Going back to her classical roots

TALK about living the dream. Ten years in and British mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins' nine studio albums have gone platinum and sold over eight million copies worldwide, she's sung for the Queen of England and become Britain's classical crossover sweetheart.

But now, she's ready to return home with her 10th album, incidentally titled Home Sweet Home and recorded at the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

"I wanted to go back and do something that was more in line with my classical roots, something that was more like my first few albums," she explains. "I also went back to the original team and record label which I worked with when I was still a schoolteacher so it's like I've done a full circle and gone home!"
