If you have been keeping your eye on the Australian music scene recently, you may have come across a new indie songbird taking flight: Owl Eyes.

It was around this time last year when I first heard of her, reading a short article about her in a street publication up in Sydney. Since this time, I have watched Brooke Addamo, or stage name Owl Eyes, steadily and slowly rise into a promising artist.

Her dreamy voice first caught attention when she made it to the television appearances of the sixth season of Australian Idol. Much like her fellows in the alternative stream, Lisa Mitchell and Matt Corby, who have also competed in Australian Idol she did not win. This did not destroy her chance of success in the least, as she rebooted her career with her own brand of charming indie electro pop. In addition to this, she leant her sweeping voice to rapper Illy’s song, It Can Wait, giving her darling voice coverage on local airwaves.
