Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2004, 'Scores' marks a unique phase in Barry Manilow's career as his first album focused on original compositions since 2001's 'If I Should Love Again.' By this time, he had solidified his status as a pop icon, often revisiting classic arrangements and standards, but here he stepped into more theatrical territory, blending elements of musical theater with his pop sensibilities.
