Christine White – Deep Throat Kissing
Recorded live at Radio New Zealand, Auckland, 17th May 2000 – some source noise
Christine White – Michelangelo
From Pure White : Independent [Buy Here]

New Zealand singer-songwriter Christine White has been rattling around the local scene here in Auckland since the early 1990s and the not-quite-famous Christine White Band.

Tonight (Friday, 18th March) she’s launching her second solo album Pirouette at the Odeon Lounge in Mount Eden (that’s just a short walk from my place). And yes, I’m in the band for the evening.

I’m lucky to count Christine among my most intelligent musical colleagues and friends, and some of our adventures together include writing horn arrangements for a live Radio New Zealand date, as well as a mission to Wellington to play a midwinter duo gig in a freezing Bluenote Cafe…

Christine’s songs often set themselves lyrically around a single metaphor explored in depth, with Deep Throat Kissing and Michelangelo being good examples of her work. If you find these interesting, more songs from the new album Pirouette can be heard for free (RealAudio) on her website, where both Pirouette and the 1999 solo acoustic disc Pure White are for sale.
