Singer and voice teacher Noel, a Lynnfield resident, has released this new single. Check it out.
Since going online in late 2010, this website has checked in on a couple of occasions with Noel Smith, a professional singer and voice teacher who has released several albums and has also had her work appear in horror movies and video game soundtracks.

Lynnfield Patch recently had the opportunity to check in with Noel Smith, a professional singer who has found some unique niches for herself, such as video games and Christmas songs. Last December, this website interviewed Noel about the Christmas album she had just released, featuring the song "Wish You Were Here." More recently, Noel and Michael DiMattia, who grew up in Lynnfield and now lives in Reading, have collaborated on a new re-mix of the single.
