| As well as playing all over the world, getting to know fans via webchats and performing with the likes of Pavarotti, Charlotte Church has also found time to record her stunning fourth album. Entitled Enchantment it offers a wide taste of diverse musical styles: think eclectic pop songs alongside Broadway musical hits and classical melodies nestling next to Celtic ballads. Produced by Keith Thomas, who's also worked his magic for the likes of Barbara Streisand and Brian McKnight, Enchantment also boasts guest appearances from renowned flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook and Charlotte's longtime accompanist, harpist Rhodri Davis. "This album is very different from what's come before," Charlotte explains. "I really wanted to try a lot of different things, but at the same time give my audience what they've come to expect from me."

Includes liner notes by Charlotte Church. | | In an era when most teen singers find fame by aiming squarely at the contemporary R&B/pop nexus a la Britney Spears, young vocal phenomenon Charlotte Church took an unusual path to success, moving between the worlds of classical music and old-school popular song stylings. ENCHANTMENT, Church's most pop-oriented release to date, focuses on the Great American Songbook, as the singer lends her voice to the compositions of greats like Hammerstein/Kern ("'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man") and Bernstein/Sondheim ("Tonight"). The young lady's angelic voice lends a lighter-than-air quality to these standards, and the lush orchestrations provide the sonic equivalent of fluffy pillows for the singer to lounge upon while she croons with seeming effortlessness. A syncopated run through "Habanera" serves to remind listeners of Church's operatic prowess, always lurking just around the corner, but ENCHANTMENT is first and foremost a pop record. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Q (12/01, p.129)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...An album dominated exclusively by full-throttle ballads, some classical, some Celtic, some from Broadway. The 15-year-old remains, of course, in illustrious voice..." |
