The album is music directed by Benjamin Rauhala (Disney Princess - The Concert) with orchestrations by Macy Schmidt and will be available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

With another year of hurdles presented by COVID-19, the Write Out Loud Team - Louderman, Rauhala, Hannah Kloepfer (Pitch In), Sarah Glugatch, and Josh Collopy-- delayed production of the album until January of 2022 when it was safe to gather and amplify the work of the 2021 contest winners. The album comes in advance of a LIVE CONCERT at Feinstein's/54 Below on APRIL 26, 2022. Full details and concert casting to be announced.

In addition to the album release on March 18th, Write Out Loud will release exclusive music videos of the five winning songs featuring Altomare, Diamond, Genao, Klena and Renée on their Youtube Channel.
