Single of the Week: The Air That I Breathe – Belinda Carlisle

Reflecting on the influence of 70s music on artists who came of age in the 80s, Diana praises Belinda for tapping into that nostalgia with her signature grace. Known for her powerhouse vocals and pop-rock legacy with The Go-Go’s and her successful solo career, Belinda now returns with Once Upon a Time in California – an album of 10 cover tracks drawn from her own musical roots.

Diana describes the track as “beautifully done”, with Belinda’s voice delicate and controlled, capturing the peaceful, dreamy essence of the original. “It gives me peace and tranquillity,” she shares, evoking memories of summer nights and beachside nostalgia.

The Air That I Breathe debuted last Friday, with the official video premiering at 11 a.m. Central / 5 p.m. GMT. The full album drops on August 29th, accompanied by an album signing at HMV, Oxford Street, London, at 6 p.m.

Fans can pre-save the album now and follow Belinda Carlisle on social media for updates.
