Sentimental Journey is the second studio album by American actress and singer Emmy Rossum. Released in 2013, it represented a departure in both sound and style from her previous album, 2007's New Age-inspired Inside Out . While the last release's material was almost entirely original, with Rossum even co-writing the majority of the songs, Sentimental Journey is comprised of covers of traditional pop standards, all originally written between the 1920s and the 1960s and considered to be part of the Great American Songbook. [2] It was also designed as a loose concept album about the passage of time, with each of the first 12 songs corresponding to a month in the Gregorian calendar.

Sentimental Journey features many of the same people who worked on her first album, including producer Stuart Brawley and musician Joe Corcoran. [3] "Pretty Paper" was the first single from the album and was released as a digital single on November 27, 2012. [4] [5] Rather than traditional music videos, "vignettes" were filmed and released to promote the album that featured Rossum in costumes and settings from various periods of the early 20th century.

Rossum promoted the album by performing "These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)" [8] on The View and on Entertainment Tonight . [9] Other media appearances in support of the album included performances on Access Hollywood on January 25, Conan on January 28, Chelsea Lately on January 29, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on February 6.
