Season nine American Idol winner, the self-taught singer, songwriter and guitarist, Lee DeWyze announced the Live It Up track listing. The record lands in record selling establishments on November 16, the same day as news albums from Rihanna, Josh Groban and others.
DeWyze co-wrote many of the tracks on the album, putting his creative stamp on the disc, instead of just singing songs that were written for and handed to him.
"To see my name listed in the credits on each song was really important to me because I'm a songwriter," DeWyze said. "I also loved working with such talented writers. They all brought so much to the table and helped me flesh out my sound… I want people to relate to these songs," DeWyze explained. "I love stories in songs and always try to write from an honest place. It's about capturing emotion, so that when you listen, it takes you back to that place. My best memories are all connected to music and I want to create those moments for other people."
