Brave New Hope is a extended play compact disc by Polish-born pop jazz singer Basia. It was released in the United States on September 24, 1991. In its original release (Epic CD 49K-73593) it featured seven songs. Of these the title track is presented twice: in its original version as first presented on the album London Warsaw New York and also in a new mix (subtitled "Brave New Mix"). The other tracks consist of new mixes of two other songs from London Warsaw New York: "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" and "Cruising for Bruising", a new mix of "From Now On" from the album Time and Tide, and two song, "Masquerade" and "Come to Heaven", that were previously unreleased on CD.[1] A later release of the EP (Epic CD EK 48644) added two more songs, "Give Me That" and "Forgive and Forget", that had been issued previously only in Europe.[2]
In his review for this EP release music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that:
It's an enjoyable listen, though it gives a portrait of the singer that isn't entirely accurate. Basia always wanted to be more sophisticated and not be another dance-pop diva. Nevertheless, she is quite good at being a diva, as Brave New Hope proves. For fans, the EP is a nice diversion.[3]
