Tina Arena - Way Of The World - Limited World Exclusive Signed Vinyl EP
RELEASED OCTOBER 16, 2026.
Produced by François Tétaz and Luke Howard and recorded primarily at Melbourne’s Synth Temple, Tina Arena's 'Way Of The World' reimagines “True Faith” (New Order), “Way of the World” (Max Q / Michael Hutchence), “Enjoy the Silence” (Depeche Mode), “Ordinary World” (Duran Duran), “Torno Bambina” (Ada Mori) and “Cayendo” (Frank Ocean) through stunning orchestral arrangements, prepared piano, analogue synthesis and electronic textures.
Rather than traditional cover versions, these are complete artistic reimagining’s that reaffirm Tina Arena as one of Australia’s most expressive and enduring vocalists. Of first single “True Faith”, Tina says, “Making the deliberate choice to focus on the lyric of true faith was musically revelatory for me. It presented a blank musical canvas with endless vulnerability and space for me to explore.”
François Tétaz, a Grammy and ARIA-winning producer known for his work with Gotye, Kimbra and Architecture in Helsinki, contributes synthesisers, Rhodes, prepared piano and drum machines throughout, while pianist and composer Luke Howard shapes the EP’s restrained, cinematic language. The pair are joined by an ensemble including the Budapest Art Orchestra, Peter Knight, James Rushford, Mindy Meng Wang and orchestrator Felix Watson, giving the collection its rich, orchestral backbone.
Tina Arena is one of Australia’s highest-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. She has earned twenty-five ARIA Award nominations, winning seven to date, including Album of the Year (‘Don’t Ask’) as well as being inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 2015.

Impressed SoundTracks, in collaboration with Rubber Records, is proud to present the soundtrack of The Surfer, a 2024 psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan and starring Nicolas Cage that premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
The film's original score is composed by François Tétaz, an Australian film composer known for his work on films such as Elvis (2022), Wolf Creek (2005), and Judy & Punch (2019).
"...François Tétaz’s terrific score carries strains of Morricone in its mythic propulsion." Paste Magazine
The film centres on a man who returns to his Australian hometown after spending years in the U.S. When a group of local surfers humiliates him in front of his teenage son, and a group of local surfers who claim ownership of the secluded beach from his childhood, he is pushed to the brink of his sanity.
The score was written as The Surfer's inner dialogue; his childhood in Australia through his fathers record collection and some misremembered TV themes he grew up with. Australian shows like In the Wild with Harry Butler, Skippy and the New Wave soundtracks for Wake in Fright, The Last Wave and John Sangster’s Paradise Vol 1 for the Queensland tourism commission - Australian Exotica.
The soundtrack captures the protagonist's nostalgia for his childhood beach, his underlying melancholy, and the unique atmosphere of the place itself. The hypnotic turquoise waves, the dry bush, the essence of Australia, and the peculiar tone of the story were all reflected in the music. A soundtrack beautiful crafted to be enjoyed independently of the movie.
Scoring The Surfer was a gift and a challenge. Nicolas Cage gave such a big performance, the instrumentation grew larger and stranger - the tonal colours kept expanding. I somehow ended up adding ludicrous amounts of wind chimes, mark tree and bell tree. Usually a cliched instrument choice for wonder and magic, here they are intended to be so insistent they become taunting and maddening. - François Tétaz (film composer)
Limited to 1000 copies, pressed to heavyweight blue and white 'WAVE/WHITE WASH' colour-in-colour vinyl in a gatefold jacket, 12 page booklet with stills from the film, and with our signature individually-numbered obi strip.
Only On Impressed.
