After a lengthy hiatus, during which time Tina Arena started a family
and focused on her massive French success, Arena has just released
her first new English album in six years - 'Songs of Love & Loss'.
'Songs of Love & Loss' is a handpicked covers album featuring
songs of love and heartbreak and is the first album to be released
under Tina's new worldwide deal with EMI Music Australia. Tina has
been working on the album during 2007 from her home base of London.
Speaking recently from London, while putting the finishing touches
on the album, Tina said: "This album is about more than just
a woman carrying the torch for her lost love's return. These songs
are powerful and uplifting and they are as much about the lives of
the women who sang them - Lulu, Dusty Springfield, Carole King, Diana
Ross. These women really took on life in their own way and at their
peak they sang songs that made a statement."
Tina's Australian sales total almost 2 million across the albums
'Just Me' (2001), 1997's 'In Deep' and the globally successful 'Don't
Ask' - which sold an incredible 10x platinum in Australia. In recent
years, Tina has become a huge star in France where she has sold 1.8
million albums, including her recent and first all-French repertoire
album 'Un Autre Univers' which reached double platinum sales in France.
More recently, Tina has been performing as Roxie Hart in the West
End production of 'Chicago: The Musical'.
Now she returns not only with a new album but to a new label. CEO
of EMI Music Australasia, John O'Donnell said, "I am incredibly
proud and excited to be working with Tina Arena. Tina has had the
most remarkable career - she is a household name in Australia, a superstar
in France and parts of Europe and is known around the world as a brilliant
vocalist. 'Songs of Love & Loss' is a stunning next chapter in
her story. We welcome Australia's first lady of song to her new home
at EMI."
