Katie Price & Peter Andre – A Whole New World (2006)

Let's get one thing out of the way here: A Whole New World is not going to appeal to anyone that winces when they hear mawkish music. The album is, from that particular point of view, one very long, undiluted exercise in cheese. Those who do enjoy the unapologetic romance of love songs however, may well appreciate the languorous, soppy nature of this well-meaning charity album, which features well known hits like "Endless Love", "Cherish", "Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You" and "I've Had The Time Of My Life", and uptempo songs like "Islands In The Stream" and "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "The Two Of Us". Andre and Price never quite top the original versions, and though one or two "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a glaring example - are risible by anyone's standards, most work reasonably well as modern covers. Oh, and despite rumours that Price is tone deaf and lacks range, she manages to hold her own here - though of course it's her versatile vocalist hubbie that steals the show.--Danny McKenna
