Katie Melua ‏@katiemelua:

Hard to contain excitement as about to walk into a studio of exquisite players! Our first orchestra session for the new album today!

 

I'm inside!

 

 

I wish you could all be here..Lets see.. The studio feels like I've just stepped back in time, lots of brown and dark orange wood panels...

...and it smells like what I imagine the 70's smelled like. The Neve desk is whirring while the strings play...

 

Mike is conducting! That's definitely where he's the happiest I reckon.
