Out now, Kristin Chenoweth,’s third Concord Records release is, For The Girls – one of the Emmy and Tony Award-winning singer-actress’ most personal and compelling projects to date. The album is a tribute to some of the great singers who have influenced her, featuring Chenoweth’s personally charged interpretations of 12 classic songs identified with such iconic artists as Barbra Streisand (The Way We Were), Eva Cassidy (It Doesn’t Matter Anymore), Dinah Washington (What a Diff’rence A Day Made), Doris Day (When I Fall In Love), Patsy Cline (Crazy), Judy Garland (The Man That Got Away), Carole King (Will You Love Me Tomorrow), Eydie Gorme (I Wanna Be Around) and Linda Ronstadt (Desperado).
In collaboration with veteran producer/performer Steve Tyrell, Chenoweth is joined by several high-powered guest vocalists, including Dolly Parton, who lends her voice to her own composition I Will Always Love You; Ariana Grande, who’s featured on a pointed reading of Lesley Gore’s feminist pop anthem You Don’t Own Me; and Jennifer Hudson and Reba McEntire, who trade vocals with Chenoweth on I’m A Woman, originally popularized by Peggy Lee.
In conjunction with the release of For The Girls, Chenoweth will make numerous high-profile media appearances, including NPR’s All Things Considered (September 27), NBC’s The Today Show (September 30), ABC’s Live with Kelly & Ryan (October 1), CBS’s Late Late Show with James Corden (October 3), ABC’s GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke (October 4), CBS’s The Talk (October 4), NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show (October 7), ABC’s Access Daily (October 7), ABC’s CMA Awards (November 13) and ABC’s CMA Country Christmas (early December).
