VICTORIA HART

Today I was lucky enough to catch up with singer extrodinaire Victoria Hart. Victoria shot to fame last year when she sang to George Clooney & Brad Pitt on board the Ocean's 13 yacht in Cannes.

Now she is back with a really unique album out on 27 October 2008, that sees her paying homage to the jazz era of the 20s and has her tipped as the new 'Forces Sweetheart' as she is in talks to possibly go out and perform to the troops in Afghanistan next year!

The new album ' The Lost Gershwin,' is a collection of rare Gershwin manuscripts that have laid undiscovered since WWII.

Though George Gershwin was a prolific writer, not all of his tunes became standards. This collection, including songs never before recorded in this country, shows there are still Gershwin gems waiting to be discovered.

Guests include Russell "The Voice" Watson, Revelation (stars of "The Last Choir Standing" TV Show), critically acclaimed jazz artist Atila and MOBO nominee Tony Kofi.

The arrangements and style mark a new departure for 19 year old Victoria, whose brand of "swing pop" has attracted many admirers since her career began in earnest less than 18 months ago. This is her second full album and her most challenging musical enterprise to date.
