Sarah Brightman shares 'Hymn', the title track of her first new album in five years
We all know that feeling when a song just connects with you in a particular moment, lingering in your head long after it's gone. That's the feeling that led to the creation of 'Hymn', the latest offering from the world’s most successful and best-selling soprano Sarah Brightman.
The song marks the return of the classical crossover songbird after five years and serves as the title track of her upcoming album of the same name, and which is due out on November 9 via Decca Gold/ Universal Music Group.
Originally by British prog-rock band Barclay James Harvest, Brightman heard the song on a mixtape in the 80s. She played it in her car and loved it, but didn’t think it was right at that time in her life. Now, decades later, Brightman has revisited the song, given it her signature orchestral and ethereal touch, before making it the essence of the forthcoming album.
