Kate Ceberano releases “Sweet Inspiration,” the 28th album of her extraordinary music career!

The album, which Kate has produced, features two new original songs, “Hold On” (the album’s first single). Of the first single ‘Hold On’ Kate says: “In a time where there is so much uncertainty, we are all going to need so much more of things that money can’t buy, like comfort, support, love and peace of mind….music is the only thing that brings this to me time and time again. It keeps me hoping and dreaming about better days to come!”

Written by Kate during the Melbourne pandemic lockdown, along with the album’s title track “Sweet Inspiration”, written in collaboration with veteran Sony Music recording artist, Rick Price.

The album also features 10 outstanding covers, wonderful material written by some of the greats including Dolly Parton, Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney and John Lennon, Carole King and more.

Kate says: “the album contains my thoughts about life, nature, beauty and the human spirit”.

She tackles these great landmark songs with her own unique style in each performance.

Kate Ceberano
One of Australia's most gifted and versatile performers, Kate Ceberano's music crossed several genres and made her one of the most popular female vocalists of the 1980s and '90s. Ceberano first rose to prominence as the teenage lead singer of Australian funk-pop outfit I'm Talking in 1985. Their debut (and as it transpired, only) album, Bear Witness, produced three hit singles, including "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." I'm Talking disbanded in 1987, and Ceberano released her debut solo jazz album in that same year. Kate Ceberano and Her Septet, featuring her brother Phil and veteran session musicians Alex Pertout and Jex Saarelaht, became a huge hit, and was followed in 1988 by You've Always Got the Blues, which featured Ceberano and Wendy Matthews as vocalists. In 1988 the first single from Ceberano's eagerly awaited first pop album was released. "Bedroom Eyes" became the highest-selling Australian single of 1988 and helped Ceberano win two ARIA awards for best female vocalist in 1988 and 1989. The album, Brave, was released in 1989 and went triple platinum. "Young Boys Are My Weakness" was also released as a single from this disc. Another jazz album called Like Now followed in 1990, then her second pop album, Think About It, appeared in 1991. However, it could not build on the success of Brave and failed to produce a strong single. 1992 saw a stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar open in Australia. Ceberano won the part of Mary Magdalene, and performed alongside John Farnham, Noiseworks frontman Jon Stevens, and former Rose Tattoo lead singer Angry Anderson in the show. The Australian cast album went four-times platinum and Ceberano's song from the production — "I Don't Know How to Love Him" — was released as a single. In 1996, another pop album, Blue Box, was released, and this was followed in 1998 with Pash. The '60s-influenced pop of the title track became her biggest hit since "Bedroom Eyes." A best-of collection entitled True Romantic appeared in 1999.

This album contains no booklet.
