Australian pop icon <\/span>Tina Arena<\/b> is set to return to our shores this August to embark on a national tour following the overwhelming success of her latest album, her first original English language release in 12 years, <\/span>Reset<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tina Arena<\/b> is a name that is synonymous with Australian music and pop culture. Her voice has resonated throughout generations from her early days on Young Talent Time, to her coming of age debut album Strong as Steel<\/i>, through to her incredible international success with sophomore album, ten times platinum Don\u2019t Ask<\/i> and follow up multi-platinum In Deep,<\/i> and then again with 2001\u2019s Just Me.<\/i><\/p>\n

Tina\u2019s career boasts an incredible playbook of anthemic hits that have penetrated the Australian musical landscape and earned her both critical and commercial acclaim both at home and abroad. Hits like platinum selling I Need Your Body, Chains, Heaven Help My Heart, Sorrento Moon, Burn, Now I Can Dance<\/i> and Symphony Of Life<\/i> have established Tina as Australia\u2019s premier songstress having recently been voted the greatest Australian female singer of all time by her Australian musical peers.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s her extraordinary parallel pop career in her adopted home of France, where she\u2019s sold over 4 million records and received that country\u2019s highest cultural honour, a Knighthood of the Order of National Merit \u2013 a first for any Australian artist.<\/p>\n

Tina was also the first woman to win the ARIA Award for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d, and was bestowed the honour of opening the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 and she has won several World Music Awards \u2013 there\u2019s also been her critically acclaimed stints as a music theatre star on the West End in London. And, more recently, her double platinum Songs of Love & Loss<\/i> tribute albums and national symphonic tours. Away from music, in 2005, Tina became a mother to son Gabriel.<\/p>\n

2013 marked Tina\u2019s triumphant return to the Australian charts with Reset<\/i><\/b> being one of the highest selling Australian albums of year spending 3 months in the ARIA top 20, and earning a spot in News Limited\u2019s \u2018Top 20 Albums of the Year\u2019 list reconfirming Tina\u2019s unmistakeable ability to connect with Australian audiences. Described by News Limited\u2019s Cameron Adams as \u201c… classy electro-pop … modern but timeless …<\/i>\u201d, ABC radio called it \u201ca landmark album \u2013 extraordinary<\/i>\u201d and the Sydney Morning Herald said \u201cstylish and adult \u2013 all class<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

You Set Fire to My Life, Reset All<\/i> and Only Lonely<\/i> are 3 songs from the album that have already charted and there are more to come.<\/p>\n

Reset<\/i><\/b> is Tina as we\u2019ve not heard her before but at the same time doing what she does best.<\/p>\n

2013 was also the year Tina had 7 albums and 10 singles simultaneously charting on iTunes after a high profile TV interview. She also released her anticipated biography \u201cNow I Can Dance\u201d last October and it\u2019s already in its 4th<\/sup> reprint.<\/p>\n

With this latest album as the catalyst, Tina is embarking on the national Reset Tour this August and in keeping with the theme, Tina has created an exciting new show where she will bring to life the album and thrill audiences with hits from her entire career as they\u2019ve never been seen before.<\/p>\n

World-renowned director Bruce Ramus, who has designed and directed countless international live shows and events including U2, R.E.M., Bj\u00f6rk and David Bowie as well as some of television\u2019s biggest events – Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, MTV Awards and Super Bowl Halftime Shows – has also jumped on-board as Tina\u2019s co-creative director, and the results of this partnership are destined to be magical.<\/p>\n

Tina today said \u201cI\u2019m really excited that Australian audiences will be the first in the world to experience songs from Reset in a live environment. <\/i>I\u2019m so happy this album has connected with so many people and these songs are going to really come to life in this show.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
