Katharine McPhee Talks About New Album, Life After Idol

First of all, what do you think of Katharine McPhee’s new look?  Is she rockin’ the blonde hair or not?  You tell me!  I kinda like it but I also don’t want her to go too far reinventing herself, you know?  I have to say that it reminds me a little bit of what Geena Davis looked like in The Long Kiss Goodnight.  Anyone else seeing that?

Anyway, I spotted this video and thought I’d share.  She talked a bit about how her upcoming album Unbroken is different from her first one (Katharine McPhee).  Let me just say really quickly that I know she’s distanced herself from singles like “Over It” and it didn’t do as well on the charts as she had hoped but I really liked it.  I still listen to it all the time on my iPod on the treadmill but I think it was under-promoted and should have been released in the summer instead of the winter but what do I know?

Kat said that she wanted a more “lush, full sound” with organic instruments and a lot of strings.  She feels like she’s grown a lot since her first release which makes a big difference. 

She also revealed that she’s not particularly ready to have children, she hopes that Paula Abdul finds happiness (and would be willing to be a guest judge), she would love to collaborate with Michael Bublé and Kings of Leon. 

It’s cute little interview so if you’re a Kat fan, it’s totally worth checking out!
