The debut single from Fox's "American Juniors" will be released Tuesday (Aug. 12) via Jive Records. The commercial release will feature the reality series/talent show's 10 finalists singing the Cathy Dennis-written song "One Step Closer." Also included will be two mixes of the American Juniors performing a cover of Kim Wilde's 1982 hit "Kids in America."
Spotlighting singers and dancers aged 6-13, "American Juniors" is modeled after Fox's successful "American Idol" franchise, created by Simon Fuller and produced by his 19 Entertainment. The group of finalists consists of Morgan Burke, Lucy Hale, Chantel Kohl, Chauncey Matthews, Jordan McCoy, A.J. Melendez, Katelyn Tarver, Taylor Thompson, Tori Thompson and Danielle White.
"The talent on this show is inspiring for such young performers. As soon as we saw this show we knew we had to be involved," said Jive president Barry Weiss says in a statement. "Simon Fuller and his team at 19 Recording Ltd, coupled with our expertise in this area should lead to great results."
Jive will follow the single with the Sept. 9 release of "Kids in America," a 10-track album featuring the "Juniors" finalists.
