Jessica Mauboy’s new album ‘The Secret Daughter’ is available today.
Accompanying The Secret Daughter television series is an exhilarating new album featuring some impressive and dynamic covers of familiar songs, alongside a handful of brand new original recordings, all of which encapsulate the storyline to good effect.
“Originally, since the series is about a singer, it was just going to be an album which featured some well-known cover songs. Whilst I was getting ready for the role, and over the time I was working on my method-acting training I started to think about the song “Risk It”, produced by the guys from DNA Songs, which I had recorded earlier in the year. The lyrics of the song were parallel to the story, which we hadn’t even started to film yet, and it just seemed like a natural fit. I brought it up in one of the music-production meetings and everyone just loved it. So even though it wasn’t written specifically for the series, it tells the story of Billie Carter and what she goes through, and so it was a perfect match and a great way to launch the album and TV series.”
October fifth was an emotional day for Jess, after receiving her fifth ARIA nomination for Best Female Artist the soul-R&B singer became teary speaking to The Daily Telegraph and reflected on just “how crazy this is”.
She had fans to thank for her nomination, touched by their support claiming “I haven’t been out there singing for ages but people still have me in their hearts, they are still listening”.
Jess represents the face of a fresh Australian pop that is starting to gain international recognition. The world is listening more closely to Australian music than ever before, and we’re proud that Jess is out there to represent us!
