Winner New Zealand Music Awards 2003: Best Solo Artist Best Female Vocalist Highest Selling New Zealand Album

'Beautiful Collision' is the long awaited follow up album from Bic Runga.

Bic's debut album 'Drive' immediately established her as a star - winning a swag of 'Tui' Awards including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Vocal Performance and Best Songwriter and selling an unprecedented 7 x Platinum copies, making her the biggest selling local artist in New Zealand history.

Bic took a well earned break after 'Drive' before starting work on 'Beautiful Collision' in 1999.

In her own words, "I worked harder than I can describe on this album. Time was not an issue. I worked with 12 different engineers ... in 8 different studios in 5 different cities".

Bic self-produced 'Beautiful Collision' and utilised the skills of many engineers and musicians including Dave Dobbyn, Neil Finn, Joey Waronker (REM drummer) and Sebastian Steinberg (bass player Soul Coughing).

The album was mixed in New York by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, New Radicals) and the first single is "Get Some Sleep".

The wait has been well worth it - this aural collision is beautiful indeed!!

MUSICIANS: 'Get Some Sleep': Dave Dobbyn (guitars), Milan and Tim from Pluto (background vocals). Neil Finn (background vocals on 'The Be All and End All') Joey Waronker (drummer for R.E.M) Sebastian Steinburg (bass) Andrew Morton (aka Sub Mariner) - programming on 2 tracks, synth and keyboards on another.
