The 16th track is definitely Amazing Grace, perhaps a live recording of the one she performed on the Alan T. show.
The 15th one seems to be the same as the 1st one, which is most likely Whispers in a Dream.
Wonder why they get the same song twice...
Perhaps in a different language, or simply different arrangement?

You're not paying attention, Dennis.  As I posted on the previous page, we think it's most likely the special Ennio Morricone track in Japanese that we'd heard about before. So we assume, and are pretty sure, it's Whispers in a Dream in Japanese. And I do think Amazing Grace will be a new recording, hopefully with some in Japanese. As much as I enjoy her duet with Minako Honda, I'm dying to hear her sing it by herself. And have it on CD. Remember the photo Hayley tweeted of herself recording some songs not too long ago? This may be what she was recording, unless it was the charity single(s). |

Yes, that is a gorgeous album cover! I'm glad to see they're not just leaving the title as just Hayley sings Ennio Morricone. That's not quite as poetic.  P.S. I notice that Amazon Japan are showing 16 tracks and a running time of 67 minutes. CDJapan showed the same thing on May 6th when I posted it. Nice to know people are reading my posts. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Hey, check this out: Amazing Grace - Inori no Utagoe Release Date: 2011/06/01 www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UCCS-3043Looks to me like a single of the track on the main releases. It gives us a clue as to what this track will be like too. Most likely partly in Japanese.  |

Hi Libby, This is the cover of the album you found:  Who knows which version of Amazing Grace is on that one? At any rate, there is a review on HMV Japan which indicates that Whispers in a Dream has been recorded with Japanese lyrics and Amazing Grace has been re-recorded with English and Japanese lyrics. I think it will be just like the version Hayley sang on the Alan Titchmarsh show. www.hmv.co.jp/en/news/article/1104300001/Cheers, Jillian |

Hi Libby and Jillian,
This sounds to me like a compilation of various versions of Amazing Grace. If you look a little way down under credits it lists various artists as follows:-
It seems a little strange to me. I cannot recall another album of different versions of the same song.

Oh, I thought it would be like the single album they did for her duet with Minako Honda. I still think her version will be a new one with Japanese lyrics, on both this and the Paradiso albums (Jap. versions, of course).

Both versions are being shown as imports on Amazon US. Interestingly, it shows the release as June 21st. Is that just because it's an import, or could the release date have been changed?

Wow, lovely Amazing grace recording, I'm yet to listen to the rest XD And lovely cover pic! I like it ALOT!
EDIT: Listened to all tracks, and compared the La Califfa version second by second by playing both, and indeed it's different D:, and the difference is...
.
.
.
As opposed to what she said in the interview about recording the orchestration and voice on the same volume (which was how the NZ version was), here....I clearly notice the orchestration at a lesser volume and her voice projected just like her older albums : D I think this is great news for those who haven't bought the NZ CD and didn't like her voice being on the same level of the orchestration.....
OR
It could be the .wax file format XD....
But I'm sure whatever it is, her voices is really very clearly projected in these samples....
EDIT: I'm 100% sure this is what is done, after doing the same with Da Quel....Maybe it's just me but I find her voice more clearer too without much echo behind....Japanese people are lucky XD....so basically I'm thinking the NZ release (so early) was just to listen to all the comments and reviews and make corrections accordingly to fix the mentioned claims XD...
EDIT!: What file format is this .wax .wvx! I downloaded the video it was 1kb, dl'ed so fast....and played for quite a length! New technology XD

I agree Simba, I like the cover better than the NZ/UK/US one!  Dori |

Me too! I forgot to mention that I like it better! It seems to have less photo editing work I guess XD....More natural-looking.

New technology XD Hi Simba, Yes it's nice to hear the longer samples than they had in NZ, and an extract from the Whispers in A dream promotional video!  The audio is normal Windows Media Audio and the video is Windows Media Video - the .wax and .wvx files are text files containing 'playlist' links to the main audio and video files, they contain no actual audio or video themselves, which is why they are so small. Cheers, Dave |

Hi Simba,
Yes, they tell your browser and Windows media Player where on the net to find the actual audio and video files.
