Sarah Blasko's breakthrough songs

Sarah Blasko has a voice that never lets you go.

Her debut album The Overture & the Underscore was released 20 years ago, and she’s been a constant presence ever since. Always pushing the boundaries of her art and anchoring everything she does with that transcendent voice.

Two decades on from her debut, and 6 years since her last album, Sarah Blasko is back with new music.

It's the perfect excuse to revisit a wonderful conversation from 2018, when she’d pushed through a rough period of writer’s block to get her sixth album Depth of Field out into the world.

It was on the same day the album was released, that she came in to Take 5 with her breakthrough songs. Tunes that busted through a creative block and led her in new directions.

• PJ Harvey - 'To Bring You My Love'
• Björk - 'Venus As A Boy'
• Tori Amos - 'Pretty Good Year'
