Over the Rainbow (Connie Talbot album)
''Over the Rainbow'' is the debut album of child singer Connie Talbot, and was released 26 November 2007 by Rainbow Recording Company. Most of the album's recording was done in a spare room in the house of Talbot's aunt, in an attempt to preserve her childhood by not interrupting her regular activities. Although initially public appearances were kept to a minimum, Talbot did make appearances to promote the album, and performed in public several times after the British release. It received poor reviews from critics and peaked at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart. Despite this, additional copies of the album had to be pressed after sales were higher than expected. She later toured Asia in support of the album. ''Over the Rainbow'' achieved more success on the Asian charts, reaching number one in Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
''Over the Rainbow'' was rereleased on 18 June 2008 with an updated tracklist, replacing some of the Christmas themed tracks of the original with more general covers. The first single from the album, "Three Little Birds," was released in June 2008, and a music video for the song was shot in Jamaica. On 14 October, the album was released in the US, appearing on several ''Billboard'' charts. Talbot visited the US to promote the album, appearing on national television.
== Recording and release ==
Connie Talbot raised to prominence after reaching the final of the first series of ''Britain's Got Talent''. After briefly recording with Sony BMG, Talbot was signed to Rainbow Recording Company, an offshoot of Rhythm Riders made specifically for her. To produce ''Over the Rainbow'', Talbot worked with John Arnison, then-manager to Gabrielle and Billy Ocean, and Marc Marot, former managing director of Island Records.〔 It was produced and mixed by Simon Hill and Rob May. A recording schedule was worked out so Talbot could continue with her normal school activities while recording the album in her aunt Vicky's spare bedroom, which her mother described as "a better solution" than the one offered by Sony BMG, "which has not robbed her of her childhood".〔 Talbot said that "it was just amazing that we could do it in my auntie's house". Arnison and Marot asked the Talbot family to "write down a list of the songs that Connie would sing at her birthday party" to help choose the track listing, and then "thought long and hard" about including more adult songs on the album. Talbot herself insisted that they should.〔 The final version of ''Over the Rainbow'' was recorded at Olympic Studios, on 12 October 2007. Arnison described the recording process by saying that Talbot "hadn't sung nursery rhymes; she'd always sung classic tracks. So it was actually quite an easy task to make the record."〔 The album was released on 26 November 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Connie Talbot- Over the Rainbow )〕 with an initial pressing of 50,000 copies.〔 However, an additional 120,000 had to be pressed after the album sold out in a matter of days. The album was released in the US on 14 October 2008.
''Over the Rainbow'' was rereleased on 18 June 2008,〔 and was available for preorder in May, with three new tracks to replace the Christmas-themed songs on the original album. The new tracks were made available from Talbot's official website so that those who bought the original need not buy the rerelease.〔 Talbot's song "Three Little Birds", a cover of the Bob Marley song of the same name, was released as a single on 10 June 2008,〔 and a music video was shot in Jamaica to for the release.〔 〕 The album was released in the US on 14 October, and Talbot travelled to America with her family to publicise it. Talbot's cover of "I Will Always Love You" was released as a single in the US on 7 April, along with a newly recorded "You Raise Me Up".
