context_page_description: Resurrection is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Anastacia released in May 2014. The record is her first album of original material in nearly five and a half years and was recorded primarily written during Anastacia's second battle with breast cancer. The album proved to a commercial success in Europe entering the top five in Italy, Germany, Spain and Switzerland and the top ten in the Dutch and UK charts.
context_section_description: The album's title Resurrection refers to the artist's recovery from breast cancer and a return to the "sprock" sound (hybrid of soul, pop and rock) the singer became known for in 2004. The recording sessions for the album began in early 2013. The title also refers to the meaning of her name in Greek, Anastasia. During the recoding of the song "Pendulum" she was informed of her second cancer diagnosis. The lead single "Stupid Little Things" was written by Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello, with whom has had a long-standing collaborative partnership. The song received a positive reception with MTV's Brad Stern including it in his 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week!. For the album also continued working with the producer and songwriter Jamie Hartman, including the song "Stay" that refers to her personal circumstances at the time. Other collaborators included the musician John Fields, producer Toby Gadd and songwriter Steve Diamond.
  The deluxe edition in a hardback book format contains a second CD with four additional tracks that includes "Left Outside Alone, Part 2" – a re-recording of a previous hit single.
