Bachelor Girl's 'Waiting For The Day: Artist Sessions' Out Now

Following the release of singles 'Blind', 'Treat Me Good', 'Blown Away' and 'Permission To Shine', Bachelor Girl's reimagined version of their debut, now entitled Waiting For The Day: Artist Sessions, is finally available to stream.

Arriving nearly three decades since the original record dropped in 1998, Waiting For The Day: Artist Sessions features 15 reworked tracks with 15 celebrated Australian artists: Darren Hayes, Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Tommy Emmanuel, Ella Hooper, Sheppard, Jack Jones, Suze DeMarchi, Jon Stevens, Michael Paynter, NERVO, Courtney Act, WILSN and Kaylee Bell.

The album was written, recorded and produced over the past two years with Bachelor Girl's close friends, resulting in a fresh take on a classic album from one of Australia's defining pop acts.

"It feels like we threw a party and everyone showed up!" says James Roche of the remarkable collaborative project.

Tania Doko adds, "It's been a truckload of work to co-ordinate 15 artists, but mammoth projects do take a little 'crazy', a lot of time and meticulous attention to detail. We're incredibly grateful to every artist, their teams, our families, our band and everyone who helped turn what felt virtually impossible into a real-life celebration of our very first song babies."

Reflecting on some of the unforgettable moments behind the album, Tania says, "Jess Mauboy and Delta Goodrem were our first two special guest recordings in Sydney, and the PIPES on these two women to experience in the actual studio... they just blew our hair back."

"They both were the sparks that became a roaring flame for this album," James adds.

"And recording Suze DeMarchi was another pinch-me moment," continues Tania. "Her unmistakable and mesmerising tone is exactly the style of rock vocal only Suze can bring to the table. Courtney Act was FaceTiming me live from Brighton while recording vocals for Lucky Me and completely embodied the song with personality in droves. Get ready for the visuals!"
