"The Hits & More" is a greatest hits album by actress, singer-songwriter and model, Melissa Tkautz. The album comes 21 years after her ARIA Award winning,^[1] number one single, ‘’Read My Lips” was released.

"The amount of tweets and the amount of emails we get saying that people couldn’t get a hold of certain songs… I just think to put it all on one album was such a great idea,” she says.

The album includes tracks from Tkautz’s entire career as well as new tracks, “Not Enough”, “Fake it Good” and “Take Me Away”. ^[2] The album was released on 10 August 2012.^[3]

Promotions

On 9 July 2012, Tkautz released a 1 minute, 30 second promotional video for the album, composed of video clips from throughout her career to the music of “Something About You”.^[4]

Throughout August, Tkautz performed a number of tracks live on TV in early August 2012, including “Sexy (Is the Word)” on ‘’The Morning Show’’ on 7 August and “Read My Lips” on ‘’The Late News’’ on 10 August. .^[5]

Tkautz toured the album across Australia in late 2012.^[6][7] “A lot of my older tracks are quite poppy and I find this is very much up with the times in terms of what is going on in the clubs,” Melissa says.^[8]
