- HONG KONG: British singer Katherine Jenkins says her eighth album will mark a return to her classical roots, after collaborating with famed pop producer David Foster on her previous release.
- Jenkins told the Associated Press on the sidelines of her first solo Asian tour on Monday that the new release will feature a mix of classical, folk and musical numbers.
She said, "I don't like to always follow the obvious path. I like to change direction every now and again. And I feel like it's time to make a classical album." Jenkins performed with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong on Sunday. Her next performance will be with the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday.
