The Overture & the Underscore is the debut studio album released by Australian singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko in October 2004.

Blasko said "Essentially I wanted there to be something really classic about the album. The kind of debut albums I like are those that don't try and do too much too soon, that point towards a number of possible directions, and that give the songs some room to move. It was really important to me that my voice and the songs had some character and that there was an intimacy to them. We tried to achieve this by using little or no effect on the voice and not going too far with overdubs." [1]
