Topic: Katherine Jenkins
The first six years of Katherine Jenkins career have already been extraordinary in every sense of the word. Under the stewardship of producer David Foster (credited with the careers of Josh Groban, Michael Buble and most recently Seal's comeback) made her most ambitious album to date. Katherine spent the spring of 2009 in LA at Foster's studio, recording 'Believe', the seventh album of her phenomenal career. Together they have produced a record of epic proportions that is set to take Katherine to new heights of success around the world. With a broad mix of contemporary and traditional repertoire the record not only delivers for existing fans but will also broaden her audience across the globe. From the haunting Sarah McLachlan song, 'Angel', through to a stunning working of 90's Evanescence's 'Bring Me To Life', the mezzo soprano's unique vocal interpretations bind seamlessly with Foster's arrangement and production. The album also features a duet with award-winning tenor Andrea Bocelli. ‘I Believe’, arranged by Foster himself, is a tender operatic ballad which unites Jenkins and Bocelli on record for the first time. In addition to the October 26 release of the ‘Believe’ album, Jenkins will embark on an 11 date UK arena tour in March 2010.

Once upon a time, there was only one attractive
Welsh operatic
singer who appealed to the masses and her name was Charlotte Church.
Yet since Charlotte forsook the classical world to become an RnB
diva, the rather gorgeous face of Katherine Jenkins has very easily
slipped into her place.
Jenkins is possessed of not just media-friendly good looks, but a
truly beautiful voice - she's also been fortunate that her rise has
coincided with an explosion in popularity of light classical music
such as G4, Il Divo and Hayley Westenra, and her obligatory
appearances at every football cup final in Cardiff's Millennium
Stadium has also helped to raise her profile no end.
