Album Notes

Roisin Dempsey is a former singer with Riverdance, Anuna, and Celtic Woman, as well as being a solo artist in her own right with Tara Records, and her performances have seen her travel extensively all over the world over the past 10 years. She is now very proud to launch her latest album, “Surrounded”, in Wexford.

“SURROUNDED” is a collection of music to touch and soothe the soul when nothing else will – the idea for this album came from the realisation that while music is a very powerful form of expression, it can be quite difficult to find an album that can reach you deeply enough to relax and calm you …. Produced by David Hayes, and featuring some of Ireland’s finest studio musicians, this collection contains beautifully spacious versions of such classic songs as the Beatles’ “Let It Be” and Eric Clapton’s “Tears In Heaven”, as well as some simple yet clever arrangements of the ancient chant “Deus Meus”, and John Denver’s “I Watch You Sleeping”.

I cannot stop listening to this CD! Its amazing how immediately you feel totally relaxed and comforted! Theres such a range of genres from haunting irish songs, popular and classical pieces, each one brilliantly arranged and perfectly chosen instruments. Many people would see it as a risk to do covers of popular songs but her versions of "let it be" and "tears in heaven" are truly beautiful! Her voice is so well trained and every note is so clear! This cd has truly been a comfort, ive SO much respect for you, one of the better Cds out there! Thanks! Em :)

Relax and be at Peace

I must admit my expectations for this CD were high. I have her first CD, Spirit of an Irish Christmas, and enjoy it immensely. I expected to enjoy this CD at least as much as her first one. I’m telling you all now, she blew right past every expectation I had for her! The first time I listened to this CD I felt myself relax. I didn’t realize it was happening until I suddenly noticed that I was having a difficult time staying awake! Since that first listening, there have been several times when I’ve been stressed or had a hard day…Surrounded is now a CD I reach for to unwind. Roisin’s voice throughout this entire CD is like a whisper to my soul: “Relax, it will all be OK”. It wraps itself around me, comforting and safe. This is one singularly impressive CD to have such a strong effect!
