Tea & Sympathy (20th Anniversary Edition)

Overview & Specifications

Originally released in 2005, Tea & Sympathy marked a turning point for Bernard Fanning. It was an opportunity to explore a more personal, introspective style of songwriting outside of Powderfinger.

Featuring songs like “Wish You Well,” which topped the triple j Hottest 100 in 2005, and fan favourites like “Songbird” and “Watch Over Me”, the album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, remained in the Top 50 for over a year, and was certified 5× Platinum. It won ARIA Awards for Album of the Year, Best Male Artist, and Best Cover Art. Bernard was also named APRA Songwriter of the Year.

To mark its 20th anniversary, a new edition brings together B-sides, unreleased material, acoustic versions, and reinterpretations by artists including The Paper Kites and Troy & Jem Cassar-Daley.
