship leader at heart, Fraser can't help but write songs addressed directly to God, but in a way that's at once artistic, prayerful, and introspective."
Excellent album Ms. Fraser! We're going to enjoy this album and look forward to more from you in the future.
Beautiful! December 12, 2008
Such an inspirational and gifted artist! An excellent CD, I'd like to find her first one and I'm looking forward to more from her. She's also with Hillsong United and they have AWESOME worship. I highly recommend this CD.
