KATHERINE JENKINS: I’M NO BRITNEY
April 2nd, 2008 admin Posted in News |
Singing star Katherine Jenkins has said she will not turn into pop stars like Britney Spears, despite her classic albums having more of a pop flavour than in the past.
The Neath-born mezzosoprano once claimed she could never see herself singing pop songs but her most recent album, Rejoice, has shown she is now willing to branch out.
Rejoice features tracks by writers who usually contribute to albums by pop mega-stars Celine Dion, Westlife, and Justin Timberlake, but now it seems that Jenkins is ready to overcome her inhibitions to set her own pop standard.
“My music is getting closer to pop but it’s still not there, it’s still me,” the star said.
“I’m happy to take pop songs and sing them in my style, adapt them to my genre, but you are never going to see me being Britney.”
She admits that her sound is very accessible, but says she will always remain a classical girl at heart.
