Bette Midler to Drop First Album Since 2006: ‘It’s The Girls!’

Jake Folsom September 25, 2014

From the people who brought you "Beaches" and "Hairspray: The Musical" comes something gayer than you ever could've imagined. It's the triumphant return of Bette Midler, of course!

"It's The Girls!" was produced by Mark Shaiman ("Hairspray"), and it's dropping November 4 on Warner Bros. Records. The album is sure to push the boundaries of "campy" — from the title's exclamation point to the album's entire premise — covers, but only of girl group hits; it's everything from 30s trios like the Andrews Sisters to TLC.

Midler's enthusiasm for the project is palpable. Talking with Billboard, she says:

I have loved the sound of females harmonizing since I was a kid; I always sang along. Didn't we all? […] I think the idea that you could become part of the group was the thing that endeared me to the girl groups. You weren't just singing along, you were THERE!

Is she still the wind beneath your wings? Buy the album and find out.
