Drew Gasparini Releases New Album 'We Aren't Kids Anymore'

Today Craft Recordings/Concord Theatricals released award-winning composer Drew Gasparini's new album, We Aren't Kids Anymore (Original Studio Cast), a new theatrical song cycle that will be licensed worldwide for live performances by professional and amateur theatres through Concord Theatricals. The full album cast features Broadway's Nicholas Christopher (Hamilton), Lilli Cooper (Tootsie), Raymond J. Lee (Soft Power), Bonnie Milligan (Head Over Heels) and Colton Ryan (Girl from the North Country).

The full album can be streamed and downloaded HERE.

"I wrote We Aren't Kids Anymore in order to tell the stories of my journey as an artist," said Drew Gasparini. "As these songs evolved and I began to share them, I learned that others were relating to them on a very personal level, too. My hope is that these songs, this album, and this show serve as a kind of emotional adhesive that connects us and makes an artist's journey relatable in a universally human way."

"My mouth was on the floor listening to the singers on this album record Drew's music," added Tony Award nominee Lilli Cooper. "It's like he wrote each song for each unique voice. And it's always the most fun being in a recording studio with a bunch of music nerds like myself!"

We Aren't Kids Anymore explores the collision of artistic expression and the realities of growing up. How do we hold on to our childhood dreams and ideals as adult disillusionment sets in? How do we sustain life as artists without settling for others' definitions of success? And how do we recover when we lose those battles? These songs were born of Gasparini's journey forging a creative path and navigating the world at large, and his desire to offer empathy and hope to everyone doing the same.

The first single off the album, "When I Go," was released on March 27, along with a corresponding music video featuring the full cast. This was followed by the release of a second single, "On The Edge," on April 3.

Concord Music Publishing represents Gasparini's song catalog. Theatres interested in licensing the show for performance should visit concordtheatricals.com.
