Basia Bulat Kingston album launch

*BASIA BULAT TO RELEASE /HEART OF MY OWN/**//*

*FIRST TOUR DATE ANNOUNCED IN TORONTO*

Secret City Records is thrilled to announce the sophomore album from
*Basia Bulat*, entitled /Heart Of My Own/, to be released on *January
26, 2010*. And for those fans that can't wait until the new year,
Basia's first single, "Gold Rush", will be available digitally on iTunes
on November 10^th .

Basia's 2007 debut, /Oh, My Darling/, was a success both at home and on
the international scene, garnering a Polaris Prize nomination, and
praise from outlets like NPR, who labeled "In the Night" as "one of
2008's great singles," citing Bulat's "graceful effervescence and …
innate understanding of momentum." Breathless, thirsty, and dislodged
from dreary nostalgia, /Oh My Darling/ was the spark that set Basia
Bulat apart from the raft of typical singer-songwriters.

Like it's predecessor, /Heart of My Own /was produced by Howard Bilerman
at Hotel2Tango in Montreal, but it's a decidedly more eclectic record in
terms of the songwriting and instrumentation. "I think it is at times
extremely sparse and, well, spacious, with big choirs singing," Bulat
says, "and then it gets really dense with really spirited and rolling
drums."

Nearly all the songs on /Heart of My Own/ were written while on the
road: traveling between cities, crossing the Canadian prairies,
searching for a place to stop in the Nevada desert, trailing through the
Smoky Mountains, standing in the bright dusk of a summer night in the
Yukon. Perhaps most surprising was the strong influence her short time
in the Yukon had on this album. Basia spent five days and nights in
Dawson City, where for the first time she experienced true silence. "I
felt my mind was overwhelmed with ideas. It had been a long-time dream
of mine to make it to the Yukon, so to finally accomplish that, and for
it to be possible because of my music, was also a very overwhelming thing."
Basia Bulat will be touring our great nation once again in the new year,
