Cliché (Hush Hush) is the first reissue by Romanian singer-songwriter Alexandra Stan. It was released only to Japanese digital outlets on October 2, 2013, containing her worldwide-releases Lemonade, Cliche (Hush Hush) and All My People (vs. Manilla Maniacs). It serves to be the re-issue of her debut album Saxobeats (2011). An album's deluxe edition was just released as a compact disc[1] and as digital download on October 23, 2013 in Japan, containing, among the original album's tracks, all the Saxobeats tracks and special remixes of them.
Background
The re-issue was released in Japan on October 10, 2013 under the title "Cliche (Hush Hush)" with three new tracks and four new remixes. The singles Lemonade, Cliche (Hush Hush) and All My People (vs. Manilla Maniacs) were already released worldwide to digital outlets in summer 2012 until early 2013, to promote the re-issue. Cliche (Hush Hush) is the only work that contains her three releases; worldwide, the singles were released as non-album singles. This is the ultimate album under the label of "Maan Studio". For the promotion, "All My People" had supported the football game between the Romanian football team and the Greek team, for the qualification to the FIFA World Coup 2013.
