Recording and promotion

Recording for The Deepest Blue took place at numerous studios in Sydney, Auckland, and Wellington. Multiple notable Australian and New Zealand musicians contributed to its creation, including singer Daryl Braithwaite - whom Urlich had previously collaborated with on the former's No. 1 single "The Horses" - and Ardijah lead singer Betty-Anne Monga.[1][2]

Three singles were released to promote the album, with lead "Gonna Make You Mine" reaching the top 30 of the Australian charts and its follow-up "Every Little Thing" peaking at No. 50. Sales of both the singles and the album itself failed to mirror the success of Urlich's previous efforts and none of the three singles charted whatsoever in Urlich's home country of New Zealand. Combined with their inability to market her in the Northern Hemisphere, Sony resultingly dropped Urlich after the release of The Deepest Blue. However, Urlich was pleased with the situation due to her relationship with the label having soured.[2]
