About the Artist
Australian pop icons Bachelor Girl take a sparkling walk on the country side with a reimagined take on their 1998 single Blown Away out now, teaming up with fellow Aussie icons Tommy Emmanuel CGP and Ella Hooper to bring this new version to life. The fourth single released from their 1998 debut studio album Waiting for the Day, Blown Away reaches stunning new heights in its reimagined form decades later, also offering another glimpse into the duo’s forthcoming redux album which will showcase an epic array of acclaimed household names bringing their prowess to reimagined Bachelor Girl favourites.
Expanding on the original’s classic 90s-soaked ruminating verses, euphoric choruses and soaring melodies, Blown Away’s 2026 glow-up dazzles with twangs, shuffling percussion and acoustic guitar, injecting Americana flavours while also colliding four of the country’s most renowned musicians. Guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel and Ella Hooper (Killing Heidi) join forces with Bachelor Girl’s Tania Doko and James Roche to breathe brilliant new life into long-time fan favourite track.
“We’ve gone a lil’ bit country/Americana on this third release of our 'Artist Sessions’,” shares Bachelor Girl’s Tania Doko of the reworked Blown Away. “James and I wanted to extend the collaboration to two artists we’ve shared a long musical history with… this time all the way from Nashville to Violet Town. We just couldn’t resist calling in James’ ol ‘boss’ he thrived with on tour back in the 90s - one of the world’s guitar greats, Tommy Emmanuel, along with fellow 90s effervescent front woman who’s gone a LOT Americana herself - Ella Hooper. The original Blown Away is a crowd favourite live, and now this new version of great friends/artists quite simply makes my soul ‘YEEHAW!'”
