Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for the supporting role of Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, made a memorably vampy Lily in the 1999 television film of Annie, and had an NBC sitcom created for her, Kristin! Now she grabs the spotlight in Let Yourself Go, her first solo recording. She mixes torchy standards ("My Funny Valentine," "How Long Has This Been Going On?") with Faith Prince-style sauciness ("If"), gets to show off her operatic and scat chops in the miniplay "The Girl in 14G," and shares a light duet with Jason Alexander (reviving his musical theater career post-Seinfeld). Perhaps her "Stranger Here Myself" isn't the weightiest you've ever heard, but this is an enjoyable album with a good deal of old-fashioned class, expertly accompanied by Rob Fisher and the Coffee Club Orchestra. --David Horiuchi

 Love Kristin August 1, 2010

I love Kristin Chenoweth's CD -- she has a terrific voice for Broadway and the concert stage. She also injects her comedic side which is great!!
Go, Kristen! July 21, 2010

Kristen Chenoweth is talent personified. A Tony award winner and star of multiple Broadway shows including "Wicked" and the currently-playing revival of "Promises, Promises". This album offers up a nicely done variety of song styles and tempos. A standout is "If You Hadn't", a tongue-twister of a song with tons of words that rhyme with the word "if". She pulls it off brilliantly. "The Girl in 14G" offers up a view of her vocal versatility from jazzy to operatic. Jason Alexander makes a guest appearance and their rapport in "Hanging Around With You" is great. There is not one bad track on this CD, in my opinion. You'll enjoy it and become a fan of miss Chenoweth.
 WOW!! May 18, 2010
KC (Long Beach, CA)
Chenoweth has a great, well trained voice. I love listening to her sing musical theater as well as opera. A great voice like that can do it all and sound effortless. She also is a wonderful actress, and it comes across in her recordings. I love it!! If you want to be able to do that to, check out this series: Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set
Tonic for the Great Recession. This CD will have you smiling March 30, 2010
Robin (Bethesda, Moldova, Republic of)
Once, on a very bad day I was sitting on the subway trying to distract myself with an audio book on MP3. Nothing helped and feeling worse and worse I gave up and clicked on Kristin Chenoweth's album Let Yourself Go.
Within five minutes my spirits were lifting. I wasn't delusional. This music just makes a person feel better. The band with its 1930s feel seems to say "Great Depression or no, we're gonna have a good time." Yep, those Depression era composers knew how to fight the blues. The title tune, Let Yourself Go will have you feeling, at least a little better, in minutes. Why aren't more pop artists singing it?
Chenoweth is a truly great Broadway singer but she's also such such a talented actress that You find yourself wondering about the the story that inspired each song. Hmmm one wonders, Hanging Around with You is from Stike Up the Band. Maybe its time I listened to a whole album from that show? What about How Long Has This been Going On? Time to order that DVD for Follow the Fleet. The Girl in 14-G? This one was written for Chenoweth and is based on her first NYC apartment. But it sounds like it's from a Broadway musical.
I am crazy about this album and listen to it often--not just when I'm sad. Its a nice long album but I do hope she plans to record. There are so few singers who focus on this kind of music. Chenoweth has a trained voice and once you have been listening to it for a while, you find yourself thinking about Julie Andrews, Streisand and yes, Beverly Sills. Chenoweth seems to have the same kind of infectious joie de vivre that Sills had.
Broadway Music In A Kristin Style December 19, 2009
J. Mayra (Holy Toledo USA)
This is the Musical Music that Kristin was born to sing...
Its like a Broadway Revue that hasn't hit the stage yet!
She certainly delivers her unique style on Broadway standards
that we love to hear! Cole Porter would be proud... Sign
her up!
