Hi all,
I don't know if any of you have visited Zoe Mace's Myspace page recently, but her recording of "Tears In Heaven" is probably the best version of this beautiful song that I've ever listened to. The tune is included in her upcoming CD, "Once Upon a Time", due for release November 19. Zoe's mom, Linda, says that as beautiful as Zoe's rendition is of Tears In Heaven is, there are other works on the CD just as good or better. I can't wait to purchase it!
Best, Gene

Hi Gene,
I certainly agree.
A really beautiful song and a fantastic singer.
One would never guess she's only 12.
I'll certainly buy the new CD.
Haven't found any pre-release offers anywhere yet.
Paddy

Dear Friends I am soo sorry I have been away so long, but releasing a CD is very time consuming and there is so much to do!!! Well here is all the news with the release and a Zoe's request to carry on her charity work!! For those of you in the UK Zoe will be featured in Hello Magazine next week. As many of you know my daughter Zoë Mace, now 12 years old has recorded her third classical album this year titled "Once Upon A Time" which is due to be released nationwide on 19th November 2007. However, for those of you who would rather purchase your copy on the internet we have set up a pre-order site which will deliver the album to your door, please click on the following link: www.townsend-records.co.uk/artist.php?artist=Zoe+Mace The album has been Produced by Andy Whitmore, Arranged by John Pickup, Vocal Arrangements by Sophie Jugé Includes an original master piece by Ben Heaney. And Published by Espresso Songs Track Listings as follows: to hear a collection of samples from this list please visit www.myspace.com/zoeannemace 1. Tears in Heaven 2. Habanera 3. Time to Say Goodbye - Duet with NZ tenor Geoff Sewell 4. Nessun Dorma 5. Ah Je Veux Vivre 6. Somewhere 7. Una Farfalla Deve Volare - by Ben Heaney 8. The Doll Song 9. You’ll Never Walk Alone 10. Voi Che Sapete 11. O Mio Babbino Caro 12. Danny Boy PLEASE READ................... Those of you who have followed Zoë's music career will know that Zoë's previous albums have been in aid to raise much needed funds for charities connected with her sister Jodie. To date Zoë has raised in excess of £120,000. So when Zoë's album was completed she had mixed emotions as this had been produced as her debut album into the music world and not to raise money for charity. A very concerned Zoë asked her father and me, who funded the project, if this could be changed as Zoë wanted to continue her quest by using her talent to help others. Wanting to keep a connection with her sister Jodie, Zoë suggested helping family friend Rosa Monckton to raise both awareness and much needed funds for her charity Downside Up. Downside Up improves the quality of Russian children who have Down Syndrome. 70% of children born with Down Syndrome in Moscow go into orphanages. And of that 70% over 10% will die before they are 3 – from neglect!! Downside Up provides an early intervention and integration centre in Moscow. They also help, advise, inform, train and educate parents, while working closely with state officials and medical professionals throughout Russia. There is huge work still to be done. When Zoë read this she was horrified!! So Zoë came up with the idea of offering the track “Tears in Heaven” as a download to the public with all the proceeds going directly to Downside Up. “Tears in Heaven” was the perfect choice as Zoë recorded the Eric Clapton classic as a dedication to her sister Jodie, who had Downs Syndrome and died nearly 3 years ago during heart surgery. The download will be available with a bonus track of "She moved through the Fair" from Zoë's first album "Little Ray of Light" which is no longer available on the 12th November, (full details of how to show your support will be sent to you next week) Rosa was delighted with Zoë’s generous gesture and commended her on continuing with her unselfish mission to improve the lives of others more unfortunate then herself. But for those people who know Zoë, this is not unusual behaviour. Of course Zoë is hoping that her album "Once Upon A Time" will be successful and make it to the top of the classical charts, but more importantly that "Tears in Heaven" gives hope and much needed support to the Downs children of Russia!! Thank you for reading this and supporting my daughter!! Love to all Linda xxxx |

Hi Paddy and many thanks for the information. This is one CD that I must have. There are so many talented young singers performing these days. However, only a handful are truly exceptional. Zoe is in that category, in my view. Linda has every right to be so very proud of Zoe. In fact, I'm proud of her too! Regards, Gene |

At only 12 years old, she has already done more for charity than most people do in a lifetime! I look forward to following Zoe's career as the years go by. I can't wait to see where her talent and her caring take her! Best always, Gene |

Hi All, I could have posted this in th GMTV thread, but in a way I think this is the more appropriate thread. With permission by Linda, I can now present you with a download link to the promotional video Tears in Heaven. This is an extraordinary moving rendition of the song. And I think the video is of exceptional professional quality! Linda has indicated she would like to give the charity download for Tears in Heaven as much publicity as possible! www.zoe-mace-international.com/clips/O07a/tears_in_heavens_showcase.wmvGerrit |

Gerrit - Thank you for posting this video. It is breathtaking. Ever since I heard Zoe's version of the song I couldn't stop listening to it. She has matured a lot in vocal performance and her ability to feel a song and this video shows her maturity. I really like how they decided to use fasions from decades past. Thanks again Gerrit.  <3 Caitlin |

Great stuff Gerrit,
Zoe's a fine young girl & a beautiful singer.
Her love for her sis. is very moving.
I had no idea that downes syndrome people were ostrasized in Russia.
No real evidence of that in this country I'm happy to say.
Hard enough for the parents without that as well !!!
Graeme

I loved Zoe's version of this beautiful song the very first time that I listened to it, a few months ago. According to Linda, there are other songs on Zoe's new CD equally as impressive. Gene |
