Step Up Soundtrack Hits Stores August 8, 2006

NEW YORK (Jive Records) - On August 8, Jive Records is set to release the soundtrack to the upcoming Touchstone Pictures/Summit Entertainment movie Step Up. The first single off of the album "Get Up," is a new track by multi-platinum artist Ciara and features Houston rapper Chamillionaire. "Get Up" impacts at rhythm radio on June 27.

Other new tracks written for the film include Petey Pablo "Show Me The Money," Anthony Hamilton "Dear Life," Kelis "80's Joint," Youngbloodz "Imma Shine," and newcomer Samantha Jade's "Step Up" produced by Wyclef Jean.

Step Up tells the story of Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore's tracks and Nora (Jenna Dewan) a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora's attention. As sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined. The film also stars R&B superstar Mario and rap legend Heavy D.
Step Up opens in theaters August 11th.
