Songs from the Red Room Songs from the Red Room Songs from the Red Room is the fourth studio album by British pop-rock project Shakespears Sister, released in November 2009 through SF Records. "Songs from the Red Room" was originally planned for release in 2005, under Siobhan Fahey's own name and the title "Bad Blood". This release never came to surface however, and was only released four years later as Shakespears Sister, after Fahey revived the project the same year. On 11 May 2010, the album was re-released containing a bonus disc for the first time through major retailers, such as Amazon. Jaime Gill of
