There ae never enough good things to day about Stephanie J Block. She's incredibly talented, kind, amazing. She has a voice to be reckoned with and this CD is long overdue. It has something for everyone. It has songs by Andrew Lippa, Dolly Parton, Scott Alan, Marvin Hamlisch, you name it. Whether or not you are a musical theater person you will love this CD. It will make you cry, and laugh. It is definitely an all encompassing example of the amount of talent Stephanie has. Enjoy!

STEPHANIE J. BLOCK IS AMAZING! I have been waiting for her solo album for a few years and so excited for it to be out! She has such a pure voice. So powerful. The songs are great and easy to listen to. The duet with Dolly Parton is sweet and 15 Pounds is SO FUNNY! 5 STARS STEPH!!

Lets just say that this Album is the most Awsome Album I herd it brings out your heart and joy just by listening to her voice! She was in Wicked the musical and The Pirate Queen and now in 9 to 5 the musical. Any song that she does its still a power house to me Im such a fan of her and her album I love all her songs well maybe the song "Because I am a wife" such amazing song! Anyway I give her a 5 stars!!! you go girl!

Was looking forward to this and wasn't disappointed. Also saw her at Birdland last week performing songs from it - place was sold out. Highly recommended.

I became a fan of Stephanie J. Block for her stunning role as Grace in The Pirate Queen. Then I saw this album and figured I'd like it. I LOVE it! What I love about her is that she doesn't just sing a song, she acts the song. A++ in my book

Stephanie has a beautiful voice and is a beautiful person, inside and out on top of it! This album is great in both concept and execution. Stephanie's idea to perform the songs with their composers is a stroke of brilliance, and her voice is flawless on every track, ranging from serious to silly.

She sounds just as fantastic in person - if you have an opportunity to see her live, do not hesitate!

Ms. Block's voice comes from a well she tapped directly into her soul. It is at once a powerhouse and a pacifier...soaring from a sassy belt to a glorious soprano, and then floating down to a lover's whisper, with extreme control and dexterity. Her voice is an instrument so well refined, it must have been forged by God himself.

Her extensive acting experience has created in her something rare and precious in this era of auto-tune and radio fodder...true artistic expression. When she opens her mouth, she has something to say. Even while traveling through intense emotions, her performances never become cheesy or overly theatrical, because she not only sings from such a truthful place, but she is smart enough to know what each song needs (and more importantly, doesn't) to be fully heard.

Stand out songs include: the aptly titled "Something Beautiful", "One Day", "I Will Always Love You" (a sublimely paired duet with Dolly Parton), the inspirational "Gotta Start Small", her fast-paced comedic relief "Intervention", and the belt-to-the-stratosphere phenom "Because I Am a Wife" from one of her Broadway starring roles.
