In love with Brooke

“In early 28, I fell in love with New Zealand indie-pop-rock sensation Brooke Fraser’s second album, Albertine,” Speakers in Code blogger Jason Gonulsen writes. “I played it everywhere — in my house, in my car, even outside while I fertilised my lawn. Fraser is back in 21 with Flags, a strong collection of songs that has little, if any, weak moments. It’s also been a hit, debuting at No. 59 on the Billboard Top 2 Charts. Her first album, What To Do With Daylight, which featured the gorgeous ballads Arithmetic and Scarlet, went eight times platinum, selling more than 12, copies.” Fraser, 26, was born in Wellington. She has been a World Vision Artist Associate since 21.
