Christine Anu: Stylin' Up

One of the most influential albums ever released in Australian Music History, Christine Anu celebrates 20 Years since Stylin Up made its mark on Australian Music.

2015 will see Christine Anu celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her ARIA Award winning album, Stylin Up with a National tour.

In a 2 hour show, Christine will perform the songs that drew in fans from around the globe and cemented her place as an iconic Australian performer. Audiences will be entertained with Christines hit songs Island Home, Party, Monkey and the Turtle, and Wanem Time as well as the full repertoire of songs from the album that started it all! Christine will also surprise audiences with other favourite tunes from her illustrious and successful career as one of Australias most well-known, loved and respected Indigenous artists.

It is no surprise that Stylin Up, released by Mushroom Music in 1995, set Australian music lovers alive. At the time it was one of the most influential albums ever released by an Indigenous artist, featuring a unique blend of Christines culturally diverse musical styles with David Bridies lush strings and cinematic atmospheres.

Stylin Up was so successful that Christine played all over Australia, with her performance at the Metro in Sydney being recorded for a live CD. The ABC also recorded the show to be part of a documentary on Christines career and heritage (Salt Water Soul); this documentary aired nationally on ABC TV. Not only did Stylin Up cement Christines place as a major player in the Australian Music Industry, but it paved the way for many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contemporaries. Christine is enthralled about the opportunity to revisit Stylin Up in a national tour and to reconnect with the fans who have made it all happen.
