GRAMMY® AWARD WINNING JENNIFER NETTLES RELEASES NEW ALBUM ALWAYS LIKE NEW TODAY
The album, executive produced by Adam Zotovich (Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple, An American in Paris), spans classics to contemporary favorites and is receiving praise for Nettles’ take on songs like Wait For It (by Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton), You Will Be Found (by Benj Pasek-Justin Paul from Dear Even Hansen) and a beautiful duet with Brandi Carlile on It All Fades Away (by Jason Robert Brown from The Bridges of Madison County ).
Nettles shared, "As a child who grew up in musical theatre, this album feels like a homecoming to me. I savored every note of singing and arranging these songs with Alex Lacamoire. It is thrilling to be able to celebrate this amazing songwriting with arrangements and vocals that allow them to be rediscovered anew.”
