An album featuring the voices of more than 5,000 children has been released to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and present day heroes.
Donations from the sale of Smile, recorded by Voice in a Million, will be go to The British Forces Foundation and The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust.
Voice in a Million is committed to raising awareness of the very real need for adoptive and foster families in the UK and this their first album is largely inspired by the imagination of the children participating in the project. When asked for ideas on how to ensure the project continues to bring attention to those less fortunate children who are alone - several of the young singers in the choir pointed out that the reality of war, often can result in children being orphaned or separated from their birth parents.
“The album features evocative wartime and contemporary songs, to commemorate the 70 Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and our present day heroes - those brave young men and women fighting a very different war in Afghanistan,” said a Voice in a Million spokesman.
“The album features not only 5,350, members of the choir but also solos from a number of talented singers that will send goose-bumps down the spines of listeners upon its release."
