Kat McPhee Releasing New Album This Year

American Idol season 5 runner-up, Katharine McPhee, has plenty to sing about.  She’s been signed to a new record label (Verve) and will be releasing a new album.

Kat’s last album, Katharine McPhee, enjoyed moderate success and I remember reading (I can’t seem to find it now) that she wasn’t happy with how it came out.  The two big singles were “Love Story” and “Over It.”  I actually really liked “Over it” and was surprised it didn’t do better than it did (although, it was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA).

Of the deal, Verve Music Group president/CEO Bruce Resnikoff said: "The album she is working on will show many new sides to her talents as an interpreter and a songwriter, and show everyone just how special she is."
