Martina McBride

Country music superstar Martina McBride has proven herself to be one of the best in the business. Now, she's back with her new album 'Everlasting,' which is due out on Tuesday, March 4th. Martina had a specific vision for the project, which is a collection of iconic soul and R&B songs, and knew Grammy-winning producer Don Was had just the experience and insight to lead her on this journey.

The legendary producer guided McBride through songs as diverse as Aretha Franklin's "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" and Van Morrison's "Wild Night," and yielded a new sound and a departure for the country icon and four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year.

"I love soulful music and it just made sense to me to stretch a bit at this time and do something that fills my heart and allows me to explore a little bit," said Martina on her upcoming album. "I have worked hard to choose some of the best and most loved classics, much like I did with 'Timeless,' and interpret them in a way that is faithful to the original, but still has my own artistic spin to make it mine."

"Working with Don was a dream come true," continued Martina. "He is so musical and really helped me focus on how to do these songs in a way that not only features the vocal, but also connects this music with what I've done in the past in a really honest and organic way. Putting out new music is one of the most exciting things we can do as performers, and I can't wait to take this music on tour."

'Everlasting' will be released on McBride's own Vinyl Records through Kobalt label services.
