Gabriella Cilmi, an Australian singer-songwriter, has released two studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), nine singles and seven music videos on record label Island. Cilmi has also made appearances on albums which were not recorded under her name.
Cilmi's music spans a range of musical genres including pop, rock and soul. Her debut single, "Sanctuary", was released in 2007 to digital download retailers only, with limited success. It did not appear on any national charts. Cilmi's second single "Sweet About Me" achieved worldwide chart success, reaching number-one in her native Australia,[1] as well as the top ten in several countries.[2] It has been said that Cilmi's further success following "Sweet About Me" was hindered because "most record buyers still only know her for one song."[3] Following the high sales of "Sweet About Me", she released her first studio album Lessons to Be Learned, which reached the top ten in Australia,[1] New Zealand[4] and countries across Europe.[5] Cilmi released four further singles from the album, including a re-release of "Sanctuary" and digital download-only single "Warm This Winter", which was released in the United Kingdom only after being used in a promotional campaign for Co-operative Food. Cilmi's second album, Ten was released in March 2010 and was preceded by single "On a Mission", which reached the top ten of the UK Singles Chart.[6] Cilmi also released two follow-up singles from the album titled "Hearts Don't Lie" and "Defender / Magic Carpet Ride", respectively.
