***Something Like Strangers*** is the third [studio album](/source/Studio_album) by [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand) [Pop rock](/source/Pop_rock) band [Stellar*](/source/Stellar*), released by [Sony BMG](/source/Sony_BMG) on August 28, 2006 in New Zealand. The album was released after a period of hiatus after the release of their second album in 2001. Unlike the band's first two albums, Something Like Strangers did not reach the #1 position. It stayed at #9 on the [RIANZ](/source/RIANZ) albums charts for two weeks before slipping down out of the top 10.[1] The album's lead single was [Whiplash](/source/Whiplash_(Stellar*_song)), released in March 2006, and followed by the July single For a While (which featured a collaboration with [Andy Lovegrove](/source/Andy_Lovegrove) of fellow New Zealand band [Breaks Co-Op](/source/Breaks_Co-Op)).

The album was first announced by Boh Runga at the official Stellar* message board in April 2005, with "Take a Girl" (then titled "Take a Girl (Living It Up)") being the prospective first single.[2]
