Sara Storer is Worth Your Love, and worth her weight in gold

When Sara Storer released her single ‘Under Darwin Stars’ last year it was lyrically within the pantheon of her work – wonderful details that created a world and a story told from the heart – and musically moved things along, as did its successor, ‘Layers’.

I spoke with Storer for both releases and in the ‘Layers’ interview she mentioned that some people thought she didn’t ‘want it’ enough – didn’t want a music career as much as others did – because she had taken time to raise her four boys and, well, live life. That subject emerges in her song ‘Sing Her Heart Out’ from new album Worth Your Love, and in it Storer reaches straight out of the song and into your heart – as she always does, and as she does with each song on this album that is about the colour and darkness and joy of being alive.

There is no other artist in Australian music – in any country’s music – like Sara Storer, and while that can be said of other artists, there’s a certain magic to her songs which makes her special. Some of the clues to that are in her upbringing, which we speak about in this new interview. Mostly it’s just her and that creative flow that is so much a part of her life that she’s now an exhibiting painter. She is curious and thoughtful and always learning, always trying new things as an artist. That makes for a great experience for a listener – and for an interviewer, because there’s never a dull moment!
