The cast of Only Boys Aloud - the world’s biggest male choir - have unveiled a sampler of their highly-anticipated, up and coming debut album. You can check it out below.
Their eponymous debut lands on December 3rd via Relentless/Sony Records. The 141 strong choir from the Welsh Valleys are best known for achieving huge success on ITV1’s hit show Britain’s Got Talent, coming third in the final this year.
After OBA performed on ITV1’s prime time show Red or Black on Saturday, the album immediately went to #1 in the Amazon Movers and Shakers chart after a massive jump of 5,270% following the show!
The album sees the choir marry traditional Welsh songs with an impressive selection of choral versions of more contemporary tracks, including stirring takes on Coldplay’s classic track ‘Paradise’ and Take That’s ‘Never Forget’. A special Christmas edition of the album will also include six beautifully arranged versions of traditional festive numbers, including ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Pie Jesu’.
The record is brilliant but don’t take our word for it - check out the brand new sampler below. The boys also hit the road in April 2013, and play a number of December Christmas shows with their older counterparts Only Men Aloud.
