Tina Arena Joins Forces With Shouse For 'Chains' Remix

This November marks the 30th anniversary of Tina Arena’s iconic third album, Don’t Ask, with the first single, Chains, turning 30 next Thursday (29 August).

In a thrilling collaboration, Arena has re-recorded her vocals on Chains for a new rendition of the classic with Australian dance duo SHOUSE, and you can listen to it now.

Chains peaked at #4 on the ARIA Singles Chart upon its release. Its impact has been felt by generations, with Jessica Mauboy, The Veronicas, and Matt Corby just some of the names putting their own magic on the power ballad. With the new version of Chains, Tina Arena’s music might just make it to a new generation’s ears.

Arena said of the collaboration, “Revisiting Chains with SHOUSE has been an incredible journey. Their fresh approach has given the song a new dimension while staying true to the essence that made it special in the first place. I’m thrilled for fans old and new to experience this new chapter of Chains.”

SHOUSE (Jack Madin and Ed Service) added, “Working with the legendary Tina Arena on this project has been a dream come true. Her original version of Chains is a masterpiece, and our goal was to honour that while adding our unique touch. We can't wait for everyone to hear the result—it’s something truly special.”

You can listen to the Tina Arena and SHOUSE version of Chains below.
