Jackie Evancho - Dream With Me (New Release)
SOPRANO PRODIGY JACKIE EVANCHO RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM IN M'SIA!
News Release; Sony Music Malaysia
Jackie Evancho, the tiny child with the preternaturally big voice and perfect pitch, has just released her first full-length album, “Dream With Me” in Malaysia. One of 2011's most heavily anticipated new releases, “Dream With Me” is produced by the legendary David Foster, a sixteen-time Grammy winner (including three Producer of the Year trophies) who's worked with Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Beyoncé, Prince, Barbra Streisand and many others.
Jackie Evancho comes into her own with “Dream With Me”, collaborating with Foster on a repertoire ranging from classical arias to pop classics to Oscar-winning show tunes with highlights that include two extraordinary superstar duets showcasing the young vocalist performing with music legend Barbra Streisand ("Somewhere" from West Side Story) and international phenomenon Susan Boyle ("A Mother’s Prayer") on her first full-length album. The album fulfills the promise of “O Holy Night”, Jackie's debut album in the US, an extended play (EP) seasonal collection released last November which went Platinum and became the year's #1 best-selling debut recording with sales exceeding 1.5 million. Upon its release in the United States earlier in June, “Dream With Me” debuted at #2 on the US charts with 161,397 copies sold in its first week! The album has now been officially certified Gold in the US, signifying shipments in excess of 500,000 copies of the album. Jackie has also made music history by becoming the fastest selling debut classical artist of all time in the UK charts and the youngest ever solo artist to have a UK Top 4 album.
“I can say without a doubt that working with Jackie on Dream With Me was truly phenomenal. Her natural ability and the depth of her understanding of the musical process left me speechless. I think we have created a musical experience that will thrill audiences of every age. She was a pure joy to work with and I had a front row seat to one of the next great talents of our time,” said David Foster.
Simon Cowell says: “Her voice for an 11 year old is unbelievable. I am thrilled that Jackie is making records for us. I think she's going to be a huge star all over the world.”
A contestant on "America's Got Talent" in 2010, Jackie stole the hearts of the American nation with her performances on the show. She catapulted into the quarter finals round when her unaffectedly pure performance of Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" (one of Maria Callas's signature arias) handily won the show's YouTube round. Jackie performed five times on the show over the summer. Her astonishing classical crossover soprano performances marked the arrival of a major musical talent.
A Pittsburgh native, Jackie first began singing on the cusp of her 8th birthday after experiencing "The Phantom of the Opera" on DVD. She launched her own YouTube channel and started vocal lessons a few months later. She performed at local talent shows, going on to high profile events including singing the national anthem at Pittsburgh Pirate games.
Jackie Evancho’s “Dream With Me” is now available exclusively at CD-RAMA outlets nationwide.
