2015 Diana Krall – Wallflower
Wallflower is the twelfth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on February 3, 2015, by Verve Records. The album was produced by David Foster. The album’s supporting tour, Wallflower World Tour, began in Boston on February 25, 2015.
The album consists of cover songs of various pop and rock songs, the only previously unreleased track being “If I Take You Home Tonight” by Paul McCartney. He wrote the song for his album Kisses on the Bottom, in which he collaborated with Krall. Although the song did not make the cut for that album, Krall asked McCartney if she could record the song, and he gave his consent
