VIDEO: Idina Menzel Talks New Music, Performs New Song on TODAY

Broadway star Idina Menzel stopped by this morning's TODAY to discuss the last few years of her life, which have brought both challenges and rewards. "Some of it was kind of crappy, like going through a divorce, and then other things were amazing, like singing at the Oscars a few years ago", says the Tony winner, adding "So there's a lot of dynamics and a lot of stuff to write about." Later, Menzel performs "Queen Of Swords" from her new highly anticipated self-titled album, out tomorrow, September 23rd.

Menzel's new album will feature the tracks Small World, Like Lightning, Queen of Swords, Everybody Knows, Show Me, Last Time, I Do, Cake, Extraordinary, Perfect Story, Nothin' in This World, and I See You, which is currently available for download when you pre-order the entire album.

Tony Award-winning icon Idina Menzel has a diverse career that traverses stage, film, television and music. Menzel's voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney's global box office smash "Frozen," in which she sings the film's Oscar-winning song "Let It Go," and in the follow-up short, "Frozen Fever." After Menzel's performance of the multi-platinum song at the 86th AnnualAcademyAwards, she made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting.

Menzel earned her first Tony nomination as Maureen in the Pulitzer Prize winner "Rent," and won the award for her performance as Elphaba in "Wicked." Other notable projects include "Glee" and Disney's "Enchanted." She embarked on a worldwide tour in 2015 that included Asia, UK and North America. In addition to cast albums, Menzel's prolific recording career includes the solo albums "I Stand," "Here" and "Still I Can't Be Still."

Her first-ever Christmas album "Holiday Wishes," released October 2014 on Warner Bros. Records, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart, broke into the top 10 on Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and received rave reviews. Menzel was most recently seen on Broadway as Elizabeth in the original production "If/Then," for which she earned her third Tony nomination. Menzel also sang the National Anthem at SUPER BOWL XLIX, which set the record for the most-watched show in U.S. history.
