"Her writing has evolved into a seamless expression of wisdom and craft." EG, The Age. "Her freshest sounding album yet." Metro, Sydney Morning Herald. "She's just fine when flying solo." HIT, Herald Sun. "Hart's voice has never sounded so effortless." The West Australian. "A lovely slice of acoustic whimsy (and witty too!)" Frankie Magazine. "Surprise. Our tender indie pop ingénue is a voice of rare and poetic wisdom." Rolling Stone. "This record guarantees her place among Australia's well-respected singer-songwriters." Time Off. "As real and as acute and as sadly beautiful as a love song can get." Mess and Noise.
Intimate and effortlessly charming, clever in letting Hart's often enchanting voice shine. - Rolling Stone
The childlike voice of Frente-era Hart has acquired a more mature, worldly patina, but it's still a honey-dipped delight perfectly suited to her kind of soulful pop - even the album's most melancholy ballads are etched in shimmery light - The Sunday Age
Grounded Bird is filled with warm and wired pop, penned with diverse co-writers. - Cameron Adams, Herald Sun
Singer-songwriter Angie Hart rose to fame with the Melbourne-based alt-pop
band ‘Frente!' which formed in 1991, selling more than a million
records worldwide and changing the face of pop music in Australia. Post-Frente,
Angie formed the duo ‘Splendid' and later teamed up with Dean Manning
as ‘Holidays on Ice'.
More recently Angie Hart has become her own entity, releasing solo album ‘Grounded
Bird' in late 2007. Her forthcoming album 'Eat My Shadow', due for release
in October 2009, was recorded with ARIA-Award winning producer Shane Nicholson,
and again features her celebrated winsome yet playful vocals that pack a lyrical
punch.
Angie Hart reveals the first fruits of her sophomore album, by way of the
first single, 'I'm Afraid of Fridays'. Written with Hunters and Collectors
front man Mark Seymour, and produced by ARIA and APRA award winning producer
Shane Nicholson, 'Fridays' is Angie's antidote to the trials and tribulations
of all that the weekend may bring.
'I'm Afraid of Fridays' portends to the forthcoming album, full of skillfully
written songs with Angie's much-imitated, never-bettered vocals as cornerstone
to all the musical proceedings. The album contains collaborations with some
of Australia's (and indeed international) finest writers and musicians. Shows
being announced soon!

Thanks for the concert at the Toff on Saturday night. It was great to see you and sing along quietly with some of the songs and get to hear your new ones for the first time. I'd have forgotten the lyrics much more often than you did. :)
Hey Angie , My sister just had a baby. jurying the delivery she told me she had a frente cd playing to calm her down . Kinda nice that the first thing this new human heard was you signing .
Went to your Album launch at the Toff. It was great - you've a gentle, strong and playful presence. We also got your new album and are looking forward to playing it over and over.
Thanks for being so courageous and sharing your talent with us. :)
Dear Angie, This is official notification that we here at Inrageous Ourtrospective take exception to your recent claim on the Transference show on RRR fm to have spontaneously invented the word 'Outrospective'. In fact this constitutes an infringement of our copyright, and you will be hearing from our lawers. Unfortunately, due to our inflexible DIY policy here at IO, this will only be possible by going to law shool and doing a law degree, and becoming a lawer, and then sueing you myself DIY style. This takes six years of University followed by a harried internernship of two years, and I'll have to take a couple of gap years along the way, and I'll first have to re-do year 12 to get a high enough score to get into a law school. Let's see, yes, carry the one, divide by two, and hey lento you'll be hearing from a crack legal team of me come January 1st 2024. The beauty of your songs and their mindboggling artistic merit will not, I warn you, be taken into account by the court, and you will not be permitted any musical numbers during the trial to sway the jury's favour. yours sinisterly, DaveR.
p.s. Of course it could just be that my sublimal advertising campaign is actually working...
Hello Angie - my cousin won a comp. thru JJJ years ago to have Frente play his backyard - in Darwin. I was the pimply teenager who was gushing all afternoon & talking your ear off! :) Loving your new stuff.
Will be coming to your Toff gig. :) By the way - you seemed to have posted your last comment/promo on my page about 5 times over the space of an hour! Looking forward to the new songs live. Perri
