Movin'! is a studio album by Kay Starr. It was released in 1959 by Capitol Records (catalog no. T-1254).^[1] Produced by Dave Cavanaugh, it was her first album after returning to Capitol. While RCA Victor had her singing material with a pop orientation, the liner notes assert Capitol's intention to "reaffirm her status as a great jazz vocalist." She was backed on the album by an orchestra conducted by Van Alexander and a big band.^[2]

AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars.^[3] Reviewer Greg Adams wrote that the album "delivers pure big band and traditional pop music with a swingin' beat and Starr's soulful phrasing."^[3]
