All Day Venus is the second studio album by Australian musician Adalita. It was released by Liberation Music on 20 September 2013.
Adalita first announced that she was writing for a new album via her blog in March 2012. The album was written and demoed throughout 2012 at various locations, including Melbourne, Sydney and Smiths Lake on the New South Wales central coast. This was, reportedly, a period of self-examination and personal growth for Adalita, with many of the songs centring on the 'disintegration of romantic relationships'. She also expressed that she wanted to work with a band for this album, marking the first time she's done so since Magic Dirt went on indefinite hiatus in 2010.
Adalita announced on her Facebook page, in April 2013, that work had started on the album at Birdland Studios in Melbourne, with long -time Magic Dirt producer Lindsay Gravina. Matt Bailey (Paradise Motel) played bass on the album, while three different drummers – Jim White from Dirty Three, Hugo Cran of The Devastations and Lee Parker of Spite House – all contributed to the album. Also playing on the album is violinist, Willow Stahlut, whom Adalita encountered busking in Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall and invited into the studio. Mixing of the album was completed in July 2013.
In June, Adalita appeared on Australian television program RocKwiz and performed a track from the new album, entitled "I Want Your Love", a track that she has been playing live since 2010. In July 2013, she previewed the track "All Day Venus" and announced a small run of Australian east coast shows to preview the new material. During the first show, at The Tote venue in Melbourne, Victoria, she announced that the album is also titled All Day Venus.
