Hey, did anyone notice that Missy Higgins quit music for a few years? Sneaky little pianist. She’s been living in a share house, apparently, throwing off her identity as Australia’s most popular songstress in pursuit of greater meaning and happiness. It didn’t work out though, so she’s back to singing. Unashamed Desire is a big old plonker of a piano tune with some dark muttering in the verse and arch wailing in the chorus. It also has cowbells. Nice, big sound.
