Tina Arena's Love helps Breast Cancer Foundation



"I'm the voice of David Jones!" 
Tina Arena, whose smooth vocals and endearing persona has carried her to great success here and overseas for so many years, has put her voice to DJ's TV campaign this season. 
David Jones' roots remain firmly planted in Australia. The store has enlisted Tina to record a special Christmas theme song this year which will spearhead the retailer's marketing strategy over the next two months and raise some serious funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.


"Christmas time is all about the family coming together. Each year we do our best to be with our parents – we come together, the siblings and the grandchildren. Our traditions are simple … we cook, we eat and we always have a good laugh! Our French Christmases are usually spent at our home – lots of friends pop in during the day. It’s still about family and food, though the weather and the menu is different… The food is vast and rich … from oysters a la natural, cheeses, to de canard … duck. Of course, there is always wine to accompany. We don’t always eat turkey here in Australia for Christmas, with Italian parents! I do love it every now and again though … there is usually the smell of a roast and lasagne, slowly cooking. Antipasto and champagne come out early!"

Tina’s new version of 10cc’s 1976 hit “The Things We Do for Love” is available on iTunes now with proceeds going to breast cancer research: http://bit.ly/thingswedoforlove
