A fourteenth is in progress and may or may not be included. The album will be released in early/spring 2009 by Koch Records.
To connect the dots with previous posts: "If Not Now Then When" was co-written with Kevin Robinson. "Someone for Everyone" has Mark Reilly on backing vocals, "Clear Horizon" is a new version of the song from the Best of comp ten years ago (in a much more natural Basia style) and "Winners" has a Carnaval feel. "Amelki Smiech" (apologies to Polish speakers, the accent-S would not reproduce here) is a celebration of a new baby in Basia's family and has Polish lyrics and backup provided by family and friends. Danny White describes it as "somewhere between "Come to heaven' and 'Rachel's wedding'" (do read this post from Danny, it's really neat)
Other musicians associated with this project include Marc Parnell (drums), Mark Reilly (guest vocals), Kevin Robinson (trumpet), Paul Booth (sax), Fayyaz Virji (trombone), Peter White (guitar), and others. It was mixed by Dave Bascombe.
