Wednesday Breakfast: Belinda Carlisle – California Dreams, Classic Covers & That Anthemic Sound

Pop icon Belinda Carlisle joins Brett, Tim & LJ to chat about her new album Once Upon a Time in California, a heartfelt collection of cover songs inspired by the California radio tracks she grew up with. From recording across continents to collaborating with a producer 25 years her junior, Belinda shares how this album became a love letter to the music that shaped her.

We talk about her first single “The Air That I Breathe,” how she put her own twist on old favourites, and why she still gets joy from reinterpreting music while keeping the integrity of the originals. Plus: fangirling from our hosts, unexpected trivia about the album title, and a reminder of just how timeless that voice really is.
