well I did let her manager know how much you proggers were enjoying it and I got a very nice reply as well.
I never ever thought I'd own anything by Charlotte Church but I do now. Thanks for the recommendation, I can't stop playing these EPs.
That perfectly conveys my thoughts as well,wwww!

OK, I thought maybe I was going a little overboard, because I can't stop playing these EPs. But, you guys are having the same problem, so that's good!
Check this one out, not on any of the EPs, yet...

life-time member here (raises hand) - I likes me a plush babe - just sayin
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
she has managed to convey a totally amazing voice with a bit of "oddball" and thats a hard trick to pull off! and she isnt even chubby at all! It reminds me a lot of Kate Bush in parts.
Yeah, Charlotte gets my vote for best new discovery of 2013. So fresh and genuinely adventurous while still retaining so many of the sensibilities and elements of what drew me to progressive music in the first place. Would love to see her come tour the US.

I wonder how her longtime fans have received this artsier side of her. I do like it and she does seem completely at home in that environment - so comfortable onstage as well that she kneels down onstage to play with her sequencer (or whatever she was using) to loop her voice through (in the above video).
and no, she isn't even chubby, she has hips and for some guys, that's chubby

From Youtube & amazon comments, most of her pop fans are generally confused by it, though I saw some really like it, others have trashed it as saying, "it doesn't work with her voice" and "where are the melodies?". One interview Charlotte commented that older people who like her "Voice Of An Angel" material, have been seen to walk out of her recent concerts, and her pop fans seem relatively receptive. Critics seem to be giving her high praise though, and Charlotte says the music isn't aimed at any particular age group / demographic.
She may lose some fans but she will gain a helluva load more I believe.!
Abraham Lincoln certainly got it right with his "You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time" treatise. I agree with Vicky.

How so?
These fans want the angelic / preteen Church and this isn't what she is delivering these days.
I was more interested in how this new music of hers will translate to more fans overall?

^ As she's a multi-millionaire ( http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/i5...te-church.html ), maybe she's not too worried how many fans she brings in!

It's questionable she will gain a larger audience than before, especially because she has no big label backing. She dropped her label and is releasing this new music on her own. From what I've been reading, she seems more interested in doing things her own way and making music she really enjoys, rather than seeking world domination. She's also sick to death of the tabloids recording every move in life she makes, and she dropped out of the limelight for 2 years prior to these recordings.
I find it pretty inspiring, though it is also true she has the money not to worry about sales too much. She can afford to go for a wild card musically. Yet, not if she's laughed at. It's still a big risk if people will take her seriously, and can produce really inspired music, no matter how much money she has.
I do though, take her seriously. Her music is much too inventive and interesting to think she's in over her head. Every song is a labor of a lot of very detailed work. I think this is the most progressive new music out there now, IMO. It'll be interesting watching to see where she goes with it. Thanks to 'Strawberry Brick' for introducing her to me!

You might find some other tracks of note in her previous releases. I've been listening to her since about 2006.
Yeah, I've poked around in it. Some of the stuff from "Back To Scratch" is kind of interesting. But I would be surprised if I liked anything from "Tissues & Issues", or earlier.
Excellent stuff - looks like she's doing what she wants, not what her public expect of her.
This reminded me of Amy X Neuburg:
I do genuinely think she will pick up new fans! indeed she has done so on here! What she needs is the PR that actually shows this new side. I guess so far it hasnt worried her that much--it may also be that she is happier to be low key. I would love to sign her.
I don't know why she gave up a great career in comedy! LOL!! Funny stuff.
Funny indeed ... love how her "Christmas fairy" voice is an American accent of indeterminate region - a bit like one of us statesiders affecting a "Monty Python" faux-British accent (except that she actually does it pretty well) ...
