Bonnie Tyler "Free Spirit"

Free Spirit is the eleventh studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was first released in 1995 by EastWest Records in Europe, and by Atlantic Records in the United States.

Tyler's three previous albums, Bitterblue (1991), Angel Heart (1992) and Silhouette in Red (1993), were released in Europe by Hansa Records. She signed to EastWest Records in 1994 and travelled to Los Angeles to record Free Spirit. Dieter Bohlen, Tyler's producer under Hansa, took her leave very personally, describing Free Spirit as "one of the most expensive flops in the history of EastWest."

Tyler first released the album in Europe through EastWest Records and in the United States through Atlantic Records. She recorded the Alan Parsons Project song "Limelight", which was used as an Olympic theme by ZDF, and featured on EastWest's Atlanta '96 - The Sound of Winners compilation album, in association with the 1996 Summer Olympics, which took place in Atlanta, Georgia. The song appeared on a re-release of Free Spirit in March 1996.


The Free Spirit Tour began on 1 April 1996, where Tyler performed 22 shows in Germany.
