Singing sensation Susan Boyle catapulted to international stardom in 2009, smashed music records around the world, has sold over 22 million albums, and now returns with an incredible album of inspiration songs - her sixth studio album in five years. That album, Hope, will be released via SYCO/Columbia Records on Oct. 21, 2014, in partnership with Fair Trade to the Christian marketplace.

Hope heralds a new era of music for Susan Boyle, where ballads marry with uptempo songs. Susan's raw and powerful vocals ranging from the ethereal to the dramatic are showcased in her own inimitable style as she gives breathtaking renditions of iconic songs such as MercyMe's "I Can Only Imagine" and radio focus track Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

Susan continues to defy expectations with her globally successful career.  As she prepares to tour the USA for the first time ever this fall (full list of tour dates below), this astounding sixth album is set to once again remind people of the voice the world fell in love with in 2009, when she stepped on to the Britain's Got Talent stage, with hope and a dream.
