"One Voice, One Heart", the charity single recorded by various Christian Artists to raise money for the victims of last years Tsunami disaster, was released last week.

Audio and video clips are available from the single's website OneVoiceOneHeart.com. The single can also be bought from the Digital Download site, 7digital.com.
