Human Nature

Human Nature
Human Nature released its first album Telling Everybody on December 2, 1996 and it went on to achieve triple-platinum status. The lead single from the album was "Got It Goin On" with "Telling Everybody", "Wishes", "Don't Say Goodbye", "Whisper Your Name", and "People Get Ready" also released as singles.

With the realisation that they were perhaps outgrowing their original teen market, for their fifth studio album Human Nature decided to pay tribute to the music that influenced them from the very beginning, and released an album of Motown covers- Reach Out: The Motown Record- on 6 November 2005. It peaked at number one on the Australian charts and has reached 5 times platinum.

They toured extensively around Australia in 2006 on The Motown Show tour and members Phil Burton and Toby Allen both starred in reality TV shows during 2005/06: Phil in the Nine Network's Celebrity Overhaul 2 and Toby on Channel 7's Dancing With The Stars, plus both Phil and Toby on Channel 10's Australia's Brainiest Musician in March 2006 (Phil came in first, and Toby came in second).

In October 2006, Human Nature won their first ARIA - highest selling album - after a staggering15 nominations. Following this the bands sixth studio album Dancing In The Street: The Songs Of Motown II was released and debuted at number one, with 14 Motown cover songs.

They toured Australia for the Motown Tour 2005/06 and the Encore Motown Tour 2006, and again in mid-2007 with the Dancing In The Street Arena Tour 2007. November, 2007 saw Human Nature hit No.2 on the ARIA Albums Chart with Get Ready, the 3rd Motown-themed album, which this time featured appearances by several original Motown singing legends such as Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, Mary Wilson of The Supremes and The Temptations. All three albums have now sold close to a million copies in Australia. Human Nature's total album sales in Australia number almost two million.

Human Nature: A Symphony Of Hits, is a collection of Human Nature classics performed to a symphonic orchestral arrangement. Recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, A Symphony Of Hits heralds a new chapter in the already successful career of Human Nature.
