Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Reviews
After carving a somewhat lucrative niche as a classical crossover artist, award-winning Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins has seemingly gone "pop" for her fifth album, "Rejoice". Fans can relax, however. Far from attempting a Charlotte Church-style reinvention, Jenkins manages to slide gently and mellifluously into the world of popular music, retaining her trademark operatic vocal style and smooth, unruffled coherence throughout. The slightly arbitrary tracklisting on "Rejoice" mixes up music-theatre standards, modern pop and new material; Seal’s "Kiss From a Rose" nestles comfortably next to evergreens such as "Somewhere" (from West Side Story), classics like Shirley Bassey’s "I Who Have Nothing" and new tracks written by the likes of Steve Mac (Westlife, Toni Braxton), Take That’s Gary Barlow and Simon Franglen (Céline Dion, The Bee Gees). Of these, Barlow’s lush "Viva Tonight" is a highlight, though all are competent enough to add a convincing contemporary veneer to the collection. Far from selling out to the pop market with "Rejoice", Jenkins has made pop fit into with her own inimitable style. --Danny McKenna

Description
One-woman classical crossover cottage industry Jenkins follows 2006's 'Serenade' with this, her fifth album in as many years. While on this release she continues to tackle pieces from the classical repertoire and "classicized" renditions of pop standards, it also sees her developing more of a pop sound, with big production numbers sung in English, includingtwo songs written specifically for her by Take That's Gary Barlow.

5.0 out of 5 stars What next for Katherine?, 2 Dec 2007
By Shaun N4 (London) - See all my reviews
Even though the new album has generated mixed feelings from many people, I feel that the new album shows the potential for Katherine to move from being a classical crossover artist (though I hate that moniker) to someone that could challenge the so called new "divas". Compared to the U.K's current number 1 album (which I have), Katherine demonsrates more emotion and feeling in a single song than the current No 1 album (2 Dec 07) has in its entirity.
Rejoice shows Katherine's voice off well, though the mix of "pop" and cross-over classical does not always fit well. The mix of songs is understandable considering the demands made on artists to appeal the most listeners possible. Even so, the album is worth every penny and shows the huge potential for Katherine Jenkins as a singing star.

3.0 out of 5 stars I think Katherine has gone too much in the pop direction now, 16 Nov 2007
By Kelly Smith (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
After hearing a snippet or two of her forthcoming album, I just felt I had to say that in my humble opinion, Katherine has gone too far in the pop direction with this 5th album. Getting to a 5th album must feel amazing, but perhaps the record company has pushed her too hard to try and appeal to the broader public - I don't think that makes sense. As many will also feel, Katherine is blessed with a rich mezzo voice, which really stirs emotion in her lower range. Applying this sumptuous voice to a more popera or pop-like repertoire seems a mistake to me. Her voice always sounds too low, where as in her previous classical tracks, it fits just fine. I don't know why this is, but it comes accross very strongly.

Katherine is a beautiful, talented girl, with a stunning voice. Let's not cheapen her with an attempt to bring her to the general public - she has a large and loyal fanbase (myself included), but we need to be kept with her based on the musical sound she created for us. Taking her in a pop direction, only serves to isolate the very people that loved her sound to start with. I look forward to Katherines "Viva la Diva" tour, which will be stunning I'm sure. She is just so lovely, and a UK institution, please don't cheapen her any further.
