Background

In the second half of 2009, Clark took time off from filming Neighbours, to launch his music career and to work on songs for the album.[3] He returned to the set in February 2010 and continued to work on both the album and the show.[4] The album was set for a release on 13 August 2010, but it was delayed by a week so that a cover of Angry Anderson's "Suddenly" could be added.[5] The song became famous after it was used during the wedding of characters, Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue) and Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) in 1987. Clark's version of the song was used in the soap's 5998th episode, which broadcast on 25 August 2010, as his character, Ringo Brown married Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie).[5]

Singles

Promotion

Before the release of the album, Clark had made some instore appearances for the release of his debut single "Broken", in shopping centres across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia[3] In January 2010, Clark performed the single at Warner Bros. Movie World[12] In February, he performed an acoustic version of the song on Australian TV program, The Circle[13] Clark returned to Warner Bros. Movie World on 2 April 2010 to 5 April 2010, to perform the single again and also sign copies[14]

Clark premiered his second single, "Send Me a Sign" during an episode of Neighbours, where he sang it in character as Ringo on 22 April 2010, the day of the single's release.[15] In August 2010, Clark began a five-week national tour, visiting fifty schools across Australia to promote his third single, "Devastated", the album and to also talk about his commitment to giving blood as an ambassador for the Red Cross Blood Service.[16]
