Notes from an Island
Vocaluptuous’ new album, entitled Notes from an Island, presents a collection of songs in English, Mandarin and Malay, inspired by the familiar sights, sounds, colours and culture of Singapore. The cohesive yet eclectic range of tunes showcases the trademark versatility of the home-grown group, blending jazz-infused pop, gospel, barbershop, and more. A longing for home figures on the lyrics of many tracks, including My Old Hometown, Katong and Come Home. Respected names on the local music scene feature heavily on the album. These include original songs and arrangements by popular local names such as Dick Lee, Peter Lee, John Lee, Ruth Ling, Chen Jiaming and Sydney Tan. The album is retailing at S$20 at selected stores.

Vocaluptuous
5 men and a woman with voluptuous vocals provide the sound that is uniquely Vocaluptuous. A favorite with a cappella fans here with its upbeat contributions to the aka a cappella cds; Vocaluptuous has an eclectic repertoire of songs in the genres of funk and soul, with the odd sprinkle of pop and jazz. Among the first to incorporate vocal percussions in a big way, they continue to push the borders of a cappella, now integrating choreographed dance into their performances. Their biggest blend of these elements of music and dance came in their musical "We Don't Dance" in the year 2000.
