<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Singer-songwriter & actress <b>Katharine McPhee</b> is excited to announce her upcoming album,
<b><u>Hysteria</u></b>, to be released on <b>Friday, July 24<sup>th</sup></b> via Entertainment One Music (eOne Music). The debut track off of the album, “<b>Lick My Lips”</b> was released
<b>TODAY</b> via <b>Billboard.com</b>.<b> </b><a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6575997/katharine-mcphee-new-album-lick-my-lips-smash"><b>PRESS HERE</b></a> to check it out!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Katharine’s latest album represents a huge transition for her as an artist as she has immersed herself in every creative element, from the conception of the song to the melody, lyrics, production, and more. This
album marks Katharine’s first real hands-on experience in the involvement of all facets of a song creation. She is actively collaborating with writers and producers, as opposed to simply stepping into a vocal booth and recording the vocals for a track. Isabella
“Machine” Summers co-wrote and produced 5 of the songs. Ryan Tedder co-wrote one of the singles. Katharine was involved in the writing of every, single track on the album.<span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

“Terrified” was later released with former <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Chuck</span></em> star Zachary Levi. The album went gold in 2008, and in 2009, she garnered a Young Hollywood Award for Best Female Vocalist. Katharine McPhee
