Brightman Eden

Hymn is an inspirational collection of orchestrated, choir-based songs that Brightman says felt soothing to record after she came down to earth “with an enormous bump,” as she puts it. “I think musicians in particular start from whatever it is they’re going through.” The album isn’t religious, she says, and it doesn’t include any traditional “church songs.” “I kept thinking about this word, ‘hymn,’ and what it reminded me of. To me, it suggests joy - a feeling of hope and light, something that is familiar and secure. And that’s something I really needed at that point in my life. Every project I’ve done has come from an emotional place.”

"Bella Voce" is a nice collection of Sarah's popular performances, ranging from Classical ("Nessun Dorma") and Classical crossover ("Time To Say Goodbye") to straight Pop ("Dust In The Wind").
