RISE SEASON 1: THE ALBUM Featuring SPRING AWAKENING & More Out Now

Atlantic Records has officially unveiled "RISE SEASON 1: THE ALBUM," available now at all DSPs and streaming services HERE.

Today's release marks the culmination of Atlantic Records' prolific slate of weekly musical releases tied to "Rise," NBC's new drama series from the producers of "Hamilton," "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood." Over the past several weeks, Atlantic has released original cast recordings of the tracks featured in the following Tuesday's episode of "Rise." The complete collection, available today, features selected tracks released over the course of the season, alongside additional unreleased songs from the cast (see attached tracklisting).

Recently, the "Rise" cast feat. Auli'i Cravalho performed a breathtaking cover of Alessia Cara's "Scars To Your Beautiful" - included on "RISE SEASON 1: THE ALBUM" - on NBC's The Voice. Watch the performance in full HERE. Also included on the album, as unveiled this week by Entertainment Weekly, is "All You Desire," a new "Spring Awakening" song written by the Broadway show's composer, Duncan Sheik and lyricist, Steven Sater exclusively for "Rise." "All You Desire" will be performed during next week's "Rise" season 1 finale and feature vocals by cast members including Auli'i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Amy Forsyth, and Ted Sutherland.

ABOUT "RISE"

From Jason Katims, executive producer and showrunner of "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood," and "Hamilton producer" Jeffrey Seller comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in unexpected places. When dedicated teacher Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt, and takes over the lackluster theater department and its ambitious plans for a school production of "Spring Awakening," he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but also the entire working-class town.

The cast includes Josh Radnor, Rosie Perez, Auli'i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Marley Shelton, Rarmian Newton, Ted Sutherland, Amy Forsyth, Casey W. Johnson, Taylor Richardson, Joe Tippett, and Shirley Rumierk.

"Rise" is created by Jason Katims, who serves as showrunner and executive producer. Jeffrey Seller, Flody Suarez and Michelle Lee also executive produce. Mike Cahill directs and executive produces the pilot.

"Rise" is produced by Universal Television, True Jack Productions and Seller Suarez Productions.
