She captured the hearts of millions and became a worldwide YouTube phenomenon with over 300 million hits. An inspiration for those who have a dream, the talented Susan Boyle presents her stunning debut album.

 

Susan surprised the world with her powerful, heart stopping voice when she walked onto the Britain’s

Got Talent stage. Now with a beautiful and diverse album she will, once again, defy preconceptions.

 

I Dreamed a Dream, the album, crafted by world acclaimed producer Steve Mac, demonstrates Susan Boyle’s extensive musical ability. Featuring her signature songs, ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ & ‘Cry me a River’ the album also includes a haunting rendition of Rolling Stones “Wild Horses”, Madonna's ‘You’ll See, The Monkees ‘Daydream Believer’ and “Who I Was Born To Be” an original recording written specially for Susan.

 

Susan enthused; "It was my greatest ambition to release an album and I have finally achieved it. This amazing journey has helped me find my own identity and fulfill my wish. There is happiness out there for everyone who dares to dream."

 

Released:

U.K: Monday 23rd November 2009

album of the year! the mighty Boyle :wub:

Just listened to her singing on Youtube. First time I heard her, just amazing. I don't watch reality talent shows at all in case you hadn't guessed. -_-

No memory?!

this is going in my mums xmas stocking :lol:

'Cry Me a River'?? :mellow: Oh no...

'Cry Me a River'?? :mellow: Oh no...

What? That's quite a powerful song and not the Justin Timberlake one either. I think she'd do it well.

same week as Brit :drama:

Agreed :)

 

Mark my words. This will be huge. 400k+ first week easily!!! I'll even say No.1 album right through until Christmas.

Thanks for the info I can't wait for this album. I really hope it does well for her and she will go to #1 with it.

I wonder how she will do promotion.

She's been auto-tuned to hell, but you're so right Crazy Chris, it'll sell like candy floss and hot dogs at a fair. I think she'll outsell everyone and have the biggest selling album of the year.

Unlike Feck$h!te's new album, this will be a Syco album of covers worth listening to.

I'll be interested to hear her cover of You'll See if nothing else, which was a ridiculous omission from the CD version of Madonna's Celebration album...so underrated :(

I thought it was the Justin Timberlake song until I read it on yahoo earlier :P

 

Oh and speaking of that article...

 

The pop charts, for so long slumbering like a dozing old hound, are about to get a considerable wake-up call. From the moment that news first broke of Susan Boyle's debut album, Amazon in both the UK and US have been quaking at the demand and "I Dreamed A Dream" is reported to be sitting atop both pre-order charts. It's difficult to put into words the impact the "Britain's Got Talent" runner-up has had on the world. Needless to say, Diversity must be questioning who actually won the competition.

 

Today, the tracklisting emerged for SuBo's solo bow and it's an interesting and broad selection, with covers of Madonna, The Monkees and former M People warbler Heather Small, amongst many others. In a statement, West Lothian's finest said: "It was my greatest ambition to release an album and I have finally achieved it. This amazing journey has helped me find my own identity and fulfil my wish. There is happiness out there for everyone who dares to dream."

 

It has not been disclosed who wrote "Who I Was Born To Be", the only original recording here. However, Snap, Crackle and Pop would suggest it probably wasn't Xenomania. Elsewhere, "Wild Horses" has already leaked online, to some acclaim, and there is sure to be excitement at how Susan tackles The Monkees. Of course, "Cry Me A River" is not a reworking of Justin Timberlake's pop tear-jerker, rather a new take on the Ella Fitzgerald classic Boyle covered for a charity CD back in 1999. Quite how she escaped record company clutches for a decade after this must still be keeping Simon Cowell up at night...

 

So she's number 1 on pre-orders over here AND US!?! :o

Thanks, for the album cover. I'm not sure if I like it.

Horrible cover tbh, they could have made it far better than that :(

Could have been better, but I see what they were trying to go for - I don't mind it.

What like? A slinky short mini dress in black or silver, complete with seductive pout - a-la Alex? Or perhaps a sort of 'Easy Rider' like pose astride a motorbike in a sandy, desert terrain? :lol:

 

I think this is the only cover Sue's album could go with. I'm not sure I'll buy it but I'll definitely download the Cry Me A River song - its almost as good as the Julie London version.
