 Charlotte: wrote most of the songs on her album |
She's known for having the voice of an angel - but Charlotte Church's singing career is taking a new direction.
She's recently left classical music behind for pop, with a new album: Tissues and Issues, and is about to follow that with a single.
The new album includes pop anthems, Motown inspired tracks and heartfelt ballads.
Charlotte co-wrote seven of the 12 tracks on the new album which were recorded in London, Atlanta and New Orleans.
The decision to move away from her classical roots was entirely natural says the 19 year old.
"I've grown up" says Charlotte, "My taste in music has always been the broadest of anyone I know, and it is always changing".
