Pete Murray - SEE THE SUN It's all there in the voice, rich and inviting, a sound that can wrap around you like a blanket and keep you warm even through the darkest night. It's a voice that lifts people up. But even Pete was surprised how many people it connected with when his 2003 debut album 'Feeler' went to number 1 on the charts and sold over 450,000 copies: six-times platinum. Now the Muz is back with his second album, 'See The Sun', that delivers on all the promise of 'Feeler' and more; 12 songs that range from soul-baring intensity to joyous rock'n'roll celebration. And, just as the title implies, it's an album that's perfectly suited for sunshine and summer. The album was recorded with The Stonemasons, who have spent the last two years with Pete spreading the word about 'Feeler' and working with him during the rigourous writing sessions which produced the core of the songs which grace 'See The Sun'. Heart-melting first single 'Better Days' (which debuted at the top of the ARIA charts) and classic-in-waiting 'Opportunity' capture the album's theme of hope and optimism, anthems that wrap themselves deep inside the cortex, destined to be sung by a chorus of thousands at Pete Murray shows this summer. But the same might be said of almost every song on 'See The Sun', recorded in Melbourne this year and co-produced by Murray and Eric Sarafin (Ben Harper, Michael Franti). "I wanted this album to have more contrast, for the rock stuff to capture the groove that's our signature on stage, for the lyrics not to be as dark, the tone to be more up," Murray says. "I'm really proud of what we've done with See The Sun. It's been made with the right people, who love the kind of sounds that I do, who love my music and understand it. We can't wait to take the wraps off these songs and get out to play them."
