At only 19, Australian singer-songwriter Lisa Mitchell has served up Wonder, a folk-pop gem of a debut album that completely belies her youth.
Inviting comparisons to fellow Aussie Lenka, as well as Icelandic songstress Emiliana Torrini, Mitchell mines the quirkier side of pop music on Wonder, creating whimsical compositions hung from the catchiest of hooks.
Given the authenticity of the songs and her unassuming persona, the fact that Mitchell was a finalist on Australian Idol at the age of 16 stands out far more as an aberration than a cause for suspicion.
