Not every artist is out there to make ground-breaking music, and not every artist is capable of doing so. Sophie Koh takes a leaf from the New Buffalo book, and All Shook Up is not entirely dissimilar from Sally Seltmann’s Somewhere, Anywhere: it’s a quiet, subtle achievement by a songwriter who starts with the basics and builds from there. The songs are simple; the production – when Koh and co. tinker with the basic, acoustic skeleton of each song – is where All Shook Up succeeds beyond all expectations.

Sophie Koh is a singer and songwriter based in Australia. Born in 1979, she grew up in New Zealand and in Singapore. Based in Melbourne, she headed north to Darwin after finishing university, where she won Triple J’s Unearthed contest in 2003. Returning to Melbourne, she launched her debut album “All The Pretty Boys” in 2005. Sophie is regularly asked to play high profile events in Melbourne and around Australia. She performed the national anthem live from Caulfield Raceway (Super Saturday) in March 2007. It was broadcast live on Channel 7, and syndicated on many other networks.
