Things looking up for Rae

Country singer Jasmine Rae always dreamt of having her debut album out before she celebrated her 21st birthday.

Not only has the 20-year-old from Melbourne achieved that, but Look It Up entered the country charts this week at number five.

Not bad for a girl who wrote her first country song last year.

“It’s pretty cool,” Rae said.

“It’s something I’ve been wanting for a really long time. It’s been a dream of mine to have it out before my 21st birthday, and my 21st is next month.

“It was ticking down, and I was like: ‘oh no!’.”

With that achievement in the bag, Rae is setting her sights high: “Now I’m just going to conquer the world, that’s my next goal”.

Since winning the 2008 Telstra Road To Tamworth in January, Rae’s career has blossomed.

In May, she released her debut single to radio, the self-penned hit Country Singer.

In June, she performed at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, which is attended by more than 200,000 country music fans.

In July, she topped that by singing the Australian national anthem at the third State of Origin game in Sydney, in front of a television audience of nearly two million people.

Rae says she is loving every minute of it.

“This is my first year not studying and I’m having a real ball,” she said.

Country music has always been her first love, after growing up watching the Country Music Channel and being inspired by Dolly Parton, The Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain and Kasey Chambers.

She said it was the arresting lyrics of those songs that first caught her ear.

“I think it’s the stories that are told within the songs, and the background feel to the music, and also the really clever lyrics,” Rae said.

“It’s such a diverse genre that I definitely wanted to be a part of it, and put my own stamp on it as well.”

While Rae said she had also been influenced by rock, pop and blues music, she was never tempted to abandon her country roots for a sound with more mainstream appeal.

“To get mainstream airplay (for country songs) is a little bit more difficult, but definitely not impossible because I plan to have my music heard by a lot of people,” she said.

“I feel like the sky’s the limit, and it doesn’t matter what genre you come from, it’s all music and if it’s good people should enjoy it.”

Chinese astronauts return in triumph

BEIJING: Three Chinese astronauts returned to Earth yesterday to a heroes’ welcome after taking the country’s first space walk in a mission that captivated the nation.

Commander Zhai Zhigang etched his name in China’s history books with a 15-minute walk in space, another milestone in the country’s transformation into a global power.

The descent capsule of the Shenzhou VII spacecraft was seen drifting down onto a landing in Inner Mongolia in footage shown live by the state television broadcaster, CCTV.

The three returned to Earth a day after Mr Zhai made China just the third country to conduct a space walk, after the United States and the former Soviet Union four decades ago.

Mr Zhai emerged from the module holding the Chinese flag – just days before the 50th anniversary of the US space agency NASA on Wednesday, which is also China’s National Day.

“I feel well,” he said, from outside the Shenzhou VII.

All three men were in good health, China’s official Xinhua news agency said.

The astronauts’ apparently flawless return brings a successful conclusion to a mission that has been hailed in China as a landmark in the country’s quest to become a space power.

Under China’s fledgling space program, two more unmanned craft will be launched by 2010 while another manned spaceship with a crew of three will start work on building a lab or space station, according to state media.

In a televised chat with Mr Zhai live from mission control, China’s President, Hu Jintao, praised the 41-year-old commander. “Your space walk was a complete success. It’s a major breakthrough in the development of our manned space program,” he said.

“The motherland and the people thank you.”
