After inking a record deal with Columbia Records, X-Factor finalist Rachel Crow is set to release her debut self-titled EP on June 26 via all digital service providers.
The songs on the EP were produced by top music hit makers including Toby Gad (Beyoncè, Fergie) and Jonas Jeberg (The Wanted, Pussycat Dolls).The release features the powerful song, “Mean Girls,” which Rachel co-wrote along with producer Toby Gad. Written after just three days in the studio, the lyrics of “Mean Girls” speak to rising above social pressures and celebrating individuality. Crow says of the song, “I really want [“Mean Girls”] to not only inspire kids who have been bullied, but I also hope to inspire the kids that do the bullying to stop that behavior.”
In addition, Crow will be going on tour with Big Time Rush on their “Big Time Summer Tour,” performing songs from her EP. The tour kicks off July 5 in Columbus, OH and end on August 19 in Washington, D.C.
