Charlotte Church is to try to revive her chart career - but admits she is “scared” of returning to the scene.
Charlotte - who was most recently seen as a judge on BBC1’s “Over the Rainbow” - will release her first pop album in five years before the end of the year.
Miss Church has revealed the title track of her new LP - and next single - “Back to Scratch” has new resonance following the break-up of her relationship with rugby star Gavin Henson.
Charlotte has pointed out, “It became the perfect song for my situation, so I sing it with a lot of conviction.”
What the news fails to highlight is that this will, actually, only be Church’s second pop CD. I hope she has better songwriters on board, this time, than she did on her debut. Her most well-known song, “Crazy Chick”, left a lot to be desired. The lyrics rhymed “therapy” with “PhD” while the music would’ve suited her voice better in a higher key!
Charlotte is undoubtedly a very attractive woman, and reasonably talented, but whether or not the record is musically challenging remains to be seen. I look forward to hearing it later in the year. In the meantime, if she’s looking for someone new to scratch her back…

...or someone to rub her front...?! I wish her well but am dubious about her having a successful pop career. Her voice, I think, is too good - if that's possible - and would be better suited to something more highbrow. Never thought I'd say that but she needs to aim for the niche market she already has kudos in.
Any part she likes! You're right about her voice. It's better suited to what she was singing before. Sadly, she desperately wants to appear cool. I wouldn't mind seeing her give "Doctor Who" a go. Every other female singer's been in it, after all.
She's a minor car crash...talented in one area, but determined to play in another...such a shame...her mum should have slapped her. Oh I think she did!
Don't think slapping is a good idea, Nota Bene, but a little spanking wouldn't hurt!
