OUT NOW! CHLOE'S NEW CD 'LAUGHING HEART'
Laughing Heart is a response to the call of Oneness within every soul. These spiritual chants, mantras and songs dissolve separateness and fear, awakening a wisdom inside you, older and deeper than the polarity of all conflict. The simple recurring melodies have a healing impact that release tension, invoke deep stillness and unified awareness. They will impact your body and soul, inviting you to join in, or simply be still and receive, as an inner music unfolds. Listen to the CD as a whole, or place one chant on repeat. Both ways will deepen your contemplation and nourish your everyday life. Here at last are some long-awaited favourites, including Om Anandamayi and Sword & Flower and new, longer versions of old favourites (Heart Sutra, Gayatri & Om Tara).

So powerful is her combination of spirit with sound that choral performances directed by her are now becoming instrumental in international mediation initiatives, such as a recent visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Belfast, and other peace-making initiatives in Europe and the USA" -- Dr Scilla Elworthy, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and Niwano Peace Prize winner.

Reviews of 'Fierce Wisdom':
“This CD sets a new standard for vocal music. It is more than just the quality of the voice - it is the musical settings, as varied as the oceans and as vast as the sky.
The moods are all encompassing, as the songs burn, simmer, smolder, sing, swing and mine a tribal terrain that is at once deep and feminine and spiritual and just right. "Fierce Wisdom" is about chant, and yoga, and partnership, heart space and journeys of the soul...Inspired by the teachings of Indian saint Ananda Mayi Ma, "Fierce Wisdom," the third release from Chloë Goodchild, provides a series of invocations and prayers directed toward the Great Mother.
With this release, the vocalist's unique singing style is paired with world instruments, jazz elements and meditative atmospheres that provide a soothing, mindful listening experience. The diverse repertoire includes poetry from 13th century mystic Rumi (from Coleman Barks), improvisations by Goodchild, sutras, remixes and a variety of moods (longing, sadness, joy).
Of special note are the comforting "Om Tara" and "Gaia - Hymn to the Earth." Her superb ensemble of world musicians interweaves violin, saxophone, cello, piano, bass clarinet, guitars, five string banjo, and percussion galore. Chloë joins heaven and earth, opens the heart, grounds the spirit and transcends space and time.
Her chants to Tara, Kali, Gaia et al are sung as homage to humankind, inviting the listener to live with respect, honor, compassion and highest intent, and the music reflects this at every inspired turn. You won't want to miss a second of "Fierce Wisdom," so set aside the time and space to experience the intensity and spiritual wake up call in store for all those who take the trip.†-- LLoyd Barde, Backroads Music... home of the Heartbeats Catalog
Reviews of 'Devi':
"The richness, range, versatility, and beauty of Goodchild's voice is stunning! Every selection is a unique gem, capable of evoking goose-flesh, smiles, or tears... or all three at once. Treat yourself to this one!" -- Amazon Review
Reviews of 'Your Naked Voice':
"For more than two decades, Goodchild has helped thousands of people to access their wisdom and express their truth through the power of their sound. With Your Naked Voice, she presents a unique series of vocal exercises arising from Sanskrit syllables and mantras that allow listeners to safely explore the full range of their feelings ("wisdom voices"). From this foundation, Goodchild gently guides listeners to rediscover their natural, liberated voice, for a life full of awareness." -- OfSpirit.com (Recommended Product, May 2007)
"Work with her through interactive exercises, designed step by step to develop deep listening; sound out primal chakra vibrations; chant the Heart Sutra; learn the Saptaka, or seven sounds of love. Find your own vocal expression, free of self-consciousness, fear and judgement. Just listen, join in, or make this a part of your personal practice. There’s growth, self-confidence and personal alchemy amongst the possibilities to be experienced here. There’ll be some jaws drop at your next Kirtan group!" -- Australian Yoga Life
