57: Aussie Special Part 2: Sister2Sister, Leah Haywood and Joanne

Author: Right Back At Ya! March 17, 2022 Duration: 58:00
Following the fabulous introduction into 2000s Aussie pop divas Vanessa Amorosi and Nikki Webster's careers, this second part of our special celebrates ARIA Award-winning duo Sister2Sister, the talented singer-songwriter Leah Haywood, and vocal powerhouse Joanne.  Sister2Sister, made up of sisters Christine and Sharon Muscat, made a splash in Australia and the UK with their hits 'Sister' and 'What's A Girl To Do' in the early 2000s. They weren't just a pair of incredible vocalists but also super engaging live performers who can slay a Y2K popstar choreography! The sisters' success saw them score an ARIA Award and support Britney Spears and 5ive on tour outside Australia, and feature on the Bring It On soundtrack.  In the past decade or so, Aussie hit songwriter and producer Leah Haywood has been working behind the scenes in LA on some of our fave bops via Selena Gomez, BLACKPINK, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and more but we're taking it all the way back to her 2000s popstar debut "Leah", which spawned inescapable bops like 'We Think It's Love', 'Takin' Back What's Mine' and 'Summer of Love'. With Leah now thankfully back in the spotlight as an artist after two decades, releasing top-tier material under the pseudonym Haywood, it feels right to go back to her 2000s efforts and celebrate her journey.  The final artist on our two-part 2000s Aussie Pop special is Joanne, a real vocal powerhouse and long-lost Young Diva member, in our humble opinion. Big soul diva vocals with camp, Y2K disco-pop production and dance bangers - everything about Joanne's discography is a maximalist 'girls night out' experience packed with sass and handbags-on-the-floor moments, from the signature late 90s banger 'Jackie' through to 'So Damn Fine', 'I Don't Know' and 'Busted'.  Follow Right Back At Ya! https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/ https://twitter.com/rightbackpod https://www.facebook.com/rightbackpod Check out our Spotify playlists https://open.spotify.com/user/1c3ks5jdh2x4j7jdg1o0aglwg Follow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/ https://twitter.com/DR_JoelB Follow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/ https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
