'' The Sound Of White '' was produced in the U.S. by John Porter with Audio Engineer Jay Newland, noted for his work with Jazz Singer-songwriter , Norah Jones . Throughout 2004 , Missy had been touring as a support act with Pete Murray and The John Butler Trio , including solo performances at the Hordern Pavilion, The Clarendon, and the Enmore Theatre. With the release of '' The Sound Of White '', Missy begun another national tour, her first as the headliner. In 2004 Missy was nominated in four categories at the ARIA Awards. These included best female artist and single of the year. At the awards ceremony on the 17th of October Missy received the award for "Best Pop Release". Following the Boxing Day Tsunami , Missy Higgins appeared at the Wave Aid fundraising concert in Sydney , to raise funds for aid organisations working in disaster affected areas. In 2005, Missy was nominated for a further seven ARIA Awards, taking out the awards for ''Album of the Year'' (for '' The Sound Of White ''), ''Best Female Artist'', ''Best Pop Release'' (for '' The Sound Of White ''), ''Breakthrough Artist --- Album'' (for '' The Sound Of White '') and ''Highest Selling Album'' (again, for '' The Sound Of White ''). Her music has polarised Australians. Her single '' Ten Days '' peaked at number 12 on the ARIA charts. Although Missy Higgins has many admirers; many people such as music critic Daniel Forde, has said her music is bland and underproduced. Her voice has been criticised for its folky, obnoxious " Strine ". Barry Bissell , a popular Australian DJ, has hailed her as a true Singer Songwriter due to her ability to pen heart-wrenchingly earnest Lyrics . She released her third single, " The Special Two ", to both critical and commercial acclaim. It became an instant hit on radio and in the charts debuting and peaking at #2 on the ARIA chart. She continued touring in mid 2005 and released her fourth single, " The Sound Of White ", in August of 2005. In late 05, she teamed up with Ben Lee for a national tour. DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums 1.
