Release date confirmed for Close to You cast recording

It has been announced that Close To You's cast recording will be released in June.

Ghostlight Records will release the album in digital formats on Friday 24th June, with two-disc physical copies online and in stores from Friday 1st July. 

Seen in New York and London, Close To You (previously named What's It All About) revitalises the catalogue of the iconic American composer Burt Bacharach for a new generation with Kyle Riabko’s visionary interpretations. The album also features special bonus tracks of Riabko’s never-before-heard original demos, which formed the basis for the project. 

The 28-page booklet includes a note from Riabko, liner notes, production and studio photography and opening night photos of Bacharach with the cast. The cast includes Daniel Bailen, Greg Coulson, Anastacia McCleskey, Stephanie McKeon, Renato Paris and James Williams alongside Riabko.

The recording features over 30 beautifully-reimagined versions of classics such as “Alfie,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Walk On By,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” “The Look of Love,” “What’s New Pussycat?”, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Don’t Make Me Over,” “(There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me,” “A House Is Not A Home,” and the title track "Close To You".
