Last month's debut EP, Obsessed: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, her insprired new take on the landmark rock musical for which she earned her Tony Award on Broadway, was hailed as "stirring" by Rolling Stone with Time Out New York calling it a "superb showcase for the mixture of clean power and rock grit that have made Hall so magnetic as a singer." BroadwayWorld raved that "Hall perfectly oscillates between raw rock vocals and lush bluesy ballad tones. This is a beautiful feat that really allows listeners to bask in the glory of Hall's incredible instrument."

Obsessed features Justin Craig on guitar and keyboards; Matt Duncan on bass, keyboards and saxophone; and Brian Fishler on drums and percussion. The album cover is photographed by Melisa Hall and designed by Stephanie Layton. Each set of videos features a different outfit created by renowned designer Malan Breton.
