Walmart Soundcheck is gearing up to premiere Katharine McPhee's exclusive performance set in support of her sophomore album Unbroken, out Tues., Jan. 5. The set will go live on Fri., Jan. 1 (New Year's Day). Watch a preview of the set below:
Katharine McPhee took to the stage at the Walmart in Oceanside, Calif., on Wednesday to premiere five songs off her forthcoming album Unbroken, which was originally slated to hit stores on Tuesday but has since been pushed back until Tues., Jan. 5. The new titles revealed were "Brand New Key," "Terrified," "How," "Lifetime" and "It's Not Right. "Watch her sing "Terrified," written by Kara DioGuardi and Jason Reeves, below:
Coming on the heels of news that her sophomore album, ‘Unbroken,’ is postponed until Jan. 5, 2010, Katharine McPhee leaves fans hanging on an extremely high note with “Say Goodbye.”
"Say Goodbye" is now available to download on iTunes.
From the somber tone of her vocals to the vulnerable sense driven by the stringed accompaniment, “Goodbye” shows just how effortlessly McPhee pours her emotions into her work. The lyrics fit the song excellently, and are believable coming from McPhee (“I feel just like an actress / up on the stage”) and help convey the overall message she wants to get across to her audience. Following a rousing bridge that allows McPhee to display her vocal acrobatics, she brings “Goodbye” to a close on a solemn note, just the way she began (“So I walk this high wire / alone tonight / that way it won’t hurt so much / when we say goodbye”).
Katharine McPhee has always been an exceptional vocalist and she has delivered some solid recordings in her budding career, but “Say Goodbye” is without question the most beautiful piece of art she has ever recorded in a studio. Assuming ‘Unbroken’ includes more “Say Goodbye”s than it does “Open Toes,” fans could be in for a true gem come January.
Katharine McPhee lets fans hear one last taste of her new material following the disheartening news that her forthcoming sophomore album, Unbroken, has been delayed until a Tues., Jan. 5 release. To help lessen the blow, her record label, Verve Forecast, releases the ballad "Say Goodbye" as a digital single at iTunes.
