Vonda Shepard: Last News

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic No need to send out a search party for the “Searchin’ My Soul” singer. It’s true that Vonda Shepard has kept a low profile of late, not just during the pandemic but for a few years before it, not having released an album of new material since 2015’s “Rookie.” But she’s back with her ninth studio album, “Red Light, Green Light,” titled in part for the stop-and-go feelings a lot of us might have experienced during the past two and a half years. For Shepard at least, who has touring dates now lined up on the east coast and in Europe to follow the new release, all systems are go, again. For the still-curious who never really checked out Shepard’s discography outside of the “Ally McBeal” music, which she produced as well as sang, the new album is a chance to discover anew that she’s not just a soul-revue woman, but a distinguished songwriter when she’s out from under the covers. For those who already knew her from top-flight original albums like “It’s Good, Eve” and “By 7:30,” it’s a revisitation with a next-gen figure whose work snuggles comfortably alongside that of her piano-based ‘70s forebears.

“Ally McBeal” alum, 59, recently teased that a reboot of her hit ‘90s legal drama could be in the cards.“I think there are some people talking about a reboot, but I don’t know much about it,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the New York City premiere of “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” on Tuesday.She added that she “would be game to revive the show.” “Sure, I’m always game.”Talk about a possible reboot was reignited after the “Ally McBeal” cast reunited at the Emmy Awards earlier this month.The series aired on Fox from 1997 until 2002 and also starred Greg Germann, Jane Krakowski, Gil Bellows, Lucy Liu, Peter MacNicol and Courtney Thorne-Smith.The show followed lawyer Ally McBeal (Flockhart) as she worked in the Boston law firm Cage and Fish.At the Emmy Awards ceremony, Germann, 65, MacNicol, 69, Bellows, 56, and Flockhart (who was in attendance with husband Harrison Ford) reunited on stage.She first appeared at the podium solo, with the show’s theme song, “Searchin’ My Soul” by Vonda Shepard playing in the background.The three men then came out dancing and joined her.

It might seem like a long time since you’ve heard of the series Ally McBeal, 20 years to be exact, but it looks like the show could be making a comeback.

This Primetime Emmy-winning hit show from the late '90s helped to put several stars on the map, including Calista Flockhart and Jane Krakowski.And on Friday, TV Line reported that a revival of Ally McBeal is currently in the works, with titular star Calista, 56, eyed to return.The fantastical comedy-drama followed an over-imaginative attorney as she navigated the ups and downs of both her personal and professional life.
