14 year-old vocal sensation Jackie Evancho is set to release her new inspirational album "Awakening" on September 23, 2014. Preceding the album's release, Evancho has released a unique cover of the haunting folk song "The Rains of Castamere." The song can be heard from the hit HBO series Game of T,hrones. It was debuted on Yahoo.com and is now available via all digital service providers including iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Spotify.

"The Rains of Castamere," written by the Game of Thrones series creator George R.R. Martin (lyrics) and Ramin Djawadi (music), has been covered by indie rock bands The National and Sigur Ros - the latter appeared as the official band at the wedding between the late King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell. The song also appeared in the show's epic "Red Wedding" episode.

Evancho's "Awakening" will find her canvassing across a number of genres including Christian, classical, pop and adult contemporary. The album will find her delivering a stunning version of "Dormi Jesu." Evancho also sings a few original songs including the anthem "Take Me There" and "Open Fields of Grace," which were written especially for her.

Produced by Nick Patrick, "Awakening" also features an ethereal ballad "Memories" by the Dutch band, Within Temptation, and the popular classic "Think of Me" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. Rounding out the album are the classical standards "Ave Maria" and Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise." Says Evancho about "Awakening," "I feel that my singing style has matured, and it's easier for me to feel comfortable onstage." Evancho will be filming a new PBS pledge special that will air nationally in December and will be touring throughout the U.S. starting in November.
