Ace Young - The Album Lands on May 13, 2008

The fifth season finalist who co-wrote Daughtry's hit single "It's Not Over" has completed his first album, scheduled for release on May 13.

"When I finished the 'Idol" tour, my brother Ryan asked me to make a list of the top five people I wanted to work with. Desmond Child was on top." A meeting with Child scheduled for 30 minutes stretched to three-and-a-half hours. "It was the most interesting meeting I've ever been to," says Young. "At the end of it Child said he would like to do one song or the whole album, whatever we wanted."

Child executive produced the entire album and Young wrote 11 songs, collaborating with Child as well as Andreas Carlsson. Diane Warren contributed a song. It will be released on Pazzo Music through Universal's Fontana imprint. A single, "Addicted," will go to radio in April.
