"I’m so excited to share this album with everyone. HYMN is excitingly eclectic, encompassing many different styles, and I’m looking forward to performing the new songs on my world tour. Every project I’ve done has come from an emotional place, and I wanted to make something that sounded very beautiful and uplifting. To me, ‘hymn,’ suggests joy a feeling of hope and light, something that is familiar and secure, and I hope that sentiment resonates through the music," said Sarah Brightman as quoted by the promoters.

Brightman began to work on this album with her longtime producer and collaborator Frank Peterson in 2016. Peterson also produced eight of her previous records.

According to the singer’s website, the album was recorded over the past two years in Hamburg, Miami, London, Vancouver, Los Angeles, New York and Budapest.

The title track is a song by British prog-rock band Barclay James Harvest. The album includes "a new rendition of Brightman’s signature smash duet with Andrea Bocelli, "Time To Say Goodbye," singing lyrics that she wrote herself, and sung in English for the first time." according to the website.

Sarah Brightman sold more than 35 mln copies of her albums over her career. The singer won 180 gold and platinum awards in more than 40 countries.

In 2015, Sarah Brightman was expected to become the eighth space tourist and first professional singer to visit the International Space Station. Brightman arrived in Russia to begin a nine-month training program but later she had to cancel her trip.
