For her second album of 2006, Broadway singer Audra McDonald focuses on cabaret-style versions of pop songs perfectly suited for both this intimate style and her fearsomely gifted, stage-trained voice. The song selection ranges from Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's "God Give Me Strength" (which emerged as a new standard shortly after it was released in the early 2000s) to downtown-NYC songbird Nellie McKay's flirty "I Wanna Get Married," with a few more traditional choices for balance. The arrangements are small and jazzy, but not simplistic, giving McDonald's vocals plenty of room and support.
