The gift bestowed upon Charlotte Church is a phenomenal one. Her voice can stop you in your tracks as it raises the hairs on your entire body. Enchantment is another step in the direction of proving that the prodigy isn’t just going to be forgotten.
There is a plethora of works out there for Church to cover. Enchantment finds her taking on many show tunes from West Side Story, Show Boat and South Pacific. Her ease and power take the songs to heights not previously reached. Even if the songs are unknown to you, it’s not at all impossible to be taken over and entrapped by her virtuosity.
Charlotte takes “La Habanera” to task. It’s fantastic. “Carrickfergus” really opens her for a longer, more expressive road. “The Water Is Wide” leaves the future forever broadened. It’s the uncertainty of Church’s path that keeps everyone coming back. That, and the fact that her voice is beyond belief. Although Church is growing up, there is no less desire in her voice or in your ears.
