Already a big star in Oceania, where she went multi-platinum in New Zealand and gained a huge fan base in Australia, the highly talented Brooke Fraser is now set to bring her heartfelt music across the ocean, in North America. Her latest critically acclaimed album, “Albertine,” was highly influenced by her travels around the world, in Africa, Europe and Asia, as her music incorporates a very wide array of styles and motives, fact most evident in her lyrics. The album Albertine is actually named for a Rwandan orphan with whom Brooke established a close friendship with on her travels, as Albertine encompasses her passion for justice, authenticity, and faith as well as Brooke’s blossoming love affair with Africa.
