Below, get a first listen to highlights from Linda Eder's new CD "Retro" released today, November 16th 2015.

Linda Eder's diverse repertoire includes Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. As the tragic character "Lucy" in the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde, from composer Frank Wildhorn, Eder dazzled audiences with such numbers as "Someone Like You" and "A New Life." Her Broadway debut, for which she was rewarded with a Drama Desk nomination, secured her a spot as one of America's most beloved singers and dynamic live performers.

Most recently, in October 2013, Linda released Christmas Where You Are, the follow-up to her best-selling and critically acclaimed Christmas Stays the Same (2000). This CD features twelve tracks - six selected by her fans via social media voting and two originals from Eder. It also features a unique twist on the classic, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" which Linda re-wrote and performs in a duet with her teenage son, Jake to represent a classic mother-son debate over going outside to play in a snow storm.

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 with 15 solo albums and 12 musical recordings. Those albums highlight Eder's abundant vocal gifts as well as her skill for delivering dramatic, emotionally resonant interpretations of familiar songs while making them her own.
