It’s official! Jason Castro’s self-titled debut will arrive in stores and at all online retailers on April 13th. The self-titled album will be preceded by the new single, “That’s What I’m Here For” which is slated to hit Hot AC radio outlets nationwide on March 8th. That same day will also see “That’s What I’m Here For” – coupled with an exclusive rendition of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” one of the songs that helped earn him a third-runner up finish on the 2008 season of Fox’s American Idol – go on sale at digital retailers everywhere.
Castro is also slated to perform both songs on ABC’s upcoming special, The Bachelor: Jason & Molly’s Wedding, from Warner Horizon Television. The two-hour television event airs Monday, March 8th (check local listings).
To fully capture the moods he wanted, Castro collaborated with producer Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos) and 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) — all of whom helped make “JASON CASTRO” an ideal showcase for his considerable gifts as a vocalist, songwriter, and musician.
“I feel like the album really captures my personality,” Jason says. “People got to know me a bit on the show, so I wanted to build on that by including all these songs I’ve written about my life. I wanted to share with people the things that are meaningful to me.”
