Announcement, publicity, and release

It was hinted through a post by the official Rockapella Facebook page made on May 31, 2012 that a new album would be released in the fall to go along with the new show the group planned to start in September 2012 entitled "Motown & More".[2][3] The album was not released, however, and news was scarce until February 28, 2013 when the track list and estimated released date of March 11–15 was posted by the group's Facebook page.[4] On March 10, a track preview video was uploaded to Rockapella's official YouTube channel, and the album was released on iTunes five days later on March 15, with physical CDs to follow.[5][6]
