Background and release

edit

Ronan Keating announced the release of his ninth studio album in January 2012, during an interview with The Sun, in which Keating stated: "Now I have a new lease of life, and I'm ready to write and record, I'm working on a new studio album, which I hope to release later this year, it will feature brand new songs".[1] He explained that the album it's not folk by genre, but it's more pop oriented, "Gregg Alexander and I are working together again. It's got that 'Life is a Rollercoaster' feel again. I'm having fun with it again, it's been five years since I've done a studio album. I'm a little bit nervous, I just want to make a great record, for me, rather than for anyone else."[1]
