Katharine McPhee To Release New Album

Katharine McPhee has signed with jazz label, Verve Records where she joins some great artists like the late Billie Holliday, Queen Latifah, Diana Krall and Blues Traveler (among many, many others).

McPhee is expected to release a new album by the end of 2009 and Verve 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."

I know Kat’s first (self-titled) album didn’t do as well as she would have hoped but I actually liked some of the songs a lot.  She also collaborated with David Foster for his Hit Man: David Foster and Friends CD/DVD on which she performed “The Prayer” with Andrea Bocelli.  It should be interesting to see what style she comes up with on this new album.  I wonder how “jazzy” it will end up being!
