Review "When people come up to me and say `oh, your singing made me cry', it's nice to realize that you're making other people happy. But I don't know how I do it, I just sing." -- Faryl Smith, December 2008 Product Description Produced and arranged by Jon Cohen, Faryl consists of an eclectic mix of 12 stunning tracks ranging from such signature classics as Amazing Grace to the lesser known Welsh hymn Calon Lan , taught lovingly to Faryl over the phone by her Grandfather. The album features Faryl s signature song Ave Maria her choice of talent show audition song which has now become synonymous with the youngster, gaining standing ovations whenever she performs it. River of Light has been written by Ivor Novello winning writer Frank Musker and is based on The Blue Danube by John Strauss one of the most popular tunes of all time. The melody is loved around the world but no one has ever heard it like this before. No doubt one of the album s hidden gems is The Way Old Friends Do written by Abba s Bjon Ulvaeus and taken from their 1980 classic Super Trouper album. Bjorn personally changed the lyrics to suit the young star. ...ordinarily Abba are very strict and never sanction lyric changes, but with Faryl, Bjorn offered to change the words personally (Tom Lewis - UCJ) Adding a new dimension to the album is Annie s Song Faryl s rendition of US country star John Denver s number 1 track from 1974. The haunting ballad highlights Faryl s varied vocal range and further showcases the young singers diversity Faryl sings with precision, emotion and power throughout each of the album s 12 tracks. A testament to her ability, Faryl proves that the young girl from Kettering has a glittering career ahead of her. Every singer dreams of recording their own album, but to have this chance at my age was amazing said Faryl. The recording was a challenge - I had to fit it around my school work and so ended up recording right through my Christmas holidays, but I loved every minute of it! About the Artist One minute, Faryl Smith was an ordinary schoolgirl with a talent, the next she was being told in front of a national television audience, "You are literally one in a million" and "super-talented." This is how 13-year-old singing sensation Faryl Smith sang her way to the final of ITV's Britain's Got Talent and into Britain's front rooms. It was an endorsement worth its weight in platinum with Faryl now about to sign the largest record deal ever awarded to schoolgirl. 2008 has been a year to remember for Faryl, but it is set to be the first of many. Talent show fame came with a spot on the Britain's Got Talent Tour, but where most will fade away after that initial burst, it was always clear that Faryl was destined for something special. She is still an ordinary schoolgirl from Northamptonshire who plays right-back for her county championship winning football team, now she will have to find some extra time for superstardom. No one really thinks it will be a problem. Besides the emotional power of her voice, what impressed judges and audiences most about Faryl is her amazing composure and maturity. If she felt nervous walking out to sing in front of the TV cameras, you would never have known it. "I'm nervous before I go on," she admits, "but once I get on stage and start singing, I'm fine. I try not to look at the audience because it would probably put me off - I just look at a spot on the wall or something." Despite her youth, Faryl had already been through several tests of her nerve and ability before she faced the bright lights of Britain's Got Talent. When she was 10, she won three awards at the Eisteddfodd in her home-town of Kettering, Northants, then took first prize in the 10-15 age group at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfodd. In November 2007, she reached the final of the Festival 4 Stars in Glasgow. "We just enter these things and see what happens," she shrugs, laughing. "Everything I do is just gaining experience."
