[專輯介紹]：

Charlotte Church is the self-titled second album, released in 1999, featuring the voice of the then 13-year-old soprano Charlotte Church. Church here tries out classical repertory with Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" and the "Jewel Song"--her pure and high-flying voice showing an amazing agility. There is great warmth in a couple of sacred songs, as well as the traditional Irish "She Moved Through the Fair." Church's vocal color--almost like a boy soprano at times--brings something unique to Gershwin's "Summertime," while the first track--Danny Beckerman's Hallmark-ish "Just Wave Hello"--was prominently featured in the global campaign for the Ford Motor Company, and Church's image was used to promote their lineup.

以天籟般美聲征服全球樂迷的英國美少女夏綠蒂，在98年以12歲的稚齡創下流行與古典樂壇上多項最YOUNG紀錄。在這個烈火青春，懵懂未來的青澀年華中，夏綠蒂才16歲時，已經為她全球創下2000萬銷售紀錄的傲人成就，作了最佳的見證。

締造“最暢銷古典女藝人”、“最暢銷之首張專輯”以及“史上最年輕的冠軍歌手”等空前紀錄的夏綠蒂，從英倫皇室一路到美國白宮的音樂會，合作對像從首席男高音多明戈，到流行新秀喬許、小比利，夏綠蒂在短時間內累積了無數的演唱經驗，先天過人的細緻嗓音，加上後天不斷磨練的技巧，夏綠蒂的成就，已經超越了一個16歲小女孩應有的作為，但這只是一個起點，未來的夏綠蒂會到達怎樣的一個顛峰狀態，沒有人能預言。這與目前市面上所有的精選輯，多為經典老團或團體解散作紀念的意義大為不同，她有人人讚嘆的才華，她有人人欽羨的青春，這正是夏綠蒂的魅力所在。

此專輯是1999年發行的同名第二張專輯，女高音夏綠蒂當時年僅13歲, 高吭的嗓音唱出了古典劇目Puccini的"O mio babbino caro"和"Jewel Song", 音樂劇Rossini的"La Pastorella", 美國作曲家和鋼琴家Gershwin的"Summertime, 更包括了一些聖詠和愛爾蘭民歌, 首典Danny Beckerman的"Just Wave Hello"更是用於福特汽車公司的全球推廣活動中。
