Starry Night Over the Phone is the third studio album by Australian rap artist Allday. It was released on 12 July 2019. The album spawned four singles: "Wonder Drug", "Protection", "Lungs" and "Restless", featuring The Veronicas. The album's title is a reference to the Vincent van Gogh painting Starry Night Over the Rhône, with the album artwork's use of light also referencing the painting.[5]

At the AIR Awards of 2020, the album was nominated for Best Independent Hip Hop Album Or EP. The album ultimately lost to Sampa the Great's album The Return.[6]

The Music AU[7]

Anna Rose from The Music AU said the album "is a tender, star-studded offering, one that shows a maturity of soul and sound without washing out his signature hybrid of hip hop and pop." adding "[the] choice in collaborators brings a certain depth to his music." but concluded saying "...without the talents of musicians borrowed from other genres, this would be a pretty bland album."[7] The album was recognised as one of the 20 Best Album Covers of 2019 by Billboard.[8]
