Never Saw It Comin' is the debut album for American Idol season five finalist Katharine McPhee. The album is slated for release on January 30, 2007.
Album background
The album's release date has been changed on many occasions, originally set for November 14, then November 28, then December 19, and eventually January 30. The album will be released by RCA Records in association with 19 Recordings Limited.
Three songs were uploaded to Promosquad on November 16, 2006 - "Open Toes," "Over It," and "Each Other." According to a November 29 article by MTV, McPhee has worked with the likes of Babyface, songwriter Kara DioGuardi, Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, and Timbaland's production partner, Nate Hills. Mentioned in the article was five potential tracks included on the album - "Somehow" (produced by Ryan Leslie), "Home" (a power ballad written by DioGuardi), "Each Other", "Neglected" (which McPhee co-wrote), and "Open Toes," however, "Somehow" did not make the tracklisting while the other four did. It has also been said that all of the tracks that Ryan Leslie produced were cut from the tracklisting. McPhee also stated that she does not want "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" to be included on the album, due to the fact that it is not the direction she wants to go with her music. [1]
On December 19, 2006, RCA Records released "I Lost You/Dangerous" single for a Wal-Mart exclusive [2]. They confirmed on their official website for Katharine McPhee that neither "I Lost You" or "Dangerous" will be the first official single and probably will not be included in the album. Also during that day, four song previews were uploaded on McPhee's MySpace profile: "Over It", "Each Other", "Open Toes" - which were previously uploaded to Promosquad - and a previously unheard song, titled, "Love Story."[3]
The first single off the album is "Over It." McPhee was quoted on AOL Music for describing the song, "it's a term that everyone uses, especially young girls. I didn't even realize just how much I used it. A lot of people will be able to relate to this song. This is really the only pure pop song on the record, so I thought it would be a good first single. It's not beating people over the head with the new Katharine. It's just a very sultry song about young love."[4]
