Songs of Love & Loss is the seventh studio album, and first cover album, by Australian singer and songwriter Tina Arena, released on 1 December 2007. The album was Arena's first full length English language recording in six years and her first album with EMI since her debut Strong as Steel in 1990. It peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Top Albums Chart and was certified platinum a week after its release. "Until" was the only original song on the album. A French-language version of "Until" ("Ta vie") was featured on her next album, 7 vies. "Woman" is featured in a remixed version here. The original is from her 2001 Just Me album.
A deluxe edition of the album was released on 19 April 2008 which featured a bonus disc of songs recorded live during Arena's five-date Love & Loss Tour.
Songs of Love & Loss was nominated for Highest Selling Album at the 2008 ARIA Music Awards.
Arena released Songs of Love & Loss in France, Belgium and Switzerland on 18 May 2015 under the title of Love and Loss.
Recorded primarily in London in 2007 with the London Studio Orchestra conducted by Simon Hale, the album is made up of ten covers, one new song and a reworking of "Woman" from Arena's previous album, Just Me. The record was originally going to be entirely made up of Dusty Springfield covers but Arena decided this would be too creatively limiting so broadened the scope to include other torch songs which she felt matched the tone of the album. "To Sir With Love" was performed by Arena at a graduation Mass at St. Columba's College, Melbourne on her final day of high school so it held special meaning for her.
