    Jonathan & Charlotte - Perhaps Love: an album guide

    What's in store on the BGT duo's hotly anticipated second album? Explore a selection of love songs - and a few Christmassy tunes thrown in to put you in a good mood!

    1. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      1. Perhaps Love

      Written by John Denver, Perhaps Love was originally recorded as a duet between him and Placido Domingo. Jonathan and Charlotte liked the song so much they've named their entire album after it, telling the story with every word.

    2. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      2. (Arms of an) Angel

      "It's such a poignant, beautiful song." At least, that's how Jonathan described it, and we're inclined to agree. Putting their unique spin on a song performed by Sarah McLachlan and Josh Groban, Jonathan and Charlotte display their talent for a range of styles.

    3. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      3. Santa Lucia

      It's the first solo from Jonathan on the album, so expect some belting tenor notes and some passionate vocals. He first performed it at secondary school - where he first started lessons with singing partner Charlotte and the duo was born.

    4. Jonathan and Charlotte

      4. Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

      Citing Andrew Lloyd Webber as one of her favourite composers, Charlotte takes on this moving piece from Phantom of the Opera as her first solo. Expect tug-at-the-heartstrings cello solos and thick string accompaniment to accompany Charlotte's soprano tones.

    5. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      5. Falling Slowly

      Appearing in Once, this touching love song has been covered by a number of musicians since its release in 2006 - including Il Divo. Jonathan said: "I thought it would be a really great song - I'd already had designs on it to cover it myself, so I thought why not do this together, and go crazy… so we did!"

      6. You've Got the Love

      What do you get when you mix a 1986 song by Candi Staton with violins, harp, and Jonathan and Charlotte? It's quite a different take on the original, transforming the music into a string-fuelled poppy operatic number.

    7. Jonathan and Charlotte

      7. O Sole Mio

      From 80s dance tunes to Neapolitan songs, it's Jonathan's turn for a second solo. He's described it as one of his favourite songs of all time: "It's so loud, there's so much energy, so much power within the song itself… it's a lot of fun to sing!"

    8. Jonathan and Charlotte

      8. Caro Mio Ben

      "My dear beloved, believe me - without you, my heart languishes!" Charlotte takes on a pure classical love song, following in the footsteps of Cecilia Bartoli and Pavarotti.

    9. Jonathan and Charlotte

      9. Endless Love

      From an impressive classical pedigree to an iconic pop track, originally performed by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. This track's got it all: a drum machine, panpipes, and a hold-on-to-your-hats moment as Jonathan belts out a solo operatic passage. You've been warned.

    10. Jonathan and Charlotte

      10. It Must Have Been Love

      "I wanted to take a pop song and chop and change and create something totally different from what it was before," Charlotte said. It sounds like she's managed it: her take on Roxette's famous track creates the ultimate classical crossover song.

    11. Jonathan and Charlotte

      11. Va Pensiero

      A final solo from Jonathan, from Verdi's Nabucco. Recognise the music? It's also known as the 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves', performed by - you've guessed it - an entire opera chorus, so it's pretty unusual to hear the music as a solo.

    12. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      12. When a Child is Born

      Easing us gently into the Christmas spirit, this festive tune doesn't actually mention the birth of Jesus - although it's heavily implied! Although it seems like the music's been around for ever, it was actually only written in 1972.

    13. Jonathan and Charlotte Perhaps Love

      13. O Holy Night

      Bringing the album to a close, this track's inspired by the duet by Placido Domingo and a young Charlotte Church.
