Preview of Libera's "The Prayer" Video

Libera posted a message to their fans today - 

"A massive thank you to everyone who has preordered the CD and/or DVD in some shape or form. We can't wait for you to hear/see it. As a small token of our gratitude - here is a preview of 'Prayer' from our forthcoming album. We hope you like it."

Yes, we like it! In fact we love it! This song takes so much vocal control to sing, and Isaac's voice is so perfect and beautiful! We hear only one verse, and it just leaves you wanting more. But take heart fans. Just 5 more days until the CD/DVD are released! :D

Libera's Behind-the-Scenes Video

Just 1 more week until Libera's new DVD/CD are released! To get us even more excited about it, Libera has posted its "Behind-the-Scenes" video which is on the DVD!

There are so many cute moments on it. You can see them touring Washington DC, having fun getting ready for the concert, doing their sound check (where Isaac hits a high A, Matthew Madine sings that solo we've always wanted to hear, Lucas hits a high B-flat, and Sam sings a scale), and filming the concert. You'll also hear excerpts from many songs including the amazing climax of "Voca Me!!!!" Just brilliant! :D

Lucas - "Gel is being put onto my hair... Wow, now my hair smells very nice."

Shay - "He's clinging on to me."

Alex - "Exactly!"

Shay - "He likes clinging on to people."

I don't know what Isaac is saying, but it's hilariously funny anyway!

Filming

Cassius demonstrates. Ben - "We put on our coats backwards, 

so we don't get Orange Squash down our lovely, white robes."

Kavana - We're drinking." (Gives the look.) "Catch you later."

Ahahaha!

Gabe in his cute, quiet voice - "Before our concert we have some quiet time to save our voices."

  Proving once again that everything sounds better with a British accent. :D

Camden - "I'm feeling a bit nervous, because there's going to be 9 filming cameras."

Rocco - I'm feeling quite nervous, but I'm excited, too."

Eoghan with that smile the girls all love. :)

Filming

After the concert, Alessandro - "Lovely!!"

Timothy - "It was good!"

Ben, Eoghan, & Matthew J. I love seeing the big kids take care of the little kids.

DVD "Be Still My Soul" Preview Video

Just 10 more days until Libera's new DVD/CD "Libera In America" is released! Warner Classics posted a video preview of Libera's "Be Still My Soul" today. The cinematography is so beautiful. You can see each boy as the camera moves. The harmony parts are amazing on this song. The acoustics in the basilica lets you hear their parts so well. The only bad thing about this video is that it stops right before Tom starts to sing his high part. Wait til you hear it! Order your copy here. 10 more days!!! :D

Libera's New "What a Wonderful World" Music Video

Today is the day! Libera uploaded their new music video for "What a Wonderful World." You can see pictures and read about the making of the video here. It's a beautiful song with an equally beautiful solo by Isaac London. The setting is sad because the boys are acting out what it was like to be child laborers in 19th century England. At the end of the video it says, "Remembering the tragic victims of child labour in the past, and the many still suffering today." Thank you, Libera, for this touching song and video.

Even though the full album isn't out until March 3, you can buy this new song on iTunes now!
