 Over the Rainbow is the debut album of child singer Connie Talbot , and was released 26 November 2007 by Rainbow Recording Company . Most of the album 's recording was done in a spare room in the house of Talbot 's aunt , in an attempt to preserve her childhood by not interrupting her regular activities . Although initially public appearances were kept to a minimum , Talbot did make appearances to promote the album , and performed in public several times after the British release . It received poor reviews from critics and peaked at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart . Despite this , additional copies of the album had to be pressed after sales were higher than expected . She later toured Asia in support of the album . Over the Rainbow achieved more success on the Asian charts , reaching number one in Taiwan , South Korea and Hong Kong .
