Toni Collette delivers a velvet gloved punch with her much anticipated debut album, which contains eleven self-penned tracks written over the last ten years. "Beautiful Awkward Pictures" charts Collette"s fluctuating emotions as she"s worked her way round the globe and reflects her growth as a person and an artist. Laying herself open in her usual honest and unaffected way, Collette"s lyrics are often poetic, intimate observations of life and the world around her and this makes for a heady, soul-stirring mix.
