Secret Symphony is the fifth studio album by British singer Katie Melua. It was released by Dramatico on 5 March 2012. Recorded at Air Studios in London and produced in collaboration with longtime musical partner Mike Batt, the album marked a departure from Melua's previous releases by focusing primarily on interpretations of songs written by other artists. Described by Melua as her "singer's album", it features orchestral arrangements of compositions by songwriters including Ron Sexsmith, alongside more familiar songs, while also incorporating two original compositions written by Melua and Batt. The album received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Melua's vocal performances and several individual tracks but criticized its cautious approach and orchestral arrangements, with many viewing it as a retreat from the experimentation of The House. Commercially, Secret Symphony reached number one in Poland and peaked within the top ten in numerous countries. The album earned Gold certifications in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Denmark, Platinum certification in Poland, and received a Diamond Award from IMPALA for European sales exceeding 200,000 copies.
