Ace Young Releasing Debut Album
American Idol’s 7th place finisher from season 5 is releasing his first album. Ace Young has spent a lot of time doing charity work and establishing himself as basically a good human being so I am happy to hear that he is making an album. I know that when I think of Ace, the first performance that pops into my head was his memorable, sexy rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Butterflies.” His falsetto voice is great!
Anyway, the former Idol cutie has inked a deal with S Curve Records (Fountains of Wayne, Joss Stone). The album is set to be released in September but that’s basically all I know. There’s no title yet but I can tell you that Young will be backed by a full band on the album, which is being executive produced by hitmaker Desmond Child (Kelly Clarkson), with songs written by Diane Warren (‘NSYNC, Pussycat Dolls) and Andreas Carlson (Nick Lachey, Britney Spears). I’m not sure if any of you know that Ace actually helped Chris Daughtry write Daughtry’s first hit, “It’s Not Over.” He has said that he will be writing or co-writing all the tunes on his album as well as working on songs with “everyone,” though he declined to name names. “You’ll hear it when it happens,” he promised. …

Ace has been giving concerts all over the US and he is amazing! I can’t wait to have a full CD of his original songs to listen to. How often do you find a guy who’s talented, gorgeous, has the “it” factor, and also gives so much of his time to charity? Ace is my American Idol from all the seasons!

I am trying to buy his CD. Ace is great and perhaps the best from the season and the most talented. I want to support his career.
