Kristin Chenoweth on Roping in Ariana and Dolly For Her New 'Female Empowerment' Album

Kristin Chenoweth attends Grammys on the Hill 2019 on April 9, 2019 in Washington, DC.

Produced by Steve Tyrell, the record features Chenoweth covering an array of tracks either written or performed by female artists, with a tracklist running the gamut from Judy Garland’s brooding “The Man Who Got Away” to Carole King’s “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” The set also boasts a slew of impressive guest stars, like Dolly Parton , Jennifer Hudson and Reba McEntire , and Ariana Grande . “Why not push the boundaries?" says Chenoweth.

I actually originally recorded it as a solo, and realized I needed a partner, and thought it’d be cool to get her. I know she’s busy, and she’s the biggest star on the planet and I never expected her to say yes, but she did. I wanted to get in an old-school and new-school vibe with Ariana, and I think we achieved that -- especially with additions like an old-school orchestra and an electric guitar.

I can’t believe you just used that phrase, because that’s exactly what I said to Steve: I wanted to give the song back. Dolly sung it so long, and it represented her taking a bet on herself. She left her mentor, her teacher, her partner to strike out on her own, and that was a good lesson for a lot of artists to see: just go for it and bet on yourself. She wrote that song and “Jolene” on the same day.
