Both Sides Now is the fourth studio album by Australian singer Marina Prior. It is her first studio album since Somewhere – The Songs of Sondheim and Bernstein in 1994. She says the main reason for taking so long since her last album was that she was simply busy. “The thing is because I work in theatre it is all encompassing and all consuming. You do eight shows a week and for quite a few years I went from show to show to show. I wasn’t in a position to do an album. I feel like now the time is right”.[1]
Both Sides Now was inspired by the singer’s years as a young artist busking around Melbourne.[2] Prior said; “This is the music I grew up on, and the songs that made me who I am. I’ve loved every moment of creating Both Sides Now. I hope you can sense that, and enjoy these songs with me. This is an album that I’ve been wanting to make for years...Finally, here it is, and I believe it has arrived at exactly the right time.” [3]
The album peaked at number 42 in September 2012.
