Belinda Carlisle Once Upon a Time in California LP (Picture Disc)

The music legend, Belinda Carlisle, returns to her roots on Once Upon a Time in California. 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.
