Written by Elliott Batte
Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has returned with brand new album ‘Standing Ovation’, her fourth album in just three years.
Boyle, who appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, has now taken over the world, selling records and performing concerts all over the world - as well as earning herself a cool £22million. Her debut record ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ came out in 2009, hitting #1 in the UK and US, and was followed by ‘The Gift’ the following year and ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ the year after that. Now, it’s time for her fourth effort ‘Standing Ovation’.
Featuring breathtaking renditions of ‘Send in the Clowns’ and ‘Bring Him Home’, Susan fearlessly takes on the iconic song ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ giving it a new identity. ‘Standing Ovation’ also showcases duets with her lifelong idol Donny Osmond and the “Phantom” himself Michael Crawford.
The album heralds a return to an era of much loved music for Susan Boyle, a lifelong fan of musicals. Her favourite songs from the golden age of film and theatre fused with her outstanding vocals from the ethereal to the dramatic, the music showcases the voice the world fell in love with.
Talking about her album Susan said; “I have been a fan of musicals since I was a wee girl. I love them and have enjoyed the drama and the range of emotions they inspire in you. I still remember the first time I saw Les Mis, my all time favourite. I fell in love with it and have seen it now countless times as each time you watch it you draw something different.
“Creating this album was a joy and came very naturally as I knew the songs and could identify with the characters in the studio. Recording with Donny on two songs was a dream come true. Working with him was awesome and I learned so much from him as a performer and a person. Being in the studio with him was without doubt the best day ever- it wasn’t work!”
The new record is out now, and you can buy it here. Keep your eyes peeled for some more Susan Boyle news in the near future - we’ll let you know if she decides to take the record on tour!
