Earnest, emotional, and intimate, Higgins's music is folky and poppy at once, with most of her songs centering on her acoustic guitar, winding melodies, and confessional lyrics. There's a little bit of Ani Difranco in Higgins's tough-girl verbal skill in the tune "100 Round the Bends," but the artist can also play the jazzy chanteuse on lovely, laid-back numbers such as "The Wrong Girl." The diverse palette works wonders paired with Higgins's top-notch tunesmithery.

On a Clear Night is the follow up to the hugely successful The Sound of White by Australian singer songwriter Missy Higgins. Following the massive success of her first album, Missy Higgins was always going to be hard pressed to deliver an album of the same quality as her first. Although On a Clear Night contains many heartfelt and well constructed tracks, the overall cohesion and quality does not compare to The Sound of White. For diehard fans the album will offer much, but those starting off, the best place to start is with The Sound of White.
