Human Nature [Self Titled]
Andrew: Here we go again. Awesome! The energy and passion to make this album came from a confidence to really enjoy being who we are and what we've become over the last 11 years - Human Nature. To the love of my life and soul mate Heather, thankyou for all your love and support even when at times I don't desrve it. Without you on this ride, the highs would never be as high and the lows unbearable. Mike my brother and best friend - it's amazing how much of our lives we share together but I know thats what makes us so much stronger and more special. I'm so proud of what we've created on this album. Toby and Phil - not a day passes when I'm not amazed that we're still together and still enjoying it all. We are the best team and this time lets show everyone why! To David, thanks for putting so much of yourself into Human Nature. We've really made this together and the energy feels so fresh. I know what we both want so badly and lets hope we get there so we can relax and celebrate as mates. Yoon, thanks for coming into your own on this one. You're always fun to be and work with and I hope we look sexier than you could have ever dreamed. Mum, Dad, Margie and Nan, I love you and hope I always make you proud. Denis Handlin and everyone at Sony Music Australia - thanks for keeping the faith, and this time we'll show the world what you saw in us the first time you heard "People Get Ready".
