As Georgia Stitt gears up to release her new album of original songs A Quiet Revolution (out digitally April 10 and on shelves May 1 from Craft Recordings/Concord Theatricals), the composer and music director drops this single sung by two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster.
The two collaborated on the 2016 Off-Broadway revival of Sweet Charity, which Foster starred in and Stitt music directed. Though the song “Stop” was written in 2012, Stitt and Foster both feel its message resonates all the stronger today. Listen to Foster’s rendition in the video above.
