"Coma" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Max Sharam. In 1992, she performed the song on Australian talent show New Faces, which led to an extended play album being released in October 1994[1] and as the lead single from her debut studio album A Million Year Girl (1995). The song peaked at number 14 in Australia. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1995, the song was nominated for three awards: ARIA Award for Single for the Year, Song for the Year and Breakthrough Artist – Single.[2]

Reception

Anthony Horan said "A five track EP, it's a remarkable piece of work that sounds quite unlike anything else you'll hear this year. While the title track, courtesy of a very radio-friendly mix, has just been added to the playlists of chart-fodder radio stations after a large amount of play on Triple J, there's a lot more to Max than meets the eye. The EP's brief journey takes in everything from twisted jazz-pop to searing acoustic emotion to very, very strange and rather wonderful operatic experimentation."[3]
