Lea Michele Launches Pre-Order for New Album 'Places'; Announces Tour Dates

Actress and singer Lea Michele has launched the preorder for her upcoming sophomore album Places. The 11 track album, which is set to release on April 28, features the previously released "Love Is Alive" and new song "Anything's Possible," which USA TODAY says is an "anthem that's ready to inspire." Check out the "Love Is Alive" performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Lea will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, March 16.

Following three intimate sold out shows at New York's Appel Room and Los Angeles' The Broad Stage and Hotel Cafe in January, Lea recently announced that she will reprise her successful Intimate Evening With shows in North America with music from her upcoming album Places. The shows will start with a limited run on May 1, 2017 where Lea will travel through North America in cities including Boston, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Seattle, San Francisco and Canada. Tickets are available now, and every pair purchased online for includes a copy of Places. Please visit www.leamichelemusic.com for all details.

"When it came time to name my album, I settled on 'Places' because this album for me represents a return to form, a return to the stage, and a return to the place I belong," Lea says. "When you perform on Broadway the word "Places" is the last thing you hear over the loudspeaker before a show is about to begin. "Places" I thought was the perfect title for this music and how it reflects who I am as an artist today and where I come from."

Lea is set to release her sophomore album 'Places' on April 28 via Columbia Records.
