Idina talks her new album | Interview

The Broadway star talks “Let It Go,” Love Actually and her new Christmas album, which she says is out way too early

Winter must really be Idina Menzel’s season. Last year she taught the world how to “Let It Go” as the voice of Elsa in Disney’s Frozen, and on Oct. 14, she’s releasing Holiday Wishes, a Christmas album covering classics from “All I Want For Christmas Is You” to “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” The Broadway veteran, who’s currently starring in the musical If/Then, tells TIME about her holiday plans.

TIME: Have you always wanted to make a Christmas album?
Idina Menzel: My parents split up on Thanksgiving, so holidays can be hard for me. I’ve always felt that Christmas albums were a sensitive thing. To sing happy music in peoples’ faces is sometimes not always the way to go. I wanted to make sure I did something that covered everyone’s experience during the holidays.

The album is mostly Christmas songs, though you’re Jewish.
Most of them were songs that I’ve always wanted to sing. “Do You Hear What I Hear?” is a song Whitney Houston sang back in the ‘80s. Her version is incredible. I’ve always loved that song. If Barbra Streisand can make a Christmas album, I can.

The day is finally here, ‘Holiday Wishes’ is released today!!

It was already released in Germany a few days ago and the official release date for UK is November 3rd. Check out release dates for other countries here.

If you’re in NY, Idina will be signing copies of ‘Holiday Wishes’ and ‘If/Then’ recording at Barnes&Noble (+ info here). If you go and take pictures and want to share them, send them to flor[at]idina-here.com and let me know how you want to be credited. If/as soon as pictures of the signing are released I’ll be adding to the gallery.
