HEIGHTS' Christopher Jackson Debuts IN THE NAME OF LOVE CD, 2/15

YELLOW SOUND LABEL will release the debut CD of acclaimed Broadway performer CHRISTOPHER JACKSON on iTunes, Amazon.com and other online outlets February 15, 2011, and then in stores on March 29. In the Name of Love is a new album of soulful and melodic contemporary R&B written and co-produced by Mr. Jackson.

The day of the release, there will be a special concert event at The Canal Room in New York with special guests Arthur and the Geniuses. The album, which will also be available for sale at the event, is packed with memorable hooks, universal lyrics and songs that showcase Jackson's powerful and sensitive voice. Jackson co-produced the album with Michael Murphy, Bill Sherman and Michael Croiter.

Jackson recently starred as Benny in the Tony Award winning musical hit, In the Heights and TV shows such as "White Collar," "Nurse Jackie," and "Gossip Girl." He is also a veteran of the long-running Broadway production of Disney's The Lion King, directed by Julie Taymor. As a composer and songwriter, he has written for the iconic television series "Sesame Street" lending his music and lyrics to songs like "I Love My Hair" and "What I Am" performed by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. He also has written songs for A-list artists such as LL Cool J, Ne-Yo, Mario, Sean Kingston and many others.

In The Name of Love - an eclectic collection that shows the influences of Jackson's musical inspirations Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield and the Isley Brothers, yet strives to move beyond them - opens with the title number, an emotional love song about the joys of a new romance. The rhythmically uplifting "Be A Light" delivers a pointed message of hope in a time of adversity. "One More Day," based on Jackson's experience of his mother fighting and beating cancer, deftly explores issues of faith and tradition.

The Canal Room is located on 285 West Broadway at Canal Street New York City. Doors open at 7:30 PM and show time is 8:00 PM. Tickets, which are $12.00 in advance and $15.00 at the door, are available at www.ticketweb.com or at the venue.
