Mandy Gonzalez: Fearless: B-Sides 2018

Broadway and TV star MANDY GONZALEZ – currently starring in Hamilton– will follow up Fearless, her debut recording from earlier this season, with Fearless: B-Sides, available today, Friday, May 18. Following the success of the original album, these five additional digital-only tracks from the original sessions include creative new interpretations of standards (“I Only Have Eyes for You”) and classics (“Bein’ Green”), in addition to her first-ever Spanish-language recording (“Vivir Mi Vida”). Fearless: B-Sides is being released on the heels of her successful national concert tour, which included a performance with the student activists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Please order Fearless and Fearless: B-Sides, both produced by Bill Sherman, at Fearless.us.

Fearless, her remarkable solo debut bridging pop and R&B, is currently available from East West Records. Called “a knockout anthem” by New York Magazine/Vulture, “powerful” by Rolling Stone and “moving” by Broadway.com, the personal and compelling title song, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, utilizes Mandy’s own story to explore issues of both politics and family. This album – hailed as “a genre-defying, highly-personal, daring, and brilliant debut” from Pop Bytes – delivers songs from some of the most accomplished writers in the music industry, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Nettles, Bill Sherman, and Tom Kitt.

Fearless also features a powerful duet with Mandy and Christopher Jackson, the Hamilton star who was featured opposite Gonzalez on Broadway for In the Heights. Mandy adds an intimate new version of her signature song, “Breathe,” and a total remake of the classic “Que Será, Será.” A music video for the title track – directed by Paul Bozymowski and produced by RadicalMedia – can be seen at Fearless.us.

Malala — the Nobel Prize laureate and Pakistani activist — recently chose the album’s title track to be part of her Spotify playlist for International Women’s Day, which was heard across 10,000 Starbucks stores.
