YES!!! A new English Lara album!!!
"Every Woman in Me" is a covers album. Unfortunately no word about a U.S. release but it is available online.
The first single is Lara's rendition of "Why" by Annie Lennox.

Wow! Thanks for posting this! I heard rumors that she was doing a covers album but this is the confirmation I needed.
Her first English album is one of my Top 10, it's perfect from start to finish. Second album was very forgettable (great first single with "The Last Goodbye" though). Her French stuff is fabulous but since I don't speak French, I always wait with anticipation for the English stuff. Can't wait to get this.

Her version of Why is lovely. Is she the one that was doing some Barbra Streisand stuff for awhile or am I thinking or have her confused with someone else? She has a beautiful voice.

^ Possibly. There's a version of Lara doing "Memory" on youtube.

I was a fan of her when "I Will Love Again" was a single here. I was disappointed that it didn't take off and do that well. The local radio stations played it both in normal rotation and during the mixshows (the Morales mix). And then I didn't hear from her much in the years after that. I heard a few of her other songs that had been remixed last year. Good stuff. This covers album could be quite promising. I appreciate the fact that her cover of "Why" isn't done exactly like the original. It's nice to hear artists to change up the song's arrangement a bit or even a lot. The selection of songs is pretty good. I like all of the songs.  "Angel" is the one I am most looking forward to hearing. |

I remember buying her debut album 10 years ago because it had a sticker saying "if you're not completely satisfied with the purchase of this album, Columbia Records will refund your money." I had never heard her, but I sure was completely satisfied. Her second English album wasn't too great, but had a couple decent tracks.
Her voice is just amazing.
