(PR) Twenty-one-year-old artist Hilary McRae will release her debut album on Hear Music in spring 2008, making her the first developing artist signed to the label launched by Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group earlier this year. The album features a stunning mix of contemporary pop and old-school, horn-drenched R&B, all anchored by McRae�s rich, soulful voice. McRae, an accomplished pianist and vocalist, penned all of the album�s songs.

�Hilary has a great soulful sound and we are excited to play a significant role in the launch of what will be a long and successful career,� said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment who oversees Hear Music. �Hear Music has a strong belief in fostering the talent of quality musicians and we believe we�ve found a gem in this artist.�

McRae collaborated with producer Zach Ziskin on the album. The duo met when Hilary recorded her first demos as a 16-year-old. In addition, McRae enlisted the talents of Charlie Calello, who has arranged music for legends such as Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen, to put together the horn section on the album.

�I am so honored Hear Music will be releasing this record,� said McRae. �As an artist, I pour my heart out in every note I compose and sing. It is amazing to have the support of a label who works with that same passion.�
