Deni Hines is Back With “I Got Your Back”

When I was growing up, Deni Hines seemed to be everywhere. If she wasn’t burning up the charts with her band The Rockmelons she was taking the stage by storm in musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar. However, like so many icons of the 90s, she seemed to fade from the music scene, popping up only occasionally on reality TV. I’m so glad to see her back doing what she’s best at with a brand new single “I Got Your Back,” a cut from her November album The Soul Sessions.

While much of the album features covers of the soul songs that shaped her own sound, “I Got Your Back” is an original song Deni penned with Clive Young and Damian Smith about the hardships she saw people in her life facing. The music video, directed by award-winning filmmaker Dean Francis, features Deni bathed in projection mapping images and backgrounds including photos from her trips to Africa supporting the Oasis Africa Foundation.

It’s such a welcome return to form and a real reminder that Deni is one of the greatest soul singers we’ve produced.

Deni Hines Promotes Green Message

Deni Hines has always been conscious of her impact on the environment. She lives in a chemical-free house, refuses to eat meat, and won’t install cable TV because it would mean cutting down a few trees.

Now she’ll spread the word on a new green television program. The Daily Telegraph says the show, scheduled to screen later this year, will cover everything from eco-friendly cosmetics to recycling.

Shooting for the series begins in March, and will take Deni to remote locations including Arnhem Land, Alice Springs, and Darwin.

But that’s not all Deni’s doing to help create a greener world. She was in Sydney yesterday to help launch a Landcare and Mount Franklin project to plant 250, 000 trees around the country.

Nice work Deni!
