Kiwi golden girl Bic Runga has a new album out November 14, and is also playing a couple of concert dates November 9 & 10, for those who can afford the plane fare. If you haven't heard her, you don't know what you've missed.

Bic Runga burst on the scene in 1997 with her self-produced seven times platinum
Drive album, and although she has released a fair amount of material over the years, she has never sacrificed quality for quantity. Currently,
the man from SongFacts has 18 of her compositions in
his database.
The new album is called
Belle, and can be previewed with three other tracks on iTunes: the new
Hello Hello - an uptempo number, and three that will all be familiar to her fans:
Drive,
Something Good and
Sway. To the seasoned ear of this Runga fan, the first two sound like new recordings. None of these are her best material; check out the poetic
Gravity, the mystical
Birds or the rock classic
Sorry to experience her at her best.
