“Build a Bridge” is Audra McDonald’s fourth solo album, released on September 26, 2006. It features a collection of songs with lovelorn lyrics, marking her take on music from the rock era.
McDonald, a Juilliard-educated Broadway star, includes works by theater composers like Adam Guettel, with the title track “Build a Bridge” being one of his compositions.
The album showcases covers of songs by notable pop/rock artists such as Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, John Mayer, and Neil Young, presenting a challenge for McDonald as an interpretive artist.
The AllMusic review by William Ruhlmann suggests that while McDonald made some good material choices and interpretations, the album’s ending tracks were less successful, particularly “Tom Cat Goodbye” by Laura Nyro.
