Aaron Sledge EMI Gospel Debut Available Oct. 20

From a press release:

October 12, 2009 – Chicago native Aaron Sledge, called the “Hottest Urban Inspirational Artist,” will release his self-titled album, Aaron Sledge, on October 20, 2009.

This will be Sledge’s second release, but first on an international record label. Aaron Sledge signed with EMI Gospel in early 2009.

The first release, Da Light, was an international hit, creating fans in Japan, Canada and Europe. It drew international acclaim from music journalists, bloggers, musicians and industry insiders. In fact, it caught the attention of EMI executives, who were excited to meet with Sledge and offer him the exclusive deal.

The album, Aaron Sledge, contains the top five songs from Da Light and a new, EMI exclusive track entitled “Extra Mile.”
