Idina Menzel - I Stand Album

Already a star on Broadway, Idina Menzel is looking to put her signature on the pop world with the I Stand album. Almost all of the songs on this album were co-written by powerhouse songwriter/producer, Glen Ballard, who has worked with the likes of Annie Lennox and Celine Dion. You can tell from her company, that Menzel can’t go wrong here. Those who cherish her for her glass-shattering vocal range will find much to appreciate here with the percolating title track, replete with powerful lyrics and a life-affirming message, or, "Better To Have Loved," a passionate ballad about lack of regret in love and life. Even if she’s lost some her quirkiness, Menzel’s sound here ripe for mainstream audiences.
