For those not in the know, the overture is that tune at the start of a musical, featuring all the little excerpts of melodies from all the songs in the show – all woven into one flowing drama of its own. The scene is set, boy met, conflict engaged, tension built, hope all but lost and then in a final twist, the hero emerges and resolution unfurls itself on a world still obscured by curtains, and drowned out by the murmurs of ushers. It sets the scene by tempting you with all the drama and intrigue that the full story will bring, and then snatches it away before your coat is even checked.

Perhaps, that’s why Sarah Blasko has chosen “The Overture & the Underscore” as the title of her very first album: an encapsulation of the many intertwining narratives and textures her musical life promises, and a defining moment in its progression so far. Sarah started singing in the pews of a church, flanked on one side by her tone-deaf mother, and on the other by an eighty-year-old soprano unafraid to flaunt her vocal chops: “Be the umption in my gumption keep me burning, be the umption in my gumption I pray. Be the umption in my gumption, help me function, function, function, help me function to the break of day!” Perhaps it was amongst these congregations that the influence of music seeped into her subconscious. For Sarah Blasko was conceived, the youngest missionary in the French speaking paradise of Reunion Island, before her Father, who courageously led the crusade, brought her home to greener pastors. Blasko developed a musical interest without really thinking about it too much. Like a lot of kids growing up in the 80’s, she would spend hours in front of the T.V. Watching the music videos of artists like Prince, David Bowie & Eurythmics.

Her mum’s Olivia Newtown-John cassette was also a prized a possession, a taste reflected now only in her choice of karaoke numbers. In contrast, her father, an English/History Master, introduced her to the likes of Rachmaninov, Schubert, Bach and some of the less acclaimed works of Paul McCartney. In her High School years, Blasko hid a love for music as one who leads a double life, carrying with her the impression that to make music one had to know a set of rules no more alluring than those that govern geometry – which she also failed. In Year Eight, she was singled out for misbehaviour and forced to conduct her class through a piece of music. Blasko – with no after-school violin lessons to fall back on – had no idea what she was doing, and in a moment that could have sealed fate, the following words were uttered to her by her music teacher: “Young lady, you do not have a musical bone in your body” Perhaps it was then that Blasko, unwittingly, set out to prove her wrong.

Intervention At 16, she started a band with her sister, and, as other girls were sneaking out at night to indulge in the sins of drinking and the company of boys, they began sneaking out to revel in the devilish sounds of live jazz and blues. One sacrilegious intervention, perhaps, in the eyes of her former fellow parishioners, and Sarah’s songbook no longer bore just hymns. And yet, it would not be the only intervention Blasko would know.

Once, members of a band she fronted decided that they should all thrash out their gladiatorial disagreements in the coliseum of group therapy. Not only did it drain the entire band bank account, it also informed Sarah of what so many submit to therapy only to learn – that it is indeed time to go solo. So she took her guitar and headed home. Home was exactly where she set to work on her first EP “Prelusive”. A six track treasure of beats, guitars and vocals all homespun on a yarn that overlooked a suburban primary school. It was enough to get her signed to fresh-faced record label Dew Process, who envisaged big things for Sarah. But Sarah was miles ahead.
