Tina Arena is going to be everywhere over the next few weeks.
Aside from nailing a note perfect delivery of the national anthem at yesterday’s Grand Final, the singer has also signed up for the TV series ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and she’s also just released her long anticipated new tune ‘You Set Fire to My Life’, her autobiography is about to be released and she’s coming to Perth soon!
The new track is the first single from Tina’s upcoming album ‘Reset’. The album has been recorded over the last few years in Stockholm, Paris, Sydney and Melbourne and features tracks produced by Boy Blue (P!nk, John Legend), Danton Supple (Coldplay, Morrissey), Robert Conley (Darren Hayes, Georgi Kay), Dann Hume (Alpine, Lisa Mitchell, Evermore) and Arena herself – the first time she has co-produced tracks on an album.
When we spoke to Tina last year she described her new work as sounding continental, and when pushed for a more detailed description expanded the definition.
‘It means experimenting with different approaches, not such a bombastic American or English approach, it’s a little bit softer. It’s very story based, it’s continental – it flirts with different sounds and sonic approaches.’
‘You Set Fire To my Life’ is a great piece of adult pop but the track really comes to life in the remixed versions, we love the 7th Heaven Radio Edit, featured on the video below, and can’t wait to hear it drop on a dance floor.
The album will be Tina’s seventh album in English and her first album on original material in eleven years. Tina’s also released two French albums, four live albums and a greatest hits collection.
Take a listen to the new track below, it’s available for download via iTunes. Tina will be visiting Perth next month to appear on Telethon.
