With the haunting acoustics of an empty chapel, the talented sounds of Beth Ford's rendition of "Pie Jesu" are so pitch perfect that she will warp you back hundreds of years.
It all started when Beth's mother asked her to sing for her. They walked into the nearly empty church and, with no warm up, no preparation, and no accompaniment, Beth began to sing. [Photo Credit: Nikki Lewis Photography]
What one YouTube commentator said summed it all up:
"Your voice is flying like a bird in the skies. A sound from Heaven…"
The 14-year-old grew up in a family whose singing roots blended church choirs along with the harmonies from the Welsh Valleys. Beth has been described as a child who was singing before she could form words, cooing along as a happy baby to her favorite singer, Andrea Bocelli.
It's her humble attitude and down to earth nature that makes her sound so appealing and approachable. Her ability to capture the basic essence of the song she's performing, breaking it down to its most intimate levels, seem as if this is a gift bestowed upon her from an otherworldly power.
Her voice crosses all generations, all time periods, and all languages; and she makes it seem so easy! Beth has recently recorded an original track which she plans on releasing this summer, make sure to check out her website for a free download!
Her genuine approach to music has drawn thousands to listen to her mesmerizing performance, and it's pretty obvious that with talent like that, this is a singer that we have not heard the last of, and thankfully so!
What do you think about Beth's incredible talent? Don't you wish you were in the church that day?
Please SHARE her incredible voice with all of your friends and family!
