Atlantic Loves 'Daddy's Little Girls'

New York, NY. (Atlantic Records) - Atlantic Records has announced the forthcoming release of "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE: TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS," the original motion picture soundtrack to the forthcoming romantic drama slated to open in theaters nationwide on February 14, 2007. Due in stores and online on January 16th, the album features performances from a variety of R&B and gospel superstars, including Yolanda Adams, Anthony Hamilton, Brian McKnight, R.

Among the highlights of "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE: TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS" will be "Family First," the first-ever recording by the Houston Family - Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, and Cissy Houston. In addition, this collection includes an exclusive remix of Anthony Hamilton's lead track, "Struggle No More," which features contributions from Jaheim and Musiq.

A romantic drama about family, community and love against the odds, Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls stars Gabrielle Union (Running With Scissors, Bad Boys II, Deliver Us From Eva) and Idris Elba (HBO's The Wire, The Gospel, Sometimes In April) in writer/director Tyler Perry's follow-up to his number one box office hits, Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion.

A single father, Monty (Elba) is a garage mechanic who lives in a poor neighborhood and struggles to make ends meet as he raises his three young daughters on his own. But when the courts award custody of his daughters to his corrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife, Monty desperately tries to win them back, enlisting the help of Julia (Union), a beautiful - and hard-nosed - attorney he meets during his short stint as a chauffeur. While Monty and the Ivy-League-educated Julia couldn't be less alike, an unexpected romance blossoms... and it soon begins to feel like true love. But in order for their relationship to survive, the couple must reconcile their two very different worlds - and overcome the forces that threaten to tear Monty's family apart.

Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls is written and directed by Tyler Perry, and also stars Tasha Smith, Gary Sturgis, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Academy Award-winner Lou Gossett, Jr. The supporting cast includes Malinda Williams, Terri J. Vaughn, Cassie Davis, Juanita Jennings and LaVan Davis. Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls is produced by Tyler Perry and Reuben Cannon (Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea's Family Reunion).
