Bic Runga's albums, Drive (1996) and Beautiful Collision (2002), have sold seven- and eleven-times platinum respectively in New Zealand, the latter spawning the single 'Get Some Sleep', a top ten hit in Japan and Ireland that also broke into the UK top 40. Beautiful Collision featured at no.32 in Mojo magazine's list of the best albums of 2002 and no.34 in Uncut's annual critics poll for that year.
Bic's ubiquity in New Zealand music belies her relative youth. Three albums into a career that her numerous admirers trust will run for many years to come, she demonstrates the artistic value in trying new ways to bring her songs out into the open and letting them soar on new wings. Bic will tell you that the creation of her third album Birds was a magical experience for her - and you can hear that magic in the songs. Birds is simply her finest musical statement yet.
Please keep an eye out for this Yamaha TRB5 Lefty bass stolen from the back of my car last week in auckland. This is possibly the only such amber lefty model in NZ so please report to the police if u see it! Cheers, panduka. 021 472 631
