I love her underrated "Soulmate #9." I was listening to "If I Was A River" earlier today. What a beautiful song.

It's written by Diane Warren (just like a lot of Céline songs like Because You Loved Me) and produced by Walter Afanasieff (Mariah - early years).

Love the song too!

[LuisMa]

I know, I wish Celine had recorded that and some other Diane Warren-penned hits like "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)"

Went to see Tina Arena live in concert two weeks ago in Brussels.
She was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truely an amazing live artist. Love the voice!

[RLAAMJR.]

I've heard Tina sing a non-english song but i wasn't sure if it was spanish, french or something else.

[Ray]

Tina has released several French albums.
But she's also done two Italian songs.
And some in Spanish as well.

[RLAAMJR.]

i see. i didn't actually know that til now

[Ray]

^ Tina is really big in France.
She's worked with several people Céline Dion worked with as well for her French albums.

[popstar60]

Tina was big in France between 1998 and 2005! In deep, Just and Un autre univers were very sucessful albums there. But her last French album was a flop unfortunately!

Does anyone know of a place where I can preview the songs on The Peel Me Sessions CD? A fansite with 30-sec clips or something? Can't find anything on the official site/webshop

[Ray]

^ I don't know which site, as it's only released via her official website.

But if you like Tina, you will like the album.
It's good!

Tina is currently working on a new original English studio album.

She is collaborating with at least two people who Tina-fans should be familiar with:

Peter-John Vettese: Peter produced much of Just Me ("God Only Knows", "Symphony of Life", "You Made Me Find Myself", "Tangled", "Something's Gotta Change" ) and co-wrote "Dare You to Be Happy" and "Symphony of Life". Peter also co-wrote and produced the gorgeous "Dis-moi", Tina's duet with Jean-François Bernardini from I Muvrini which appeared on 7 vies.

Greg Fitzgerald: Greg co-wrote and produced "Si tu veux mon coeur" from Un autre univers and produced "Ailleurs" from 7 vies as well as Tina's covers of Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" and Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" from Songs of Love & Loss 2.

I prefer her English songs, such as 'Burn' and 'I want to spend my lifetime loving you'.

[rael1983]

Here she is covering Celine and Andrea Bocelli's duet "The Prayer" with Australian singer Anthony Callea. They do a fantastic job!

Tina is working on her new album. It will be released this year. She's gonna finish it in May and June, so it won't be released till later this year. But defenitely in 2013. There will also be a book. The album will be with all original English songs written by Tina and co-writers. She said: "There are up-tempo contemporary tracks and some dance moments. It's not all happy. There is defenitely some darkness and melancholy tunes. A few people I worked with in Sweden: Jorgen, Vacuum, Trinity, Arnthor Birgisson. I also recorded songs in the UK, Australia and L.A. I'm not sure which ones will make the record."

In 2014 it's the 20th anniversary of Don't Ask. Tina says there will be a surprise coming with the anniversary.

[rael1983]

Yes, Tina is releasing a new English album of original songs this year and also her autobiography. I really can't wait. She's one of my favourite female singers.

I'm excited about this news. I've always loved her. Can't wait to listen to her new material.

[J-Man]

I love Tina Arena. I have all her albums and am looking forward to finding the time to watch her latest DVD concert that I bought in Australia

You are already late watching it. It's fantastic. Makes you wonder why she's not a worldwide superstar like Celine or Mariah. To me she's one of the best female vocalists in pop music right now.

[celine4evauk]

I love listening to Coeur du Pierre, and hearing the audience at the end. And You Made Me Find Myself, when she sings "thank you", and you hear the audience say it back.

[Ray]

Tina's new album "Reset" will be out in October containing all new music!
You Set Fire to My Life will be the leadsingle and it will be released on 27 September.

[Ray]

The book is coming in October.

The album 'Reset' is coming on October 18.

And Tina signed to dance in Australia's 'Dancing With The Stars'.

[rael1983]

Can't wait to listen to the new album and read her autobiography.

You know what? I sent to her management a lot of magazine clippings and 10 DVD's with videos of her performances and interviews that I recorded during her career, and her manager told me they were ecstatic with all the stuff and that they will be sending me a signed copy of her new album and book. I'm really lucky!

[rael1983]

Here's a 1 minute teaser of her new single "You Set Fire To My Life", to be released on September 27. The song looks awesome!
