A single release of "Rainbow High" will be released next week.
Rachel Zegler has dropped a "New Miami Mix" variation of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," a new take inspired by the 1996 single version recorded by Madonna. Zegler’s version features a newly recorded vocal that incorporates spoken Spanish words.
The EVITA star teased the release on Instagram on Thursday, sharing a snippet of a video call with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. She also confirmed a forthcoming single release of "Rainbow High," which will be released next week.
Also on Friday, the Golden Globe winner announced a solo show at the London Palladium for October 5. The evening performance quickly sold out, as did an added matinee performance.
Previously recorded versions of the EVITA staple from Zegler included a standard studio release, in addition to the "Live From The Balcony" recording. Listen to the new release below.
