The year was 1990. Australia’s music scene was buzzing with the energy of a new decade, and Kate Ceberano was at the heart of it. That August, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress, author, and visual artist graced the cover of Rolling Stone Australia in a feature titled “Behind Bedroom Eyes: The Real Kate Ceberano.”
The cover, shot by Grant Matthews, wasn’t just another glamorous portrayal of a rising star – it was an intimate dive into the mind and spirit of a woman navigating her place in a rapidly evolving industry.
In fact, Ceberano not only starred on the cover, she also penned the accompanying feature article, writing: “Rolling Stone wants the real Kate, the real me, from my most saintly philosophical views down to the hardcore dirt.”
In the latest episode of ‘Behind The Rolling Stone Cover’, sponsored by Shure, Rolling Stone AU/NZ Editor-in-Chief Poppy Reid sits down with Ceberano to revisit her iconic 1990 cover and relive the stories and reflections that have shaped her four-decade-long career.
