Wicked Voice, subtitled Songs, arias and humorous refrains, is a 2001 album by David Chesworth. The album is a collection of tracks from his earlier works Insatiable, Sabat Jesus, Call of the Wild, Lacuna and The Two Executioners. [1] It was nominated for the ARIA Music Award for Best Original Show/Cast Album in 2001. [2] [3]

The Australian's Deborah Jones says "As well as a gift for melody, Chesworth shows a delight in regular, pulsating rhythms and intriguing textures involving a mix of voice, instruments, real-life sounds and synthesisers." [4] Roger Covell in The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "Not everything in this piece is equally arresting, but it is rarely less than interesting. Chesworth in general persuades a listener that his musical choices represent a series of genuine personal impulses, mixing pop, historical and concert-hall styles and resources, rather than any particular desk-bound credo." [5]
