Katherine McPhee - Unbroken
“I feel just like an actress up on the stage,” Katherine sings on “Say Goodbye,” a piano ballad about a romantic breakup. In fact, the 25-year-old Los Angeles musician also has a successful acting career, with TV, film and theatre roles to her credit. Katherine’s sophomore CD shows how far the former American Idol runner-up has grown, co-writing with Paula Cole and Rachael Yamagata on what she admits are mostly sad, “slit-your-wrist” songs. The exception is her upbeat take of Melanie’s 1971 hit “Brand New Key.”
