notes

While performing in her own band in New York City, Idina became sidetracked by a call from her agent at the time who suggested she try out for a part in a small musical project at the New York Theatre Workshop. The director was looking for rock singers instead of theatrically-trained ones for a contemporary musical. That small musical project became one of the year's most impactful entertainment properties - the Broadway hit, Rent. Idina helped create the roll of Maureen for which she recieved a Tony nomination. The experience not only drew her into a new world, but led her to create a truly versatile, multi-media career...

In theatre: Ms. Menzel also earned a Drama Desk Award nomination for her performance as 'Kate' in Gabriel Barre's The Wild Party, produced by Manhattan Theatre Club. In her second collaboration with Barre, she originated the role of Dorothy in Summer of '42 at Goodspeed, and she starred last spring as 'Sheila' in City Center's Encore Series production of Hair, directed by Kathleen Marshall. Ms. Menzel returned to Broadway playing 'Amneris' in Elton John's musical, AIDA and also starred in The Vagina Monologues directed by Joe Mantello. Most recently she has again teamed up with Mr. Mantello on Broadway to star as 'Elphaba' in Wicked.

In music: An accomplished songwriter as well as singer, Idina released her debut album of original material, "Still I Can't Be Still" on Hollywood Records and performed at the 1998 Lillith Fair summer concert festival. Her most recent album, "Here" was produced and co-written by Jamey Jaz and the team at Touch of Jazz.


In film: Ms. Menzel has appeared in SUMMER OF SAM directed by Spike Lee, STILL A KISS directed by Fisher Steven, KISSING JESSICA STEIN directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, TOLLBOOTH directed by Debra Kirschner and WATER directed by Jennifer Houlton.

    This is Idina's best CD to date! This CD should have blown up when it was first released. Unfortuantely most the current Idina fans were lil kids, babies, or not born at that time. :(

  • Idina is an inspiration
    author: bwaybelle21

    This is one of the most amazing, incredible, straght-to-the-heart CD's I have ever had the priviledge of listening to. The songs each have such incredbible, sincere lyrics, entrancing melodies, and raw, real messages. Idina is the most amazing performer I have ever witnessed, she is a role model to everyone who wants to be in the theatre world.

  • THANK GOD FOR IDINA MENZEL
    author: fireprincess_070

    This cd is amazing. I've listened to most of it and now I MUST have it. The songs are so pure and untainted by the popularity of today's artists. It comes straight from the heart, where music should come from.

  • Simply the best
    author: Stephanie

    This album is real, raw, and like no other. This everything I wanted and so much more. Idina's incredible personality and soul really shine through in this album. Her powerful vocals and moving lyrics make this a true gem--and an absolute must-have!

  • I like this album
    author: Caitlin

    It's original. I like the lyrics. My favorite songs are "Think Too Much", "Minuet", and "PlanetZ". If you are looking for an album where the lyrics don't sound manufactured, but sound real and orignal then this is the CD for you! I give it a 4 because I heard somewhere (I think Jessica Simpson said that) that if someone reaches the top then there's nowhere to go but down. ;)

  • Idina is my IDOL!
    author: Sarah

    I bought STILL I CAN'T BE STILL because I picked up HERE at WICKED and loved it: I'm so happy I did! In SILL I CAN'T BE STILL, every song is touch-your-heart raw, it's just fantastic!

  • Idina : a voice and talent unlike the rest !!
    author: Nancy

    What an amazing cd !! Idina was awesome in Wicked and even more so on this cd. Her songs are unique and sung from her heart and soul as only Idina can do. It immediately became my favorite CD out of the many I already own.

  • Idina is unbelievable, and so talented!

    author: Connie P.

    Loved the songs but MINUET is my all time favorite.. I listen to it everyday and it reminds me how it feels to be in love

  • Like nothing I've heard before...amazing!
    author: Emily

    Everything about this CD is amazing. The vocals, the lyrics, the music...all unique and all powerful. There is at least one song that I think everyone could relate to and yet nothing seems redundant. I absolutely love it!

  • Great CD! I Loved It!
    author: CY

    I love Idina, and this CD is awesome. She really displays her vocal abilities on this CD. Get it, you WON'T be disappointed!

    author: Christie

    Idina Menzel is my idol and so I'm a little byest to the cd, but I heard it a year ago when I first found out about Idina in WICKED. So my mom bought me this cd for my b-day and I've loved it ever scince.

  • How does she do it?
    author: Lizzy

    I LOVED this CD! It is probably the most amazing CD I have ever listened to! It took me forever to find it, and I almost had to pay $86 dollars to get it, but it totally would have been worth it! Idina's voice and powerful lyrics are so wonderful, and she truly is "popular" with me!!!

  • Music of my soul
    author: brid_airmeire

    I have finally found the cd of my dreams. The music displays different emotions, and each one you can relate to. It doesn't matter how I'm feeling because I know that there is a song that will reflect it. These are songs that you will catch yourself humming at odd times after only hearing them once. Plus Idina has a haunting voice.

  • Amazing
    author: phantomsb5

    This is an a amazing cd and I recomend it to anyone who enjoys music! Idina has a true talent and it shows in this cd!

  • Brilliant
    author: J

    With passionate lyrics and emotionally-driven vocals, its no wonder this CD has come to be my absolute favorite in my collection of hundreds of CDs. The material speaks from the heart and covers such a variety of emotions, moods, and musicals styles that it is sure to stay in the Cd player on repeat for a long time. The beautifully written lyrics and flawlessly delivered vocals will dig into your soul and stay there for a long, long time. In a world of great music, this disc comes out on top, and it is a must have in any music lovers collection--especially those who love a great singer/songwriter.

  • Best CD ever!
    author: Kelsey

    OMG this cd is sooo kool! I luv Minuet and Still I Can't Be Still. I am so glad CD baby had it, because I couldnt find it anywhere. :) (can you tell that I liked it?)

  • Eclectic and brilliant!
    author: Jill

    SICBS is marvelous. It now perminently lives in my car's CD player, though I am not a slave driver; it gets to take naps while The Wild Party soundtrack is playing. Minuet makes me smile, I ADORE Larissa's Lagoon with it's crazy lyrics and slinky sounds (yes, slinky), All of the Above makes me laugh, Straw Into Gold is deliciously intense, Planet Z is my theme song, I listen to Think Too Much in anticipation to hear her contagious laugh, and of course Heart on My Sleeve is so soulful and beautiful. A wonderful collection of musical art! Your fans thank you for following your dreams, Dee!

  • Absolutely Amazing
    author: Melissa

    I absolutely love this cd. Idina was amazing in Wicked but this cd really showcases her talents.

  • Excellent CD!! Idina Menzel is one of the most diverse, stunning and impowering
    author: Kayla

    The whole CD is a true emotional roller-coaster. I absolutely adore it. The first few songs truly put me in a good mood and get me moving. The last few really speak to me as a person. Especially the last song "Heart On My Sleeve." Basically every song is relatable, and that's something that I value in a cd. I've been constantly listening to it from the moment it arrived in the mail and I'd quickly recommend it to anyone.

  • An AWESOME CD!!! Idina Menzel is amazingly talented!!!
    author: Katie

    I love every song on the cd. Idina is truly talented. I enjoyed her in Wicked, but this lets you see a whole new side to Idina's talents.

  • Idina Menzel: The Real Deal
    author: Lauren

    Idina Menzel continues to prove what a true gift she has for music. Not only does she have an astounding vocal range but her lyrics are interesting, quirky and insightful. After listening to Still I Can’t Be Still the listener can’t help but feel that they’ve sat down with Idina for an hour and shared her thoughts. In today’s world of lip synching, manufactured pop singers, it’s refreshing to hear a real talent.

  • Such An Original, Awesome Work of Art
    author: Rudy Palma

    This album is absolutely incredible all the way through! It only sold 7,000 copies and never made the Billboard charts-that alone is reason enough to never believe in hype and to always search out true, original talent. Although she was absolutely fantastic in 'WICKED', Idina proves here that she has more up her sleeve than most people familiar with her realize. She is indeed a true singer/songwriter in the best sense.

  • Idina Menzel is Defying Gravity
    author: Jamie

    This cd it awesome! Idina does such a great job at making each song unique. She has such a great voice, and even if you do not like this type of music you will still like her. If you love this cd go out and get WICKED because it just as good!

  • such talent
    author: Stephanie

    she has such a wonderful and unique voice, she definately has her own sound and a great range...so happy with this cd!

  • She's Amazing
    author: Nicole

    This cd is great! It shows off Idina Menzel's beautiful voice perfectly. I love it's mix of slow and upbeat songs. Any fan of Idina should DEFINITELY listen to this!

  • The best gift I've given this year
    author: Gina

    I bought this CD for a friend because he fell in love with her voice after seeing her in "Wicked". He won't even let me borrow it! In short, her talent is astounding and her passion breathtaking.

  • Fantastic!!!!
    author: Ashley

    I love this CD!!! Idina Menzel is amazing and her voice is really show cased on this particular CD. If you don't know much about Idina Menzel I would recommend this CD before Here simply oer fact that it has much more song variety on it. BUY THIS CD!!! :)

  • This was well worth the wait. Great CD.
    author: Deb

    I have been a fan of Idina's since I heard the Cast Recording of RENT. Then I saw her in WICKED and I was completely blown away. I knew I had to get her new CD HERE at the show and then I ordered STILL I CAN'T BE STILL. Both are great and lived up to what I expected. And the Grammy goes to...

  • She is amazing!
    author: Idina's true-blue fan, Katie

    Idina Menzel has such a wonderful voice. I saw her in Wicked and she was sensational. Her voice is like a dhours of angels. I don't own the cd but, from the samples I've heard, it was amazing! I love Larissa's Lagoon. I love the way her music relates to real life problems. Idina, if you are reading this you are such a blessing to the world!!

  • She is amazing!

  • Idina's music is true
    author: Defying Gravity Girl--Idina's #1 fan

    So many things going through my mind! I LOVE THIS CD! If you ever listened to Idina's music before and liked it you will love this cd. Some of it is dark. Larissa's Lagoon so deep but true. The only thing is that listenening to Idina's music makes me sad because she is in self doubt but everybody knows she is wonderful and in Here her other cd that you can get on this site tells how she has changed and if you listen to both cds you will notice that not only has the music changed but Idina has changed and if you want to get the full pisture you definetly want to get this cd. It is the best music you will eveer hear. I can't believe that they don't play it on the radio all the time. I WOULD! You should buy this cd it is wonderful

  • Loved it!!!!
    author: Colett

    Everything Idina does turns to Gold, this CD is as wonderful as "Here" I could listen to them all day long. I can't wait for more!!!

  • Wonderful
    author: Linda

    The CD is just amazing. Seeing Idina in Wicked I wanted to get both of her CD's and I was not disappointed. I think any fan of hers will love the rock Minuet is my fav song.

  • She is truly "Defying Gravity"
    author: A.C.C. Kopchik

    I wish I knew about Idina when this album came out. This album is truly inspirational, dark, and has one hell of a wonderful list of songs. I'm so happy that I could get this album on CD Baby for so cheap, when as on Amazon this album goes for 60 dollars! I couldn't believe it. Idina is really "Defying Gravity" in "Still I Can't Be Still" it's a wonderful album and I hope everyone goes and buys it!

  • Am completely in love with this CD. Can't stop listening to it.
    author: Ashley

    This is an amazing CD. Since I got it I just can't stop listening to it. I have to say that All of the Above is my favorite song, though Heart on my Sleeve is beautiful. Everyone should listen to this CD, it's teriffic.

  • Idina is amazing, a must buy!
    author: Dorothy

    Still... is such a great cd, and a must buy for Idina fans, or just fans of great music to just chill to. Idina's mix of her power house voice, great true life lyrics, and smooth melodies makes this an amazing show case for her many talents. Let me tell you, if you liked Wicked or any of Idina's stuff ( Rent, etc.) you MUST buy this. And if you havent seen her in Wicked, after buying this cd, go and buy tickets to see it. Trust me you won't regret buying this, it's been in my cd player for a good month since I bought it ( which is a record time for me). Plus go check out her other cd Here, which is also on this sight!

  • I
    author: Lea

    I LOVE Idina Menzel's style, her lyrics couldn't be more true. I saw her in Wicked recently and fell in love with her first CD, Here so I bought this one. Buy it, you won't regret it, the lyrics are painfully honest. It has become part of the soundtrack to my life, I love it

  • LOVE IT
    author: J9

    If you love Idina in Wicked, you will love this CD. This is a quirky CD, no doubt about it. But if you truly understand Wicked you willl understand why this CD is great! It's like a journal page into Idina's life. It is great!

  • you can't go wrong with this girl

  • Idina is the woman
    author: Annabanana

    Not only is Idina Menzel AmAzInG in on broadway, but her original music is dead on as well. Not only her spectacular voice makes this cd the best ever, but her lyrics are so deep and meaningful; they make u think and explore the world and your own thoughts. This combination is a definete mix for success!

  • HOLY CRAP!!!!!
    author: Obsessed

  • i never get bored of listening to it
    author: will

    my greatest joy is listening to idina menzel, she is just so amazing and so talented i dont know what she is better at singing or acting.Idina menzel is the best!

  • Passionate and honest
    author: Alyssa

    To go alone with what everyone else here has said, this (and "HERE") is truly astounding. It has a fervency and such an open honesty and her songs are easily my favorite things to listen to. Some are soothing while others want to make you get up and dance, and that's a good mix. Beautiful music, deep, flowing lyrics; STILL is honest, true, personal and her voice, once again, is rich and powerful. Rock on, Idina! :D

  • Breathtaking voice and lyrics!
    author: Melissa K. :-)

    Having owned Idina Menzel's 2nd CD- 'Here' I had to get her first one- 'Still I Can't be Still'. As expected, this CD is awesome! Her voice is beyond words, and her lyrics come right from her heart. The variety of songs and styles makes this a great CD to listen to anywhere. She is my idol and has a voice that anyone would cherish!

  • Loved it
    author: Jordan Nofziger

    She is such an amazingly talented person and so gorgeous.

  • AMAZING!
    author: Menzel Fan

    This CD is amazing-- Idina Menzel is wonderful. She is fabulous. The CD is wonderful, clear, unique-- I would recommend it to anyone who loves music. I actually got to meet her and get the CD signed and I had to tell her thank you for writing such beautiful music- so Thank you Mrs. Menzel for the beautiful music!

  • great cd
    author: kc

    great cd, she has an amazing voice and each song is well produced. Her voice is very unique and soothing.

  • I agree with everyone else--buy it now!
    author: David Foss

    Hard to say anything original here, given all the other rave reviews. Great showcase for her voice, marvelous original tunes, interesting and entertaining mix of musical styles. An excellent first album, and a must for any fans of her stage work. Rocks harder than you might expect, if you only know Idina from the musicals she's been in.

  • author: Marcus

    I love it!!!!!!! GReat CD, very mellow in some songs, but can bring feeling to the songs that are "rockier--if thats a word". Idina Menzel has an amazing voice no matter what she does. I'm so glad I got this CD from Cdbaby.com

  • A great and varied CD
    author: Nicole

    I really enjoy this CD. Idina Menzel has an amazing voice, and it is interesting to hear her do something other than Broadway. I liked the variety of the music as well as the quality.

  • i love it
    author: sara

    This CD is so ..personal, and thast what I love about it. She isnt singing about nonsence, rainbows and ponys and whatnot, shes singing about things that matter to her. You can listen to ehr lyrics and say ok that part is about Taye. you know where shes coming from. the one thing not perfect about this album is that after seeing her twice in wicked, i know her voice can do so much more than she uses it on this album. but for emotion and meaning she gets four stars

  • I love the energy!!!
    author: Kalvin Gray

    I love Larissa's Logoon and Reach.... Do your thang!!!

  • Phenominal, Spectacluar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Arlena

    Idina has an amazing talent!!! The CD really emphasizes her talent. She was awesome in Wicked and continues to show her talent. She's got a Spectacular Voice!!!!!!!!

  • Idina's voice is amazing!!!
    author: Blanton

    This cd is awesome! I love all of the songs especially "Minuet" and "Planet Z"!! Idina's voice is just so unbelievable!!

  • Fantastic CD
    author: Alissa

    This CD really showcases Idina's voice. She is an incredible singer and lyricist. There is a mixture of songs from just about every genre, so there is something for everyone. Her voice is just so powerful, so even if you haven't seen or heard of her B'way shows, chances are, you'll adore this cd.

  • This album KICKS
    author: D. Warren

    WOW, Idina really shows her chops on this eclectic mix of tunes. Some take a while to latch onto, but that's only because they showcase an extreme variety of moods and styles.

  • Amazing
    author: MARS

    This CD is simply amazing. Idina is so dear to me from her Broadway performances- RENT, THE WILD PARTY, and WICKED. This CD just showcases another side to her and you're certainly bound to get hooked on the songs immediately, especially 'Minuet.' I also highly reccommend her EP, 'Here,' which she autographed for me when I saw WICKED.

  • WOW!
    author: Brittney Partlow

    I just finished listening to her CD and it is incredible! A very unique mix between pop and rock!WOW!

  • "Still" is still as wonderful as it was in 1998!
    author: Ava Bartlett

    I got "Still I Can't Be Still" when it first came out in 1998 and still enjoy it just as much 6 years later. It's a great mix of styles and Idina's voice is simply amazing. I've also been following Idina's career since 1998 and have had the pleasure of seeing her in concert several times. She's a fabulous live performer - her voice is even more gorgeous and she sings with so much emotion it's impossible not to feel what she feels in each song. I'm so glad this CD is being offered for sale again (after several years of being "out of print") so more people can discover this wonderful artist.

  • This Rocks My Socks!!!!! Wow!!!
    author: Meg Wilson

    This is an amazing CD, it really has tons of emotion. I've seen Idina on Broadway, but "Still..." is better because it shows her real personality, not someone else's. She's an amazing singer., and a great actress too. Buy the CD! It's incredible, and worth every cent!

  • WOW!!!
    author: Ashley

    This is an incredible CD. It just shows off how versatile Idina is as a musician! I love it!

  • Pretty killer voice and some poignant lyrics.
    author: Taryn

    This CD was very different from what I expected to hear, in a good way. "Reach," "Minuet," "Heart On My Sleeve," and "All Of The Above" are really stand-out songs. Not something I'd blast in my car (it's too mellow for that) but it's still pretty wicked. No pun intended.

  • Wow!
    author: Beth

    What a great CD! Like nothing I've ever heard anyone do. Great voice, increadible music and lyrics. Love the sound and hope to hear more soon.

  • ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THIS WORLD INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
    author: Kristin Ross

    This CD is sooooo amazing!!! The song lyrics are so wonderful and the music and orchestrations fit perfectly. I can relate to everything Idina writes, and she is such an amazing singer!!! This album really makes a bold statement and I LOVE it!! It's my life-anthem!! (or something like that) Hahaha. =) Thanks, Idina!!! =D

  • Can't help loving that Idina of Mine!!!
    author: Gregory

    The CD has some great songs, and is truly gorgeous. It really shows how multi-talented Idina really is! You just can't help loving her and her voice and the unique aspects that she brings to anything she does. Can't wait for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing
    author: Erin

    Idina is so amazing! This cd is so much fun to listen to... the songs are great, the variety of styles, that voice!! ... It (and she) is awesome!

  • GREAT
    author: Jessica

    This CD was wonderfull. I really enjoy it.

  • Fun
    author: Robin

    This CD is very fun, and eclectic. There are some beautiful introspective songs, like "Minuet", and other songs that are strong and powerful, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, "Planet Z" and "All of the Above".

  • Awesome CD
    author: Lan

    I've been dying to hear more of Idina since Wicked and felt this CD was the place to start. It's simply awesome! There's no other way to describe it. Filled w/ excellent and unique songs this CD is definitely for all Idina fans and those looking for something new.

  • Awesome CD
    author: Gina Lyn

    I thought this CD was a great buy. It has a little bit of everything and it's great to listen to, especially while driving. I heard Idina Menzel do more Broadway, but her style here is just as fun to listen to- she has a real rocker feel, while still having the power and soul behind it. Four stars!

  • Finally! A CD that dosen't make me snore.
    author: Olivia

    Ok, all my friends think Idina Menzel is creepy because Of her Wicked apperence exept my close friends. Well, they are so WRONG!! After I heared this CD, I understood how Idina Menzel Feels

  • Unlike Any Other
    author: Kristy

    I ended up buying and downloading this CD off iTunes because I was impatient for it to take the few days to come in the mail. That was in January, and now it's the end of June. Idina Menzel has quickly become my favorite artist. I've since seen her in "Wicked" and gotten that CD as well as "Here" and the off-broadway "The Wild Party" and she's distinctive and perfect in them all. This one is no exception, and has been in constant repetition for all these months. Which, if you knew me, is saying something.

  • AMAZING!!!
    author: Dana

    Idina is AMAZING! I have loved her for years, but only recently bought this CD, and her talent once again astounded me. The lyrics, instrumentals, vocals, everything is so well done! You HAVE to hear this amazing talent named Idina! ;)

  • Idina Menzel is a vocal powerhouse!
    author: clint

    I just saw Ms. Mendel in Wicdked this past weekend...she is an amazing performer! This CD will probably melt from over-play! Thank you!

  • Love the CD
    author: Alicia

    I love this CD. I had one previously and lost it and was so happy to have found one at CDbaby. Especially at the affordable price compared to others I found

  • I love it!
    author: Kyle

    I found out about Idina because of "Wicked," and I had to get her CD. It took awhile for it to grow on me, but now I love it!

  • Fabulous on all fronts!
    author: Jill

    I just got my copy the afternoon after Idina won the Tony for "Wicked" (apropos, huh?). I tried (silly me) to read a magazine while playing the CD in the background, but the lyrics, music and je ne sais quois (call it Idina-ness) of this album kept stealing my focus. There's no filler or drivel--every track is infused with intelligence and depth. Stellar--I recommend this to anyone equipped with ears.

  • Well-written, beautiful music by a beautiful and talented artist!
    author: Rachel Nesser

    The songs are poetic and beautifully written, and sung in a heartfelt, soulfull way.

  • Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Gretchen

    This is brillant!!!!!! Excellent!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!

  • Excellent-different from "Here"-I liked it better.
    author: Bill

    I purchased "Here" at the play "Wicked". I had to have Idina's other CD so I ordered it and found that I like "Still" even more. The style is different but still very enjoyable.

  • Amazing work from a talented artist!

    Idina Menzel has been great from the beginning, and she's way more than just a killer voice. Her lyrics and style are unique and powerful, and 'Still I Can't Be Still' is quite a showcase of her true talent. 'Here' is wonderful as well, and I'll see her on Broadway any chance I get. Idina rocks!

  • That voice!
    author: Jolene

    The most honest songwriting I have come across in a long, long time. And that voice! Constantly sends a shiver through me, makes me smile, forces me to catch my breath and finds me shaking my head in pure wonderment. Can't believe I just discovered Ms. Menzel but am so grateful that I have.

  • Idina Menzel is a Goddess!!!

    Idina is absolutely amazing! Everything about this CD is just simply wonderful. She is an amazing lyricist, and to match that, she has a voice that I could listen to all the time and only love it more and more. You can really tell how much passion and energy she put into this CD, because once you listen to it once, you will never be able to take it out of your cd player (unless you are going to listen to 'Here,' 'Wicked,' or another cd with Idiina on it). Her voice makes my soul fly!

    This CD is a wonderful blend of passionate lyrics, beautiful melodies, and an amazingly expressive voice. For someone looking for a pop album filled with personality, attitude and emotion, "Still I Can't Be Still" is a dream come true.

    I have been looking for this CD for quite a while, and I was just so estatic when CDBaby got more in stock. It is absolutely one of the best albums I own, great from start to finish. If you have a chance, get out to see her in Wicked ASAP! She and Kristin Chenoweth are absolutely wonderful and one of them is definitely walking out with the Tony this year (my money is on Idina!). I was even able to get Idina to sign my copy of "Still" when I saw Wicked earlier this month- she was very pleased to see some real fans out and about! Soulful and amazing, she's destined for greatness

  • Her voice is like no other. This CD is AMAZING

  • Something for everyone
    author: Jennifer

    This CD is incredible! There is at least on song on here for everyone - no matter what type of music you prefer. Her range is incredible and her style versatile. I can't even find anything bad to say!!

  • Leaves you breathless
    author: Joe

    STILL I CAN'T BE STILL is by far the best CD I have listened to in the past decade. Ms. Menzel's vocals are beyond talented; she truly approaches greatness in every literal sense of the word. Her lyrics are honest, poignant, and at times profound. The instrumentation and the playing ability of her band is outstanding. In short, this is a perfect album that, at least in this genre, is entirely unrivaled. Buy it now.

  • She's unbelievable!
    author: Noelle

    This CD is great! She has an incredible gift with writing lyrics. You definitely want to own this cd!

  • Idina is a godess!
    author: Beth

    I picked up this CD cause I am huge Rent head and the person I bought it from said it was "different". Well I have to say the word should have been mind changing. The music and lyrics are so creative that when I am in a creative mode this is one of the only cds that can keep me going. A wonderful introduction to a truly great talent on the rise!

  • Idina Has Captured My "Heart On My Sleeve"

    I have never heard more honest lyrics in my life. That is what originally drew me into Idina's original music. The tunes are catchy and incredibly versatile. Her voice has a jazzy edge that's irresistable! Everyone should own Still I Can't Be Still!

  • Love it!
    author: Heather Frye

    Love it!!!! This cd has a mixture of everything. The lyrics and music of each track dance together to create a whirlwind of emotion from beginning to end. A true masterpiece.

  • Idina's voice will just knock you socks off.
    author: CHINASKI (www.cdbaby.com/cd/chinaski)

    This CD showcases her lovely clear voice before she went on to bigger things (just wait until the "Wicked" soundtrack)! There are many unusual and funky songs on the CD. My preferences are "Straw into Gold" and the more traditional cabaret-style song, "Heart on My Sleeve." The last really showcases her sweet voice. Let's keep an eye on this rising star.

  • Idina's "Still" in My CD Player
    author: Jeff Davis

    Maybe I'm a little biased about Ms. Menzel. She's stared in some of my favorite musicals, and I had the joy of seeing her perform in "Wicked" this past summer. Still, I think people who aren't familiar with Idina would still like this CD. From the tender balads, such as the title song, "Heart on Her Sleave," and "Follow if You Lead," to the more belty, rocking songs, such as "Larissa's Lagoon," this CD shows off all Idina has to offer. It lets her brassy, belty sound out, as well as her sweeter, more sensitive sound. My only complaint is that her wonderfully sexy, jazzy cover of "Come Rain or Come Shine," which can be easily found on the net, is not on this CD.

  • Great
    author: Steph

    It was everything I hoped it would be. Great music and lyrics.

  • Idina...WOW.
    author: Courtney

    Wow. Still I Can't Be Still is AMAZING. You can absolutely hear evcery one of Idina's emotions in her soulful singing and lyrics. This CD is a true insight into the incredible person that Idina is. As the images of dizziness on the cover suggests, Idina was going through a kind of confusing point in her life when this CD was written and recorded, and all of those feelings come out in songs to which that every person can relate. So try and buy Idina's first solo album--let's get this CD back on the market!!!
