Already voted by Australia’s ARIA Awards (similar to our Grammys) as the winner of six awards in 2008 including Best Female Artist and Breakthrough Album, Cilmi’s lead single, “Sweet About Me,” is a fun, catchy tune that you won’t be able to get out of your head.
Cilmi’s voice sounds older than her 17 years and tunes such as “Save the Lies,” “Got No Place To Go,” “Safer” and “Sit in the Blues” display her range from catchy to sweet and reflective.
“Sweet About Me” is available everywhere now.
