Sing You To Sleep - Anika Larsen 2014

Yellow Sound Label will release SING YOU TO SLEEP, the debut solo CD of dreamy ballads and standards from ANIKA LARSEN, currently starring on Broadway in BEAUTIFUL – THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL. For her role as legendary songwriter Cynthia Weil, Anika was nominated for a 2014 Tony Award and won the Drama Desk Award. SING YOU TO SLEEP – produced by Emmy Award-winner and Grammy Award-nominee Michael Croiter, with Dan Watt serving as executive producer – will be available online and in stores December 9. SING YOU TO SLEEP is a tuneful and personal album for adults and children alike, which Larsen recorded with her nine siblings and fourteen nieces and nephews in mind. The twelve soulful songs are drawn from contemporary pop (“Count on Me” by Bruno Mars, “Fields of Gold” by Sting), legendary singer/songwriters (“Annie’s Song” by John Denver, “Make You Feel My Love” from Bob Dylan), musical theater (“Summertime” from Porgy & Bess, “Sleepy Man” from The Robber Bridegroom) and animated classics (the poignant “Baby Mine” from Dumbo) and An American Tail (a gently swinging version of “Somewhere Out There,” with lyrics by her Beautiful character Cynthia Weil). Jessie Mueller, who won the 2014 Tony Award winner for playing Carole King in BEAUTIFUL, is featured on the album in a duet with her co-star for James Taylor’s “You Can Close Your Eyes.”
