Beulah (singer)

Beulah (real name Beulah Garside) is a British female singer-songwriter. She grew up in the Peak District and attended Repton School. This country setting and her family gave her the inspiration for her debut album Mabel and I. The album is a mixture of folksy ballads, jazz and country.

Beulah is a songwriter, singer and producer from Manchester, England. Her career has spanned 15 years and has taken her from the UK to the USA; to Brazil and Japan.

Early years were spent working with Gary Barlow (Take That) and Eliot Kennedy (Bryan Adams & The Spice Girls).

At 22 she moved to London and met Jon Kelly (Kate Bush) and they, along with Universal Records, made her debut album "Mabel & I".

However she spent most of her career in the United States, namely Nashville and Los Angeles, working alongside Grammy Award winning writer/producer David Foster and songwriter Sarah Siskind ('Simple Love' for Alison Krauss) She was also fortunate enough to sing with Andrea Boccelli.

She has written with many well respected writers such as Crispin Hunt (The Longpigs, Rebecca Ferguson, Rihanna); Steve Booker (Duffy) and Amy Foster (Michael Buble, Katy Perry).

Beulah (Blake)

In William Blake's mythology, Beulah, originally Hebrew בְּעוּלָה (bÿ'ulah, traditionally transliterated “Beulah” /ˈbjuːlə/, that means: "married" or "espoused") is "the realm of the Subconscious, the source of poetic inspiration and of dreams." It is also, according to Blake scholar Alexander S. Gourlay, "a dreamy paradise where the sexes, though divided, blissfully converse in shameless selflessness. Beulah is available through dreams and visions to those in Ulro, the utterly fallen world." Between Eternity and Ulro, it is imagined as a place without conflict similar to a conventional image of heaven or Eternity. However, for Blake, the idea of an everlasting peaceful Eternity is misguided and fallen.

Origins

Beulah, in its Hebrew origins, often indicates, the happy and delightful for the Lord country (See Isaiah 62:4). This is one of names given to Palestine when it is rejoined to God after the exile, a prophesied attribute of the land of Israel. John Bunyan in his Pilgrim's Progress also uses the name "Beuhlah". Joseph Hogan describes Bunyan's Beuhlah as "the pastoral earthly paradise (in sight of the Heavenly City) where Christian and the other pilgrims rest before crossing the River of Death and entering the Heavenly City."

Background

Mary is named after Sarkodie's late Grandmother who wanted him to record live music. The album took 2 years to record. Sarkodie worked closely with producer Akwaboah on the LP. In a December 2014 Facebook post, the rapper revealed the album's cover art and said he didn't tweet or talked about it because he needed time and a sound mind to record. Producer Akwaboah told Pulse Ghana that the album will comprise 10 songs including "Success Story", "End Up Falling", "All In You" and "Giant Steps". He also said he wrote eight songs on the album.
