Actress-turned-author Molly Ringwald is hoping to conquer the music world by releasing an album of standards.

The Breakfast Club star’s debut, Except… Sometimes, will be released in April.

The daughter of jazz pianist Bob Ringwald, the star’s upcoming release will feature her renditions of songs like I Get Along Without You Very Well and I’ll Take Romance, and she also takes on Madonna’s Dick Tracy tune Sooner or Later.

At her Tuesday night New York concert debut at the 54 Below club, Ringwald ended her set with a jazz version of Simple Minds’ Don’t You (Forget About Me), which served as the theme for The Breakfast Club. (KL/HR/MT)
