Once Upon a Time in California | Belinda Carlisle

Description

Cover Notes: Demon Music Group are delighted to confirm the release of the new album, ‘Once Upon a Time in California’ from the icon that is Belinda Carlisle. Featuring ten new studio tracks, recorded in her native Los Angeles, it sees the singer take a deeply personal journey through the golden sounds of her youth, with a collection of immaculate cover versions. Steeped in the spirit of her Californian upbringing, the album is a heartfelt tribute to the vintage pop culture that shaped her musical identity. ‘Once Upon a Time in California’ opens with a stirring remake of the Bacharach & David gem written for Dionne Warwick, ‘Anyone Who Had a Heart’. Belinda then pays her respects to such timeless artists as the Carpenters (‘Superstar’), Gordon Lightfoot (‘If You Could Read My Mind’), and Jim Croce (‘Time in a Bottle’), and to songs for the ages including ‘The Air That I Breathe’ (Albert Hammond), ‘Everybody’s Talkin” (Harry Nilsson) and ‘Reflections of My Life’ (Marmalade). The result is an entirely different kind of California dreamin’ for a new generation. Although this marks the first time all ten tracks have been available on one album, three of the selections – ‘Superstar’, ‘If You Could Read My Mind’ and ‘Get Together’ have been available on previous Belinda Carlisle collections.
