Seraphim will be released on the Step Records label on December 1, and will be available on download from iTunes and from [link]www.sarahbassmusic.com[/link].

As well as the usual media activity in support of the release, Bass is planning a series of in-store performances in major shopping centres such as Blanchardstown, Charlemont and elsewhere. The CD will retail at a special recession-busting €10, with digital downloads costing €8.99.

Seraphim has been described by music industry insiders as the ideal album with which to soundtrack the coming Winter. Apart from sublime vocal performances from Bass herself, it comes with lush harmonies and an adventurous mix of songs from several genres, including rock, pop, classical and traditional.

Bass racked up substantial radio airplay with her majestic take on David Bowie’s ‘Life On Mars’. It was her debut single last year and is included on Seraphim. She also proves how eloquently she can adapt rock and pop hits with an Italian-language reworking of Snow Patrol’s ‘Chasing Cars’ and ‘Fix You’, a major hit for Coldplay. She also puts her own personal stamp on ‘Suantrai’ and ‘A Mhuire Mhathair’ as well as other key tracks.
