Since beginning her career in musicals at the age of 7 in The King & I, Patrice Tipoki has made a number for herself in a number of high profile stage musicals including The Lion King (Nala) and Wicked (Elphaba). Although she is currently performing in the ongoing Australian production of Les Misérables, Tipoki is also set to launch her debut album on May 1st 2015.

Titled ‘A Musical Heart’, this album is set to feature songs from many of the hit musicals Tipoki has appeared in during her career Some of these songs include: Les Misérables – ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, Wicked – ‘Defying Gravity’, Beauty and the Beast – ‘Beauty and the Beast’, We Will Rock You – ‘Somebody to Love’, Westside Story – ‘Tonight’, The King & I – ‘Shall We Dance’, Anyone Can Whistle – ‘Anyone Can Whistle’, and Songs For a New World – ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anything’.

A Musical Heart also features guest vocalist Simon Gleeson, Patrice’s Les Misérables co-star, who joins her for a rendition of The Righteous Brothers classic ‘Unchained Melody’ from the musical Ghost. Singer Alex Boyé also duets with Patrice on The Lion King’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’.

Patrice Tipoki had this to say about the significance of every song on the album:

All bar one of these songs are from musicals I’ve been privileged to perform in. My voice may be a hybrid of music theatre, pop, R&B, soul and classical – you decide – but if nothing else, I hope you feel the heart that flows through these snippets from my journey in musicals so far.
