Hear'Say Main article: Hear’Say

In 2001, Klass auditioned for the ITV reality show Popstars , which offered contestants an opportunity to become part of a newly formed pop band. Klass was chosen as one of the ten finalists and became a member of Hear'Say , with Kym Marsh , Suzanne Shaw , Danny Foster and Noel Sullivan . Following the success of their first album, the band was given its own TV show entitled Hear'Say It's Saturday . During the show's run, the band had a chance to perform with such established artists as Lionel Richie , Celine Dion , Bradley Walsh , Blue and Atomic Kitten . At the end of 2001, Hear'Say appeared on the Royal Variety Performance .

Klass made many appearances with Hear'Say on TV and in live performances during 2002.[6] The pop act's many promotional appearances during the year were also broadcast as part of their own TV shows, entitled Hear'Say: A New Chapter in Full and The Hear'Say Story . In total, Hear'Say had four Top 10 singles including two number-ones in the British charts, before splitting up after a reported long-term feud between Klass and Marsh. The feud resulted in Marsh leaving the band in December 2001, to be replaced by Johnny Shentall in 2002. The band split up in October of that year.[7]

Myleene Klass at the BAFTA awards during 2007

Klass confirmed there would be a re-release of the album with five new tracks, but its release was pushed back because of conflicts between Klass's new management company (Mel Bush Organisation) and her previous (Safe Management) regarding royalties.[citation needed ] Ultimately, the release was cancelled, the only remnant being the Asian release of Moving On , which includes three new tracks: "Trouble" (a Coldplay cover version with Klass's vocals), "Sahara" and "Le Onde".[15] Klass then said that she would be working on a new album which would include a number of tracks with her vocals.[citation needed ] However, on 23 October 2004, it was announced that Klass would not be releasing any further material through her label UCJ, Universal Classics and Jazz.[citation needed ]

On 28 March 2007, Klass signed a record contract with EMI Classics as both a recording artist and an ambassador for the EMI Classics UK roster of artists.[16] These include Alfie Boe , Natasha Marsh and Natalie Clein . The deal included the release of a series of albums on which Klass performed two exclusive tracks and chose a number of her favourite classical pieces from the EMI Classics back catalogue. The first album, Myleene's Music for Romance , was released on 2 July 2007 and went straight to number 1 in the classical chart.[citation needed ] A music video to accompany the lead track, "Cinema Paradiso", was shot at the Bucharest Opera House in Romania in April.[citation needed ]

Klass's second album in the EMI series, Myleene's Music for Mothers , was released on 18 February 2008, and has two tracks played by Klass.[17] These two tracks are the popular "America" from West Side Story , written by Leonard Bernstein , and Ennio Morricone 's "Chi Mai", known best as the theme to the 1981 BBC TV drama serial The Life and Times of Lloyd George . In March 2013, she helped to celebrate Andrew Lloyd Webber 's 40-year work with her rendition of "Shakalaka- Baby" from the musical Bombay Dreams .[18]
