Following the success of Ronan Keating's international number one album 'Songs For My Mother' released earlier this year, Ronan has recorded another special set of songs entitled ‘Stay’ for this Christmas.

Teaming up again with 'Songs For My Mother' producer Steve Lipson (past credits include Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox and Pet Shop Boys) Ronan has pulled together a set of 11 songs that evoke special memories of winter and Christmas for him. The album includes a traditional and modern festive classics, including tracks from artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell and Grammy Award winning Sugarland. The album also includes two brand new Ronan songs 'Its Only Christmas' and 'Scars' as well as the title track off the album and brand new single 'Stay' - a gentle ballad that is incredibly Ronan-esque in sound and style.

Starting his career in Boyzone, Ronan has carved out an impressive career both with the group, and as a solo artist with no signs of slowing down just yet.. Anyone who saw him perform on the final of New Zealand's Dancing With The Stars earlier this year witnessed a singer with true class and supreme confidence. Lucky for NZ Ronan will be embarking on a tour this summer to support his new album in stores November 23.
