About Over the Rainbow (Connie Talbot album) in brief

Summary Over the Rainbow (Connie Talbot album)Connie Talbot’s debut album, Over the Rainbow, was released on 26 November 2007. The album peaked at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart. It was re-released on 18 June 2008 with an updated track list. The first single from the album, a cover of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” was released in June 2008. Talbot toured Asia in support of the album and achieved more success on Asian charts, reaching number one in Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong. The cover of “I Will Always Love You\’ was released as a single in the US on 7 April, along with a newly recorded version of “You Raise Me Up”. Talbot performed in public several times after the British release, including headlining the Great Bridge Festival in December 2007. In April and May 2008, she toured Asia to promote the album with the Sun Sun. She appeared on GMTV on both the day of the release of her album’s release and on 5 News on the 5th April. She has also appeared on numerous TV shows, including Britain’s Got Talent, The Voice and The X Factor. She is currently working on her second album, which is due to be released later this year. She also has plans to release a children’s album in the near future, possibly with a number of children’s artists.

She was signed to Rainbow Recording Company, an offshoot of the label Rhythm Riders made specifically for her. The final version of Over the rainbow was recorded at Olympic Studios, on 12 October 2007, and produced by John Arnison, then-manager to Gabrielle and Billy Ocean, and Marc Marot, a former managing director of Island Records. The original version was recorded in a spare room in the house of Tal bot’s aunt, in an attempt not to interrupt her childhood by disrupting her regular activities. It has received poor reviews, with some critics noting a lack of depth in the performances, and questioning the appropriateness of releasing and rating work by such a young artist. Despite its poor chart performance, additional copies of the Album had to be pressed after sales were higher than expected. On 14 October, the album was released to the US, appearing on several Billboard charts, and Talbot travelled to the country with her family to publicise it. The re-release featured three new tracks to replace the Christmas-themed songs on the original album, and a new version was made available for pre-order in May, with the new version being made available on her website.
