Emmy Rossum's Sentimental Journey will be released on January 29, 2013. She sings beautifully in this collection of classic songs. It truly is a sentimental journey listening to these songs again, and she sings them so lovely. The first song on the CD is Sentimental Journey and it's great! I love all the soft music, the instruments and her voice in the entire CD. Summer Wind is so good! I'm not sure I could pick a favorite song...every song is wonderful and heartfelt.
You'll find yourself singing along to Many Tears Ago, I'm sure we all have someone we had tears for and have picked ourselves up and moved on-she sings- cried you outta my heart, and many tears ago. There are twelve songs on the CD, each song for each month. She actually planned it that way. The song is either about the season or some thing about the season that brings out and emotion.
The CD is perfect for dinner music, date night, or the drive home from work, or just for some me time. Share the music with your girls night out, or girls night in with food and drinks.
Sentimental Journey tops my list for a Valentine's Day gift (hint hint)

Sentimental Journey Track Listing:
Emmy's 12-song 'passion project' is an emotional musical journey, with each song representing a month in the year.
"Each song needed to either lyrically or emotionally reflect the corresponding month," Emmy explained. "Some songs were obvious fits, like Summer Wind for June, and Pretty Paper for December. Others songs were less literal fits. I chose Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) for September because, to me, the plaintive melody and lyric emotionally reflect the cold weather creeping in and the sense of melancholy we can get in the fall months."
Rossum is also an acclaimed actress who currently stars in the Showtime series Shameless with William H. Macy. She also stars alongside Emma Thompson and Viola Davis in the upcoming feature film Beautiful Creatures, which hits theaters on February 13th
