Simply titled "Swell," the new recording — produced by McKay Garner — is due in stores March 16. About the CD, Cortés said in a statement, "R&B, jazz, pop or country…if it feels good and sounds good, do it! I can't imagine not writing music and singing. It's like breathing to me, and along the way, if I can tell a good story or sing a track that makes people want to move, it's all I can ask." The complete track listing for "Swell" follows:
Every Other Thought
Marguerite
Any Day Now
It's All Right
Parade
Empty Walls
Last Train to Clarksville
If I Only Had a Brain
Roam
Rise
Never My Love
Couldn't Ask For More
Pilot Bird
Love'll Come & Do Just That
Was it You?
Swell
