The supremely talented singer and pianist Michael Feinstein collaborates with legendary composer-conductor-pianist André Previn for an album celebrating Previn's repertoire from his lesser-known catalog of pop songs, including many that were written for film. The album, titled Change of Heart: The Songs of André Previn, is set for release by Telarc International on April 16, 2013.

In assessing Change of Heart, Previn says, "We had a good time making the album." From Feinstein's perspective, "It was thrilling working with André. He's got the greatest sense of humor, is a great storyteller and he's a link to a history that is very important to me; yet he's still here, still contemporary and still making great music. He's one of the most versatile musicians I have ever known because he is completely unfettered by genres. He loves all kinds of music and is conversant in a way that is staggering, yet he is very humble and self-effacing, especially when it comes to his own work. I suspect it was fun for him to look at these songs and find out that what he wrote was a hell of a lot better than he remembers it."
