Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Let's get one thing out of the way here: A Whole New World is not going to appeal to anyone that winces when they hear mawkish music. The album is, from that particular point of view, one very long, undiluted exercise in cheese. Those who do enjoy the unapologetic romance of love songs however, may well appreciate the languorous, soppy nature of this well-meaning charity album, which features well known hits like "Endless Love", "Cherish", "Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You" and "I've Had The Time Of My Life", and uptempo songs like "Islands In The Stream" and "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "The Two Of Us". Andre and Price never quite top the original versions, and though one or two – "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a glaring example - are risible by anyone's standards, most work reasonably well as modern covers. Oh, and despite rumours that Price is tone deaf and lacks range, she manages to hold her own here - though of course it's her versatile vocalist hubbie that steals the show.--Danny McKenna

STUNNING!,

This review is from: A Whole New World (Audio CD)
If you can imagine a soothing blend of jojoba oils, vanilla, and WD40 being poured into both ear holes simultaneously, then you will have only been able to scratch the surface of the feast of pleasure that is Katie And Pete's "A Whole New World" Album. Similar in it's ambition to Wagner's "ring cycle" but less German, "A Whole New World" is one of the best sound combinations that has ever been recorded. I also found the case very useful for replacing a tile that had been missing in my bathroom for the past two and a half years. A TRIUMPH!
*ESPECIALLY SUITABLE FOR THOSE WITH TILED BATHROOMS*

It had to happen,

This review is from: A Whole New World (Audio CD)
With hindsight it is plain to see that the effort expended in creating this wonderful record exhausted the reservoirs of love within these twinned laureates.
Now the world enters into a period of mourning, a time of grief, an evaluation of loss. We as mortal humans know that everything must come to an end, but when something as beautiful as the love that these two shared so publicly is lost, it can be easy to turn inwards, to forget that as Wendy Craig so memorably crooned, 'Love is like a Butterfly'. Not all things can last forever -- some things are just too beautiful, too delicate to survive for long And in the bleak times that surely follow, we can no longer rely on these star-crossed lovers to brighten our ordinary non-celebrity lives - but we still have the things that they left behind. This record stands for something beyond music - it is a totem of innocent love before it was broken. It is a reminder of how we all felt when we first fell in love. We still use it in the Accident and Emergency ward at work as an alternative anaesthetic; it's cheap, and it renders the unsuspecting patient motionless and numbed. Thankyou Peter and Katie. For everything.
