Kismet (EP)

Kismet is an extended play by Belinda Carlisle, released on May 12, 2023, through RAF and BMG Rights Management.

[3] A new collection of songs was teased in October 2022 with Carlisle announcing "I'm making a music video today for the first time in over 25 years" via Twitter.

"[5][6] Carlisle pondered on the idea of recording new music, adding "But I went to the studio and I don't even know what to say – it was so good.

[7] Retropop Magazine said "Authentically Belinda, all five songs touch different bases and reference various eras from her career", adding "Undoubtedly her strongest material since the early-nineties, Kismet is a welcome reminder not only of Belinda's power as one of the greatest pop stars of a generation, but also Diane Warren's knack for penning a killer hit.

"[9] John Curley of Goldmine magazine stated that Kismet has "a bit of the feel of the pop of Carlisle's solo heyday, the mid-to-late 1980s, but with modern touches, so it doesn’t feel dated or retro", further stating that all songs on the EP are "radio friendly".
