About this album
What’s New is one of Linda Ronstadt’s most celebrated stylistic departures, pairing her clear, expressive voice with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra on a refined set of standards. Released in 1983, the album showed Ronstadt moving beyond rock and pop into classic pre-war and Great American Songbook material, bringing fresh attention to songs such as “What’s New”, “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Lover Man”. Riddle’s elegant arrangements frame her phrasing with restraint rather than sentimentality, giving the record its lasting appeal. The album helped broaden Ronstadt’s reputation and confirmed the enduring power of well-sung standards.
