Singer-songwriter Michelle Branch signed a record deal with BMG , which will release her new EP of re-recorded songs, Everywhere and Back Again , on Nov. 6. The first release from the EP is a reimagined version of “The Game of Love,” a collaboration between Branch and New Radicals, whose vocalist, Gregg Alexander, co-wrote the song. Originally included on Santana’s 2002 album Shaman , “The Game of Love” served as that album’s lead single and eventually peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Branch and Santana also won a Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals for the track.
Everywhere and Back Again will feature re-recorded versions of select songs from Branch’s career, including several from her major label debut, The Spirit Room . The EP will feature guest collaborations with several artists yet to be announced.
