SUSAN BOYLE - THE GIFT

In April 2009, an unassuming, middle-aged woman took the stage to audition for the first round of the 3rd edition of Britain's Got Talent. Her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misrables stunned the Judges and the audience alike. Thus began the meteoric singing career of Susan Boyle, then aged 48 years and in November 2009 she released her first album I Dreamed a Dream which debuted as the number one best-selling album on charts around the globe. Watch that remarkable first performance of Susan Boyle on You Tube.

The Gift is Susan Boyle's second album and was released in November 2010. The Gift went on to reach No.1 in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic in the week of its release. The album also received a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2011. The first four tracks contain cover versions of well-known numbers while the remaining tracks are traditional Christmas Carols and Hymns.





NOTEWORTHY TRACKS : Perfect day (Lou Reed), Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen).

FOOTNOTE OF INTEREST: Also listen to Lou Reed's and Duran Duran's version of Perfect Day on You Tube. This song has been sung by many artistes of note.

ALLY MCBEAL - FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE FT. VONDA SHEPARD

Remember the sitcom Ally Mcbeal...... and the pixie-like Calista Flockhart? Here's an album that showcases a few tracks from that serial. The album was first released in 2001 with the Indian edition being released in 2002.





NOTEWORTHY TRACKS: For Once In My Life, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, You're the First, The Last, My Everything and not the least, the serial's theme song, Searchin' My Soul.

FOOTNOTE OF INTEREST: A note-worthy fact of Ally Mcbeal was that the serial was very musically oriented. This is what attracted me to watch this serial regularly when it was aired in India. Each episode featured songs that were sung by Vonda Shepard, who played herself in the sitcom, as well as by other mainstream singers like Barry White, Al Green, Tina Turner, Anastacia, Elton John, Sting and Mariah Carey, some of whom had even made guest appearances in the show. This sitcom brought Vonda Shepard into the limelight as a singer.

 
Rediscovering an old OST of a Bengali movie called Nil Nirjone. The songs are mostly composed by Bengali band Cactus.

Recently discovered this band in this forum. I currently recall the name of the FM who mentioned about it, but thanks to him. :)
