about the album and song albertine
"The story behind the song is often talked about in interviews (mostly due to it being the title track of her second album), and Fraser wrote at length about the song in the album liner notes of her Albertine album. The song is about an orphan that Fraser met while travelling in Rwanda for the first time in June 2005. Her guide took her to a village school in Kabuga district, and showed her a girl that the guide had personally saved her life. The girl, named Albertine, is described as tall and beautiful by Fraser. Her guide then requested that Fraser write a song about the girl and name it after her. Fraser then wrote the song after returning to Australia after the trip." Wikipedia
she wrote the entire album herself, she's from new zealand based in australia.
