    I get chills each time I hear Michael sing this song. Perfection. I’ve seen him perform with Icehouse, and it’s an even better experience live. He takes Icehouse’s Touch The Fire to a whole new level. His voice rivals Jeff Buckley in pureness.

    This is Iva Davies' band Icehouse festuring Michael on one of Iva's brilliant songs. Iva is the musical & composing genius behind Icehouse, the band that was the face of New Wave in Australia in the 80s. Iva and his hugely talented current members of Icehouse are still doing sellout shows to huge audiences all around the country today. Michael has been part of Icehouse since 2011, bringing that astonishing voice & musicianship to the band, as well as doing his own music. Enjoy!

    I was introduced to Icehouse back in 1987/88 when I went to New Zealand, loved the music, I came back home and they released Electric Blue and Crazy in the UK charts and then they disappeared from the UK scene, I bought their Man of Colours album which I listened to still to this day, favourite song is not a single hit and is called Heartbreak Kid, Iva davies the lead singer of Icehouse made just amazing lyrics to his songs. Fantastic group and having Michael Paynter with them just adds something special.

      he did a song with the veronica’s called ‘love the fall’ back in the mid 2000’s and it charted which is how i heard it (and LOVED it) - but he never got the success he deserved. he’s bloody excellent, i love seeing icehouse knowing he’ll be singing too.

    Ok I will try to give you some background on Michael. Michael was born in Melbourne and started learning piano at 7 He then picked up guitar and drums and was proficient with them by 15. He is a singer songwriter that after being dropped by his record label contested in season 2 of the Voice Australia But that was the season that he came up against Harrison Craig (worth a look for sure). This clip is from the 2014 Icehouse Tour where Michael played Keyboard and Guitar as well as background vocals. Im not sure how it came about but he was invited to pick a song from there massive back catalogue to sing and this is the result. (And yes, he is one of the backup singers but ofc too good to not get centre stage for this performance)

    I have seen Michael play many many times , his original songs are stunning. He has the voice of an angel.
    He has taken on more of a production role these days as one half of Msquared productions & also plays in Icehouse & Jimmy Barnes band.
    I really wish he still played his own shows, I miss going to hear him play.

    I'll fill you in...
    Man of Colours is an ICEHOUSE song, written in 1987 by Iva Davies - long before Michael Paynter joined the band in 2011.
    When Michael became the keyboardist/backing vocals for ICEHOUSE, Iva Davies asked which song from the ICEHOUSE catalogue Michael would like to 'Paynter-ise' as a feature song - Man of Colours was chosen. This gave Iva Davies the opportunity to feature as the oboe soloist, and to sing the final verse.
    Please correct your description to read ICEHOUSE featuring Michael Paynter. 😊
    Michael also performs lead vocals on another ICEHOUSE song, Touch The Fire.
    When you get the chance watch the Man of Colours film clip from 1987...

It makes listening all the more enjoyable as you can relax and just take it all in, and that tone....ahhhh! The description of this video is probably not the best as it should read "Icehouse ft. Michael Paynter" given it's an Icehouse song and the band have existed since the 80s with Michael coming on board in 2011. I'll be sure to request him again, but will choose something from his own catalogue. Thanks again.

    Challenge yourself, can you resist the charm of her voice?
    One of the last comments about Diana's voice:
    Pffff.... her voice is really very special, unclassifiable, atypical, out of the ordinary... 💖
    1) super unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones);
    2) the most complex vocal techniques, a bewitching voice;
    3) Diana sings in 6 languages : English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Arabic and any musical genre;
    4) incredible charisma, artistry and living of any song;
    5) a range of 4 octaves, which at the age of 20 is far from the limit and will continue to grow;
    6) a large army of fans around the world;
    7) an independent artist, without producers and labels, only with the support of fans and reactors like you;
    8) more than 16 thousand reactions. Some reactions have 3.7 million views.
