BROOKE FRASER - New Zealand folk-pop artist

  


Something in the water


  The debut album  -What to Do with Daylight

Brooke Fraser released in 2004. What to Do with Daylight was the top New Zealand album for 2004 (according to RIANZ), and went seven times Platinum. The album title comes from the album's first track "Arithmetic", as heard in the line "Wondering what to do with daylight, Until I can make you mine". The song was released as the album's fourth single in New Zealand. All five singles from the album reached the top 20 NZ singles chart and achieved #1 airplay status. All tracks on the album were written by Fraser herself.

The second album -   Albertine  
In 2005, prior to writing and preparing her follow-up album, Fraser took a trip to Africa to immerse herself in Rwanda before visiting her sponsor children in Tanzania, as she is an advocate for child sponsorship. In this trip, she was so moved that she wrote the song Albertine about a young child (named Albertine), whom she met while in Rwanda. It was later decided to make this song the album's title track.

Albertine 
It was largely inspired by a Rwandan orphan, by the name of Albertine, whom Fraser met while there in 2005. Fraser went to Rwanda on behalf of World Vision in 2005, the first of many trips. While there, she met a girl named Albertine, who had become orphaned by the genocide of 1994. Fraser described Albertine as "tall and beautiful".Her guide, Joel, took her to a village school in Kabuga district, and showed her a girl whose life the guide had personally saved. On her return, she felt she was "in a position where I could share  message with other people that could be a great way to contribute in and of itself". "Albertine" tells the "tale of courage" of the two Rwandans in the 1990s.
The third album - Flags

Fraser cited her move to Los Angeles as a major inspiration, saying "I was really frustrated and felt like I needed to get away and be somewhere where I could completely focus...and just to try and get a little bit of head space. It was the best decision we ever made". She called Flags "a graduation".

Writers of tracks on Flags include Fraser, her husband Scott Ligertwood, and Switchfoot's Jon Foreman. The album was produced by Fraser herself, which she called "one of the scariest things I've ever done". According to Fraser, "Crows + Locusts" was inspired by a farming family, while "Ice on Her Lashes" is about death and grief. "Betty" is based on hiding things. The title track, "Flags", was brought about by cultural identity and injustice. 

Betty

Brooke Fraser has remained her stage name for her activity as a Sony BMG recording/touring artist. She continues to write songs for Hillsong Church, now as "Brooke Ligertwood". Among her notable congregational songs are "Desert song" and "Hosanna". Despite being a Christian, Fraser has made clear efforts to distance herself from the Contemporary Christian Music scene.
 Fraser also runs a blog from her website where she comments on everything from touring, to fashion and food.
