Bic Runga's uniquely phrased pop songs and hauntingly beautiful melodies have already earned her a special place in the pantheon of New Zealand song. Her third album Birds was released in New Zealand on 28 November 2005, and has had subsequent releases in Australia and the UK. Since emerging at 19 years old with her debut single 'Drive' a decade ago, Bic has travelled a remarkable musical journey, taking her to the top of charts at home and around the world at the same time as winning enormous critical acclaim for her winsome, transfixing tunes. Her 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.
