Launch of "Notes From An Island" (11 Nov 2008)

Finally, it's here! This festive season, we hope to lift spirits with the launch of our second album, entitled Notes from an Island. With songs in English, Mandarin and Malay, the collection is inspired by the familiar sights, sounds, colours and culture of Singapore.

Respected names on the local music scene feature heavily on this album rich with original songs. Group music director/vocal arranger John Lee contributes his songwriting talents on many tracks and offers fresh arrangements of songs such as the title track from international recording artiste Corrine May's first album Fly Away. Other popular local names such as Dick Lee, Peter Lee, Ruth Ling, Chen Jiaming and Sydney Tan also contribute to various tracks.

A longing for home figures on the lyrics of many tracks, including My Old Hometown, Katong and Come Home. By mixing folk and contemporary music with local tunes and international rhythms, Notes from an Island also reflects the cultural diversity of Singapore as a home.

We are also aiming to raise S$50 000 from sales of Notes from an Island for Kidz Horizon Appeal, a charitable organisation that attends specifically to children who are suffering from chronic or terminal illness.

"Kidz Horizon Appeal aims to give children who are suffering from chronic or terminal illness a chance for another day. I'm glad that Vocaluptuous has taken the initiative to raise funds for us. Beyond the amount raised, I'm sure our kids will enjoy the music they make," said Caroline Low-Heah, Chairman of Kidz Horizon Appeal.

We would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to Barang Barang Pte Ltd, Anbros Industries (S) Pte Ltd and Donna Meyer for their generous sponsorship and belief in our music.

Notes from an Island (S$20) is available now at Barang Barang, and other good music stores.
