I'll Try Something New is the third studio album by the American R&B group the Miracles.It was released in July 1962 on Motown's Tamla label. The title track was an important early single for the group, featuring Smokey Robinson's lead voice, a chorus led by his wife Claudette and an orchestra of strings.
Miracles Bobby Rogers, Claudette Rogers Robinson, Pete Moore, and Ronnie White blend their voices into their trademark smooth harmonies to punctuate Smokey's vocals on the chorus and elsewhere. "(You Can) Depend on Me" was first released in September 1959 as the B-side of "The Feeling Is So Fine", which was quickly withdrawn. [1]
