Iconic pop artist and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Belinda Carlisle unveils her latest single and official music video, “One”. It’s an elegant, jazz-inflected rendition of the early 1960’s classic originally recorded by Harry Nilsson and then covered by John Farnham in 1969 resulting in a Top 5 hit in Australia.
Belinda’s new version is the third single following "The Air That I Breathe” and “Get Together” all lifted from her anticipated new album titled Once Upon A Time In California, slated for release on 29 August 2025 by the Demon Music label. It will be Belinda’s first English album in 29 years!!
The covers album will feature ten new studio tracks that opens with a stirring remake of the Burt Bacharach & Hal 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 Talking’ (Harry Nilsson), ‘Reflections Of My Life’ (Marmalade), and ‘Never My Love’ (The Association).
What sets this album apart is that it’s a celebration of Californian culture that stretches its canvas beyond the familiar evocation of the Laurel Canyon sound. It’s a carefully curated and beautifully realised salute to Belinda’s personal education in pop music, and the magical sounds that arrived in her life from near and far, on the radio and on cherished 45s.
With the assured and distinctive vocal delivery of someone who herself has become one of the Golden State’s greatest exports - initially as frontwoman for The Go-Go’s, and as a solo performer with a multitude of classic global hits Belinda Carlisle completes this sentimental journey back to her youth with timeless style.
Commenting on the album Belinda says, “I was born and raised in California at a time when music was an important part of Californian culture. I lived and breathed music, it was my great escape - a refuge of fantasy and imagination. Every day after school and when it was summer vacation, I would listen and sing along to the music on the radio for the entire day. Always fantasizing about being a singer myself, one day.
This collection of songs is the best representation of what I loved back then that I could think of - listening to it brings back so many memories of a time and a California that doesn't really exist anymore. That’s not meant to sound like a bad thing, it's just different - there was an innocence and energy back then that was unique and magical. Things I doubt will ever be felt in quite the same way again. Here's to the California of my dreams.”
With Once Upon A Time In California, Belinda Carlisle invites fans old and new to join her on a journey through the melodies that defined a generation.
