Katharine McPhee Loves All The Songs On ‘Unbroken’

Anthony Jones of Celebrity News Service caught up with Katharine McPhee in a Q&A, asking the ‘American Idol’ season five runner-up what’s her favorite song on her second album ‘Unbroken’. “I’ve been really connecting with the song ‘Surrender’ that I wrote with Ingrid Michaelson and Marshall Altman,” McPhee responded. “Well, I’m one of the writers so I would hope I’m connected to it. But it’s about wishing you could see yourself the way someone else sees you and loves you. Girls struggle with, and I struggle with, self-appreciation, self-love. That’s probably my favorite song lyrically. But from starting to promote the songs, I think my favorite right now is ‘It’s Not Right’, the first song on the album. I’m having a blast singing the single too, ‘Had It All’, so that’s definitely a top contender. I really truly do love all the songs. That’s a good position to be in, when you love all your music.”

Katharine McPhee Recordng Her New Album ‘Unbroken’

Katharine McPhee posted some behind the scenes footage from the recording of her second album ‘Unbroken’.

The first is the ‘American Idol’ alum introducing the series of clips on the set of her ‘Had It All’ music video sporting a blonde hairdo.

The second is Kat doing day one of tracking at The Village with producer John Alagia, featuring commentary from her and the band.

“It’s always an interesting process because tracking is really just the band putting the foundation of the song,” Katharine explained. “Which is not what the full realized song is gonna be like. You have to have room for imagination and it sounds pretty good.”

The third is day four of tracking, where Katharine talked about pairing the songs down and sat down for a jam session before showing off some dance moves.
