Amazing is the fourteenth studio album released by Australian musician Marcia Hines, released in April 2014.[3] The album featured a duet with Russell Crowe. It debuted and peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
It is her first album of original songs in two decades, with Hines crediting a chance meeting with Joni Mitchell in Los Angeles for this: "She played me her playlist of all the songs she would really dig if she was stranded on a desert island and told me I had to get mine together. I told her my ideas about what I wanted to do next and she told me to follow them."[4]
Hines returned to the R&B sound that saw her reach No. 2 on the Australian charts in 1977 with her single "You".[5]
A deluxe version of the album was released in April 2018, featuring six of Hines' biggest hits.
Critical reception
The Daily Telegraph wrote that on the album Hines "brings sexy back",[11] while The Canberra Times called it "an uncompromising album, full of deep, heartfelt moments, where her royal Hines-ness shows a very intimate and tender side".[12]
