Child in Reverse is the fifth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke. The album was announced on 6 August 2020 and released on 30 October 2020.
Child in Reverse is Miller-Heidke’s first studio album in six years, following on from 2014’s O Vertigo!. It has been described by her team as “her most pop album yet”.
The album was recorded in Melbourne, produced by Evan Klar and features 11 songs about love and fear, memory and empathy, rage and redemption. Miller-Heidke said “What I love about Evan’s style is his freshness, a feeling of spontaneity. Musically the whole album came together really smoothly. I think that comes across when you listen to it.”
Despite her achievements in opera, musical theatre and screen production in recent years, Miller-Heidke said she keeps “..getting drawn back to pop music”. Miller-Heidke said “The minimalism, the economy… I find that incredibly rewarding and challenging. It’s like a quest to nail the perfect pop song. When it can be done, for me, as a listener, it’s my favourite music.”
