Back in 2006, Katharine recorded a track called “Do Me Right” for her debut album.  It was produced by Crime In The City producer Uness .  Today, that song finally sees the light of day with our exclusive online premiere for you right here, right now!

What do you get when you put together American Idol 2006 finalist Katharine McPhee and Crime In The City’s Canadian producer, singer/songwriter & visionary Uness? “Do Me Right” is the answer to that question! The combination of Uness’ on point producing skills & Katharine McPhee’s incredible vocals are guaranteed to make you enjoy “Do Me Right” over & over again!

After her debut album “Katharine McPhee” and critically acclaimed album “Unbroken”, Katharine has become a TV personality as one of the leading actresses in NBC’s successful musical drama series “Smash”, produced by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Two soundtracks were released and gained much success; “The Music Of Smash” and “Bombshell” which both include performances of Katharine.

Katharine recently chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about her upcoming new album, acting, and her favorite contestant on “The Voice.“  Check out what she had to say about getting personal in the songwriting process for her new record:

“I find the songwriting process a daunting thing. It’s not like being on a TV show or in a movie playing a part. You can hide behind someone’s words and be the character and not take responsibility for how it was written and you do the best with what you’re given. But when you’re writing a record, and making a record, you have to stand behind it.”

According to Deadline, Katharine has become attached to star in ‘Depravity’, a thriller with a script by Dennis Lehane and Paul Tamasy set to direct. In the film, a group of roommates accidentally kill an innocent man they thought was a thrill killer. It sends the group into a world unhinged from any moral compass, one in which they may be forced to confront not only the evil around them but the evil within them as well.

McPhee stars as a gorgeous twentysomething the group tries to scapegoat. The film is being produced by Dorothy Aufiero and Todd Eckert. McPhee is repped by The Schiff Company and WME. Stay tuned for more information!

It has been a fun ride for the past two years, but ‘Smash’ officially comes to an end tonight. Don’t miss the two-hour series finale on NBC starting at 9PM (8 central).

While you wait, preview a taste of the music that tonight’s finale has in store with this fantastic acapella version of “Broadway, Here I Come!” featuring Katharine and the entire Hit List cast.

Last night’s new episode of ‘Smash’ was the final Saturday airing of the show before the two-hour series finale on Sunday, May 26 at 9PM (8c) on NBC.

There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the episode.  Plus, there were two fantastic dance numbers staring Katharine’s character, Karen.  In case you missed it or just want to see it again, you can watch the episode embedded below, view it on Hulu, or purchase an HD download of it on iTunes.

Also, be sure to purchase the new Kat songs featured in the episode on iTunes! Click here for “Pretender” and click here for “I’m Not Sorry” (featuring Mara Davi).

After opening to disappointing ratings in its second season and subsequently getting moved to Saturday nights, ‘Smash’ has now been officially cancelled by NBC.

“Sure, I wish that it could have five more seasons, but we had two great seasons and all I can say is I loved every moment of it,” Katharine recently told The Hollywood Reporter in response to the fate of ‘Smash’, “I loved getting to the set, I loved the people, I loved my crew. We did amazing things on the show in two years.”

There are still three episodes remaining before we say goodbye to ‘Smash’ for good. A brand new episode airs tonight at 8PM (7c) and then the two-hour series finale (two back-to-back new episodes) will air on Sunday, May 26 from 9PM-11PM (8-10c).

So, what’s next for Kat? She is currently recording her new album under Columbia Records, which is scheduled for release later this year. She is working with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Ryan Tedder, The Dream, Sia, Linda Perry, and Salaam Remi.
