A concept recording of the brand new musical love story will be released digitally on February 7th and on CD on February 11th, 2014 to coincide with Valentine’s Day. There will be a special 54 BELOW album launch concert January 29th at 9:30 pm and January 30th at 9:30 pm where attendees will be able to buy the album 2 weeks early. This contemporary pop/rock concept album consists of songs from the forthcoming new musical Samson & Delilah with music and lyrics by Ron Yatter, former William Morris agent. Newly married lovers, and American Idol stars, Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo perform in the title roles. The songs are a unique combination of classic legit theater and pop/rock, creating a new musical sound that tells the epic, tragic love story of the biblical couple from two different worlds. Delilah, the beautiful young Philistine, falls in love with the mighty Samson, but when overcome by misguided jealousy, she betrays the man she loves. Though they both launched to stardom after appearing in different seasons on American Idol, it was in the Broadway revival of Hair where Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo met and fell in love. “Their love informs their beautiful and exciting portrayals of the album songs,” noted Ron Yatter. “We are thrilled to add Ace and Diana to the Broadway Records family. Their credits span both theater and pop music and their own love story make them the perfect portrayers of the album’s emotional musical journey,” stated Van Dean, Co-founder of Broadway Records.
