In its first season, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" has tastefully smashed network and cable ratings records and captured the hearts of millions of dedicated viewers. The runaway hit starring "The Fab 5" - Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Felicia, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez is a showcase for the hottest styles and trends in fashion, home design, grooming, food and wine, and culture.

"The Queer Eye soundtrack represents the next step in the phenomenon that is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and the evolution for Scout Productions from Television, Film and New Media, into Music with industry leaders Capitol Records and NBC," said Rob Eric, one of the albums Executive Producers and Executive Director of Creative Services, Scout Production.
