Many New Friends

In the past few days, there have been lots of people from Indonesia, coming to read this Connie Talbot Official blog, and also Connie's Facebook page and Twitter. Connie's management would like to welcome all these new friends, and to thank you for your support for Connie.

Indonesia is a great country, and very beautiful, and Connie has really enjoyed her first visit there. She has made many new friends. We hope it won't be long before she can visit again, and maybe next time she will be able to stay longer.

Connie has felt a lot of positive emotion at the warm welcome she has received in all the countries she has visited in south east Asia during the Beautiful World tour in the past two weeks - Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia. Everyone has been very friendly and kind in every place she has visited.

Once again, on Connie's behalf, thank you all for your kindness and support.

#ConnieFriends forever :)

Connie Talbot Arrives in Hong Kong

Connie has now arrived in Hong Kong for the first stage of her mini tour of South East Asia to promote her new album, Beautiful World. One of the first things she did was to tweet a photo of the view across the harbour from her hotel room.

Today, Connie will be settling in and getting some rest. Then she will be starting rehearsals for her first performance of the tour, at Windsor House, which is a 17-storey shopping and entertainment complex in the Causeway Bay district of Hong Kong. That will take place at 3pm on Saturday, December 15th.

Then it's off to the Philippines for 3 performances in different locations in Manila on the 16th and 17th. A busy schedule.

Hope she will be able to find some spare time to go shopping!

New Album on iTunes

The record company EvoSound has confirmed that Connie's new album, BEAUTIFUL WORLD, is now available as a download from iTunes in Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

iTunes customers in the USA and Canada will have to wait a little bit longer...

Meanwhile, you can order it from Evo88.com for free shipping to any country in the world from Hong Kong. Don't forget that all purchasers of the CD version will receive a free exclusive bonus MP3 track.

From Connie's team :)

Beautiful World Arrived Today

Hi everyone, this is Simon. You may remember me - I'm one of the people on Connie's team.

I just received Connie's BEAUTIFUL WORLD album in the mail. Today is the 27th, and it was only released on the 26th, so it seems to have taken only one day to travel all the way from Evo88 in Hong Kong to reach me in England!

Evo88 say they can ship for free to any country worldwide. So if you live in the USA or Europe, you should be able to get the CD from them, just as I did. Just go to the Evo88 website - it's very easy, and you can use PayPal if you want to.

It will be on iTunes soon of course, but it's nice to also have the CD with the case and photos. And there's a book of lyrics with lots of pictures that comes with the CD.

If you can't decide between the CD or iTunes download, then why not be like me - go for both of them!

Best wishes,

Simon

Connie Works With Award-Winning Producer, Kipper Eldridge

From Connie's manager, Rod Paul:

Hi, everyone,

Have you all seen Connie's wonderful new You Tube video where she sings IMAGINE with accompaniment by the legendary songwriter/producer Kipper Eldridge on guitar? It's one you won't want to miss. http://youtu.be/4sXPkLfCzUQ

Connie is hard at work these days with Kipper to record an album for the Asian market. She has carefully selected the songs with Ashley Whitfield at EvoSound Records in Hong Kong that will be best received by her audience in that region.

Kipper is a Grammy and Emmy winning producer and musican, best known for producing and performing on Sting's biggest selling solo album "Brand New Day", as well as the platinum albums "All This Time" and "Sacred Love".

The plan is for Connie to visit Hong Kong in December to promote the album and perform live at various venues. This will be her second trip to Hong Kong this year.

Connie is expected to be back in the studio in Los Angeles, early in 2013, working on her album with Toby Gad - another huge name in the music business.  Toby has produced for Demi Lovato, The Wanted, One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen, Beyonce and many other major artists.

Another big event, coming up soon (November 20th) for Connie, is her 12th birthday!

"SAIL AWAY" Preview - Connie in California video passes 500,000 view mark!

When Connie came to Los Angeles in April, we thought it would be interesting for her to record an original "Pop" song.  Noted songwriter/producer Robbie Nevil, came up with SAIL AWAY for us and on a Sunday morning, at Robbie's studio in Santa Monica, Connie stepped up to the microphone.

We all loved what we heard.  What started out as an "experiment" turned into a fun and popular song for Connie.  The little video we put together just passed 500,000 views on YouTube!

Produced and released independently, the song is doing well on iTunes and the other digital download sites.  We are starting to get radio airplay worldwide and we've made a distribution deal for the song in Japan, where Connie has many fans.  The popular teen music website TweenPopRadio has a Top 40 list and Connie has been at #1 for five straight weeks... ahead of One Direction, Demi Lovato, Maroon5, Carly Rae Jepsen, even Justin Bieber.

As most of you know, Connie has recorded 4 new songs with multi-platinum songwriter/producer Toby Gad.  Two of the songs, Connie co-wrote!  Hopefully, she will be back in the studio with Toby soon, to produce more tracks with the goal of an album in mind.

Plans are in the works for Connie to record an album for the Asian market and a trip to Hong Kong in December to promote it.

Going back to SAIL AWAY for a moment... it is really important that folks support the single by purchasing it.  Unfortunately, today, only about half of the digital downloads for songs are legal ones.  Piracy has really hurt the music industry, the artists and all of the supporting people who make music for us to listen to possible.  So, just remember how hard artists like Connie work to entertain us all and share with us their special talent.  Isn't a dollar worth it to keep the music coming from people like Connie?  If you haven't done it yet, please visit iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon or your favorite legitimate download site and do your part to support your favorite artists.

If you haven't seen the SAIL AWAY preview video yet, have a look... it's pure Connie!
