I have listened to this CD over and over again...Idina Menzel has such an amazing voice and vocal range and the whole album really shows this. I waited for this album to come out in the UK for soooo long! I saw her perform in the I Stand tour in Florida, where she sang her heart out, and she was absolutely fantastic, and the album reflects that.
My favourite songs are 'Brave' and 'My Own Worst Enemy' both of which are beautiful, powerful ballads, sang amazingly. The copy I have also has the single version of 'Defying Gravity' which is great, and an added bonus. I'm not as keen on the song 'God Give Me Strength' which is also a UK bonus track, but even that is a very good song.
The lyrics really speak to me, and all of the songs are beautifully written and wonderfully sung by a Broadway star who is also a worthy recording artist. I hope she brings out more music in the UK!
