Info for Sound Of Strength

“This is the first time an artist has truly engaged in the science of music and fitness. My sequencing of tracks for the album was based on a detailed analysis of how music makes you feel and the optical musical qualities for a wide variety of physical activities and mental preparation” -(Dr. Costas Karageorghis, Reader In Sport Psychology, Department Of Life Sciences, Brunel University London).

24-year-old mezzo-soprano Laura Wright has become a leading figure for the fusion of music and sport. Not only is she is regular at major sporting events and official anthem singer for the English Rugby Team, but following her EP release earlier this year, Laura has announced her upcoming album, Sound Of Strength, to be released on Decca Records on 15th September coinciding with her opening performance at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games of her first self penned track Invincible.

In what is turning into a landmark year for the Suffolk born singer, Laura’s love of sport and passion for music have combined to a create a one of a kind proposition. Laura has taken her classical music to a new level with tracks including Puccini’s Nessun Dorma and Barber’s Adagio for Strings, arranged herself and melded to driving beats, with the help of producers Starkey (who has worked with composer Einaudi), Killahurtz and Dan Vinci (who has worked with everyone from Skream, Snoop Dogg and Jesse Ware).

Doing so, she created a new sound, which melds beauty and power to startling affect.

“The concept behind the album is that the body is the ultimate instrument. Sound Of Strength fuses sound, rhythm both sonically and emotionally” (Laura Wright)

Laura Wright
With over a million album sales under her belt, Laura Wright has been one of the biggest selling classical artists this decade.

Laura was the first mezzo soprano to perform at the Olympic Stadium, has toured with tenors Alfie Boe and Russell Watson and opened the iTunes Festival for Andrea Bocelli. She has enjoyed many performances at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Opera House Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, The O2, Twickenham Stadium, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, even The Great Wall of China, and is still only 24 years old.

After a dramatic Red Arrows flypast, Laura was the first to perform at the opening ceremony for HRH Prince Harry’s Invictus Games where she debuted a new piece she wrote “Invincible”, taken from her album Sound Of Strength. Laura’s show stopping performance resulted in the mezzo-soprano being the talk of the concert, gracing the front page of the Daily Telegraph the following day.

As a royal favourite, HM The Queen cited Laura’s Diamond Jubilee Song ‘Stronger As One’ in her Commonwealth Day Message at Westminster Abbey where the song was premiered and secured a No1 chart position on Gary Barlow’s Sing EP. Laura enjoyed the privilege of performing more times for Her Majesty than any other artist that year.

This album contains no booklet.
