‘The Australian’ Show Review
We were lucky to have a great review of the album launch show appear nationally in The Australian last Friday 4th December, written by Eric Myers. An excerpt below . . .
The origins of her compositions can be mysterious. On the face of it, You’re Doing So Well sounds like a rather sad tale of lost love. At this performance Madden revealed that it was inspired in fact by returning home after a long absence to find that her orchid had flourished while she was away. Believe this if you will.
In a repertoire of excellent songs two stood out: Side By Side (described by the composer as a song about hope) and The One Who Walks Me Home, (I won’t attempt to paraphrase the poetic lyrics of this tune). To hear both sung so beautifully by Madden towards the end of the performance was a profoundly moving experience. Only a vastly talented songwriter produces such works.
