Nine Lime Avenue


Nine Lime Avenue is a studio album by Australian recording artist, Kate Ceberano. The album consists entirely of cover versions. The album was released in April 2007 and peaked at number 4 on the ARIA Charts.

Background

Commencing in February 2007, Ceberano competed in series 6 of Dancing with the Stars Australia,. The album was recorded whilst she was competing in this series, in just three weeks.
The record is a homage to her favourite songs of the 80's. Every song has been reinvented to mould the Kate Ceberano style.
Ceberano said of the album, "I grew up on Lime Avenue and spent all my teenage years through the 80's listening to different music and firing up my lust for a career in music. I'm so nostalgic about that period of my life and in many ways wished we still had that house… this album I guess is a collection of different songs connected to different memories from that time"
