The Best Of American Idol

Remember Jason Castro from American Idol? Well, now he’s with Word Entertainment, which represents some of the top names and brands in christian music, including Point Of Grace, BarlowGirl, Francesca Battistelli, and is releasing a new christian music album on November 9. The christian album, titled Who I Am, will be released exclusively on his website and at all christian retailers.
This album is a unique collection of songs; featuring five fresh tracks including the new single “You Are” to hit the Christian AC airwaves in October, alongside five fan-favorites from his self-titled debut album released this past spring. It includes tracks produced by both Eric Rosse (Tori Amos
, Sara Bareilles) and Ian Eskelin (All Star United, Francesca Battistelli, Remedy Drive). Castro also collaborated with a host of top-notch songwriters, including Marc Roberge of O.A.R., Gregg Wattenberg (Five For Fighting), Zac Maloy (David Cook) and Espionage (Train).
The end result is a exceptional collection of truly heartfelt songs about love that relays what Castro calls a positive message of love and acceptance, including his hit single “Let’s Just Fall In Love Again” and his stunning version of the Leonard Cohen classic “Hallelujah.” Who I Am is an extension of the successful release of his self-titled album, which debuted at the #18 spot on the Billboard Top 200.
Also coming out on November 9 is the digital only five song EP entitled Changing Colors: Live From Studio 1290, which features live, full band acoustic versions of the songs “Changing Colors,” “If I Were You,” “It Matters To Me,” “Love Uncompromised” and his version of the Tom Petty tune ““Learning To Fly.”
