Ghosts (Siobhán Donaghy album)

Ghosts is the second studio album by British singer Siobhán Donaghy, released by Parlophone on 25 June 2007. Produced by James Sanger and Marius de Vries, it was recorded over an eighteen month period at Sanger's studio in northern France. The standard edition of the album contains no contributions from any of the songwriters or producers who collaborated with Donaghy on her debut album, 2001's Revolution in Me. She said she was reluctant to create a record continuing in that same musical direction, so instead recorded Ghosts with different collaborators in an effort to create a new sound.

Donaghy and Sanger's working relationship while recording the album was often fraught, due to their differing backgrounds and Sanger's issues with heroin addiction and mental health. Donaghy and numerous reviews said Ghosts was enhanced by these experiences, as they were used by the pair to create a more emotive album. Its lyrics deal with themes of mental health, depression, lost love, independence, and survival. Musically, Ghosts is an alternative pop album with elements of blues, dance, and trip hop.

"Don't Give It Up" and "So You Say" preceded the album as commercial singles. Both songs performed moderately well on the UK and Scottish singles charts. The title track was also issued as a promotional single. Despite receiving positive reviews, the album peaked at number 92 in the UK. Its artwork was created by Floria Sigismondi, and contains references to Miss Havisham and The Lady of Shalott.

The record was the subject of a manufacturing error on release, when another artist's music was printed on CD copies of the album. Its promotion was also impacted by the hostile takeover of Parlophone's parent company EMI by Guy Hands. Two months after the release of Ghosts, Donaghy postponed a tour and abandoned promotion of the album to join the West End production of Rent Remixed.
