Linda Eder, Drama Desk-winning star of Jekyll & Hyde and one of the great contemporary voices of our time, crowns her two-decade recording career by reuniting with prolific Broadway and pop composer Frank Wildhorn on a new album, Now, from Sony MASTERWORKS.  The new release marks the musical return of this legendary team after six years, and it's the album Linda's legion of fans have been waiting for.  Produced by Wildhorn, Eder, and Jeremy Roberts, the recording will be released in CD and digital formats on March 1, 2011. 

Linda Eder's diverse repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. Her career took off after appearing on Star Search in the 1987 season, where she won for 12 consecutive weeks. This TV success led to a leading role on Broadway as Lucy Harris in Jekyll & Hyde, which won her a Drama Desk Award. Eder launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vital niche as America's most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of pop standards and theatrical songs.

Eder's transcendent voice is the perfect complement to Wildhorn's lush, imaginative music.  The dozen mostly brand-new songs on Now elevate the spirit while capturing many moods. Song like the romantic "No Finer Man," to the gutsy "Not Gonna Fall This Time," sit comfortably with the gentle samba of "What Did You See Inside the Stars," and the ethereal title track "Now." Also on the album is "Mad Hatter" from Wildhorn's much anticipated Broadway Musical Wonderland.  In creating these gems, Frank Wildhorn collaborated with many of the acclaimed lyricists he has worked with over the years-Leslie Bricusse (Jekyll & Hyde), Don Black (Sunset Boulevard), Maury Yeston (Nine), and others.

Eder is thrilled to work with Wildhorn again after years of expanding her repertoire in concert and on disc, including recordings of country-pop and movie songs. "My road led me on a journey of musical growth that allowed me to discover more of who I really am as a singer," she says.  "I always knew that Frank and I would work together again one day and this album is the result."

  • Insightful interpretations and a remarkable instrument on Linda Eder's 17th solo album / Chicago Tribune
    Posted At: July 2, 2018

    Linda Eder has recorded steadily and performed judiciously since then, declining to play hundreds of concerts per year, as other singers on the way up often do. As a result, she has managed to preserve and nurture that remarkable instrument despite the passage of decades, as she proves beyond doubt in her newly released, 17th solo album, "If You See Me." To anyone who values Eder's work in mainstream...

    Posted At: February 14, 2016

    Linda Eder performed Last Friday night - before a capacity audience - at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. But the scope and luster of her instrument, the savvy of her phrasing and the still-deepening nature of her art enabled listeners to focus on what matters most in any of the shows she referenced: the music. When Eder is at her best, as she was on this evening, it's e...

  • Linda Eder's luxuriant voice doesn't come around often / Chicago Tribune
    Posted At: March 13, 2015

    Anyone who admires the sumptuous and extraordinarily expressive voice of Linda Eder has experienced a certain frustration: She performs quite selectively, avoiding the relentless tours that make lesser singers into bigger stars. That makes any Eder concert – such as Saturday evening's performance at Dominican University in River Forest – a signal event, if only because she offers only...

"Linda Live: The Concert Recording" cannot be found on Ama...
