Introducing is a time-honoured album title for acts whose longevity seems predestined. Sure, Stan Walker's Platinum-selling '09 debut had a stash of soul classics and the flash of a hard-won Australian Idol victory at its back, but a solid work ethic and an undeniable voice of smoulder and falsetto have sustained a rapid-fire run of four more albums. The Melbourne-born Maori mined a more contemporary R&B feel on From the Inside Out and Let the Music Play, in which he stepped up as a writer of his own story. He opened for his confessed inspiration, Beyoncé, on tour in 2013, then tackled Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding on 2015's Truth & Soul.
