Amazing (Marcia Hines album)

Amazing is the fourteenth studio album released by Australian musician Marcia Hines, released in April 2014. The album featured a duet with Russell Crowe. It debuted and peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

It is her first album of original songs in two decades, with Hines crediting a chance meeting with Joni Mitchell in Los Angeles for this: "She played me her playlist of all the songs she would really dig if she was stranded on a desert island and told me I had to get mine together. I told her my ideas about what I wanted to do next and she told me to follow them."

Hines returned to the R&B sound that saw her reach No. 2 on the Australian charts in 1977 with her single "You".

A deluxe version of the album was released in April 2018, featuring six of Hines' biggest hits.
