Nine Lime Avenue is a studio album by Australian recording artists, Kate Ceberano. The album consisting entirely of cover versions. The album was a commercial success and was certified gold in Australia.^[1]

Background

Commencing in February 2007, Ceberano competed in series 6 of Dancing with the Stars Australia, (which Ceberano would go on to win). The album was recorded whilst she was competing in this series, in just three weeks ^[2]

The record is a homage to her favourite songs of the 80's. Every song has been reinvented to mould the Kate Ceberano style.^[3] Ceberano said of the album, "I grew up on Lime Avenue and spent all my teenage years through the 80's listening to different music and firing up my lust for a career in music. I'm so nostalgic about that period of my life and in many ways wished we still had that house… this album I guess is a collection of different songs connected to different memories from that time"^[4]
