Sarah Brightman releases eleventh studio album “Dreamchaser”

Since Sarah Brightman’sWest End debut in Cats(1981),Brightman has been an inspiring and influential presence in the music scene, and with the release of her eleventh studio album under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines), Dreamchaser, she’s about to become a different kind of pioneer. 

Dreamchaser is the realization of a lifelong journey that began when Brightman was just a little girl growing up in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England, dreaming of spectacular, unknowable things. “When I look back, my mind’s eye brings me a rush of images from all of the incredible things that I have been privileged to experience in my life,” she explained. “But if I keep tracking back my thoughts eventually come to rest on a flickering TV screen in 1969.” That summer, when Apollo 11 touched down on the moon and Neil Armstrong bounded across its surface, Brightman felt herself transform, and all her hopes and aspirations shift. “Watching the first man land on the moon – it was an epiphany. It changed things. It actually helped me understand what it was that I had to do in my life, to further myself, to do things, to think outside of the box,” she said. “I could go that far, I could do that. From that moment, I started to work really hard.”
