Our Take

Katherine Jenkins, the operatic darling of the masses, has compiled her "Ultimate Collection" of tracks in one convenient package. But does this greatest hits offering truly encapsulate the best of the Welsh songbird? From the first track, Jenkins's powerful vocals soar over sweeping orchestrations, with each note seemingly crafted by angels themselves. But despite her undeniably impressive vocal range, there is a sense of sameness to many of the tracks. Jenkins delivers each song with the precision of a seasoned professional, but at times, it feels as if she is holding back, afraid to fully let loose and take risks. That being said, there are moments of brilliance scattered throughout the album. "Time to Say Goodbye" is a standout track, showcasing Jenkins's ability to convey emotion with every note. And her rendition of "Hallelujah" is nothing short of breathtaking, with Jenkins's voice reaching heights that will send shivers down your spine. Overall, "The Ultimate Collection" is a mixed bag. Jenkins's talent is undeniable, but there is a lack of real innovation and experimentation that leaves the listener wanting more. While fans of the classical crossover genre will no doubt find something to love in this compilation, those looking for something truly groundbreaking may need to look elsewhere. But hey, at least it's not another generic pop album, right?
