In her first new song in five years – “Unashamed Desire” – Missy Higgins defiantly sings “I’ve got nothing to hide”.  It’s a bold clarion call for where she’s at these days. But just a few years ago the acclaimed singer/songwriter was keeping one pretty big secret: “I quit”. Plenty of artists give lip service to packing it in but Missy actually walked the walk. What’s more, she did it without telling the public. There were no farewell tours, no press releases. Instead she just quietly gave the music biz types around her a ‘Don’t call me, I’ll call you’ chat and got on with living a new life. Jump cut to three years later, and her new album “The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle” tells the unvarnished story of that journey.  While her previous albums leant heavily on her personal relationships, this album delves deep into Missy’s relationship with making music. And as the tongue-firmly-in-cheek title implies, it’s been a tumultuous affair.
