Sydney, AU. (SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) -- Individually, they are unquestionably four of the most popular young singers in the country; together as Young Divas, Kate DeAraugo, Rick-Lee Coulter,
Paulini and Emily Williams are unstoppable! To the joy of their army of fans, their debut self-titled album will arrive in stores this Saturday, November 18, jam-packed to the gills with 12 of the girls' fave dance floor anthems, all stamped with those trademark succulent Divas vocals. Take your first listen here in our exclusive album preview...
Get ready people, because the soundtrack to Summer 2006 is almost here! Yep, the fabulous Young Divas - Kate DeAraugo, Rick-Lee Coulter, Paulini and Emily Williams - will release their self-titled debut this Saturday, November 18, stuffed with classic dancefloor anthems, disco burners and pop ballads from their own personal favourite divas, all served with a new twist.
Together, the four distinctive vocal styles of Kate, Ricki-Lee, Emily and Paulini produce an incredibly powerful and beautiful sound. Most importantly, though, the Young Divas debut album is all about one thing. Fun!
"It's a fun, dancey record," says Ricki-Lee. "All songs that we all love. If they came up in a club, you'd get up and have a boogie. I would, anyway."
"I'd probably go to the beach and pump it up in my car," suggests Emily. "You can just be happy, run around and do the splits."
"Every song is divided evenly between all four of us," Kate explains. "None of it is a solo vibe."
"It's a group thing," continues Ricki-Lee. "So the whole album is not about us being soloists and singing a song each. The songs just show off all of us together. Different songs suit different voices. Songs like Woman In Love suit Paulini's beautiful voice. With Emily, those high notes she hits are massive. Her voice just cuts through. It's like, 'Whitney who?' Then me and Kate are more about screaming down the house."
"They've got speakers in their throats," laughs Paulini.
So what to expect? Get ready to hear Irene Cara's 'What A Feeling', Barbra Streisand's 'Woman In Love', Jennifer Rush's 'Power Of Love', as well as the Young Divas' hot new single, 'Happenin' All Over Again', originally a hit for US dance diva Lonnie Gordon. Then there's 'Right About Now', made famous through the TV commercial for Australian Idol, and of course, the smash 'This Time I Know It's For Real' - one of the biggest pop hits of the year - which has rocketed past Platinum sales and spent an incredible 14 weeks in the Australian Top 10.
So get ready for fun, to sing along, get down and boogie... this is the Young Divas self-titled debut album, a collection of some of the most popular songs of the '80s sung by four of the most popular young singers in the land, and we bet you're going to like it.
