Digital sheet music for the songs, published by Concord Music Publishing and released by Hal Leonard, will also be released on the same day.

The album is produced by four-time Emmy Award winner Jeffrey Lesser and three-time Tony Award winner Brown, who also serves as arranger, orchestrator, and pianist, and is co-produced by three-time Grammy Award-winner Sean Patrick Flahaven, Chief Theatricals Executive for Concord. The album was recorded by Isaiah Abolin and mastered by Oscar Zambrano with art direction by Derek Bishop.

Conceived and directed by Daisy Prince, with a book by Jonathan Marc Sherman, the new musical about two talented young journalists, a fast-rising writer who must confront how far he’ll go for the ultimate scoop, and an editor who must decide how far she’ll go to stop him, had its world premiere at MCC Theater earlier this year.
