Recorded in memory of his late mother, this is perhaps Ronan’s most personal album to date and scored him yet another international Number One. Here you’ll find traditional Irish folk songs rubbing shoulders with beautiful versions of the Cyndi Lauper classic ‘Time After Time’, Elvis’ ‘Suspicious Minds’ and Bob Dylan’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’.
A personally-selected collection of wonderfully evocative songs that Ronan remembers from his own childhood, Songs For My Mother also includes a brand new re-working of the fan-favourite ‘This Is Your Song’, a track Ronan wrote for both of his parents. The album was produced by Stephen Lipson, who has also worked with the likes of Will Young, the Pet Shop Boys, Paul McCartney and Annie Lennox.
Ronan is listed in the Guinness Book Of Records for being the only artist ever to have 30 consecutive Top Ten singles in the UK chart.
