Back in the groove: Belinda Carlisle makes a welcome return to pop with theKismet EP
The last time Classic Pop spoke to Belinda Carlisle she was enjoying life away from the typical rock star haunts. Based out in Bangkok, she’d just released Wilder Shores, an album of Sikh chants inspired by her love of yoga. Since then she’s returned to the western hemisphere – Mexico City to be exact – and to western music, with her first mainstream pop release since the A Woman & A Man album in 1996. Now she reveals how a chance meeting prompted her return, working with songwriting icon Diane Warren, and why she’ll always be a punk at heart.
