Something Like Strangers
Something Like Strangers is the third studio album by New Zealand Pop rock band Stellar*, released by Sony BMG on August 28, 2006 in New Zealand. The album was released after a period of hiatus after the release of their second album in 2001. Unlike the band's first two albums, Something Like Strangers did not reach the #1 position. It stayed at #9 on the RIANZ albums charts for two weeks before slipping down out of the top 10. [1] The album's lead single was Whiplash, released in March 2006, and followed by the July single For a While (which featured a collaboration with Andy Lovegrove of fellow New Zealand band Breaks Co-Op).
The album was first announced by Boh Runga at the official Stellar* message board in April 2005, with "Take a Girl" (then titled "Take a Girl (Living It Up)") being the prospective first single. [2]
