Unbroken

On UNBROKEN, her Verve Records debut, listeners will discover a glorious side of KATHARINE MCPHEE previously untapped. Poignant, vital lyrics swell over full, lush melodies. McPhee's supple, clear voice, resonating with emotion and confidence, caresses each note on this collection of soon-to- be pop classics. Fans first met McPhee on Season Five of American Idol. The runner-up could seemingly sing any style of music, but especially mesmerized millions with her heart-stirring rendition of "Over the Rainbow”. Her first solo album, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 in early 2007, only hinted at the extent of her talent - not only as a singer, but as a songwriter - that UNBROKEN reveals. Unlike that first effort, McPhee co-wrote the majority of the songs on UNBROKEN, collaborating with fellow singer/songwriters Paula Cole, Ingrid Michaelson and Rachael Yamagata.
