News from Nowhere is the 13th studio album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply released in 1995. The album marks a turn for the band from pop to more adult-oriented themes. Single "Someone" reached #60 in US Adult Contemporary charts.[1] The interpretation of the song "Unchained Melody" and single "Always" both have become favourites in the band's repertoire.

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt it was a "carefully crafted piece of adult contemporary pop, but it lacks memorable songs and suffers from several uninspired performances."[2]
