After starring in Broadway musicals such as 'Rent' and 'Wicked', American singer/songwriter Idina Menzel releases 'I Stand', her third studio album. Menzel drafted in such luminaries as Glen Ballard (who produced Alanis Morrissette's monster-selling 'Jagged Little Pill'), and appears as co-writer on all but one of the ten tracks on the album proper. Veering from straight ahead rock to lighter, musical-influenced offerings, 'I Stand' is a varied and intriguing record from a technically excellent and experienced artiste.
