Background

Belinda Carlisle and Diane Warren have a long history of working together after first collaborating on Carlisle's 1987 album, Heaven on Earth, which featured the Warren written songs, "I Get Weak" and "World Without You".[1]

Carlisle's last English-language pop record, A Woman & a Man was released in 1996, before hitting pause on her recording career while focusing on her live shows.[2]

A new collection of songs was teased in October 2022 with Carlisle announcing "I'm making a music video today for the first time in over 25 years" via twitter.[3]

In February 2023, Carlisle said "27 years on from making my last English language pop record I really wasn't thinking I would ever make one again... and I was quite happy with that idea. Then a chance encounter in a coffee shop led me back to the wonderful Diane Warren and she gave me the incredible gift of this song and the other songs on my upcoming EP."[4][5] Carlisle pondered on the idea of recording new music, adding "But I went to the studio and I don't even know what to say – it was so good. There are about three singles on the EP and they're incredible."[2]

Warren added, "I'm so excited for everyone to hear Belinda's new record, she's never sounded better. It's so great to be working together again after all these years."[4][5]

The EP track listing and cover art were revealed via Twitter on March 16, 2023.[6]

Retropop Magazine[7]

Retropop Magazine said "Authentically Belinda, all five songs touch different bases and reference various eras from her career", adding "Undoubtedly her strongest material since the early-nineties, Kismet is a welcome reminder not only of Belinda's power as one of the greatest pop stars of a generation, but also Diane Warren's knack for penning a killer hit."[7]
