What people at Idinamenzel.com are doing with promoting her new album is freaking awesome. The lyric videos of new tracks are cool. Here in the Philippines, the name Idina Menzel is probably known only mostly to fans of musical theater, so I’m saying, again, go back to Disney’s Enchanted and take a good look at Robert’s girlfriend because that girl may not have sung in that movie (which ironically is filled with musical numbers), but she’s won the Tony Award for originating the role of Elphaba in the hit musical Wicked.
Her venture into pop territory isn’t really a first. And although I’d always prefer her theater voice, having heard some of the songs she wrote in the past, I’m giving this album a high mark in my anticipation list. Here’s the title track, I Stand.
Incidentally, Idina will star with Josh Groban in the Chess musical UK concert in May. It’ll be fun to hear that rock voice sing Elaine Paige’s I Know Him So Well.
