Biography-by Jason Ankeny & Joslyn Layne A superstar in her native New Zealand while still in her teens, singer/songwriter Bic Runga was born in Christchurch in 1976; the product of a musical family — her mother was a Malaysian nightclub performer during the 1960s — she began playing the drums at the age of 11, and within a few years was also singing with local jazz groups. Upon learning guitar and keyboards, Runga began composing her first songs, and in 1994 she relocated to Auckland to pursue a professional music career. In 1995, aged 19, she made her Sony label debut with the single "Drive," which rocketed into the Top Ten on the New Zealand pop charts and garnered her the prestigious 1996 Silver Scroll award, an honor given for excellence in songwriting. After touring in support of Neil and Tim Finn, Runga issued a follow-up single, "Bursting Through," followed in 1997 by the Top Ten smash "Sway." Her self-produced debut LP Drive appeared later that same year and garnered New Zealand's top music awards. In the late '90s, Bic Runga spent some time based in New York City, where she began writing songs for her follow-up album. She continued to work on new songs after returning to New Zealand, and embarked on a NZ tour with Tim Finn and Dave Dobbyn in August and September 2000, resulting in the 2001 release Together in Concert: Live. Runga's Beautiful Collision hit stores in 2002; it was released internationally, and went 4x platinum in New Zealand, inspiring a re-release with a bonus disc the following year. 2003 also saw Runga found the record label Nu Shoo before kicking off another tour.

Review-(By a consumer in Amazon.com)No matter what Bic Runga records from here onward, she'll probably always be associated with SWAY, one of those rare, perfect pop music moments--not bad results considering it came from her very first album (which is recommended). Yet Bic avoids sophomore jinx on BEAUTIFUL COLLISION with plenty of room to spare. Not to take anything away from her last album, but she has made great strides towards a more unified musical approach. Bic's growth as a songwriter shows up in virtually all of the songs here. The tunes grab you on the first listen, and don't let go with repeat hearings. A crucial factor in getting her songs across is Bic's flexible voice...very attractive and perfect for the quality lyrics. The music is more consistently reflective than before, favoring acoustic guitars rather than the occasionally amped-up tunes on her last album. BEAUTIFUL COLLISION certainly deserves the attention of anyone looking to see the singer/songwriter tradition pushed forward.
