Written by Mari Monday, June 06, 2011 01:12 PM

Singer AJ Rafael, who has reached over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube will finally release his full length album "Red Roses" on June 7, 2011. That's tomorrow! He will also be having an album release party tomorrow in San Diego, California.

"Red Roses" will be released online on iTunes and on Amazon. You can also get the physical album at his CD release party tomorrow or in stores like Target and Best Buy.

We got a first look at the album and it looks and sounds amazing. The photos and album cover were taken by photographer Felisha Tolentino and it looks great. The art direction was by AJ himself and it turned out perfect for his album. You can check out the album cover making HERE. This was produced, mixed, engineered and mastered by close friend to AJ Rafael, Jesse Barrera. Track 6 on the album was mixed and engineered by Andrew Maltese at Speakeasy Sound. Executive producer is 37 entertainment and the man himself, AJ Rafael.

This album was recorded with his band members, Andrew Rhim, Noah Bartfield and Danny Morledge. Other artists who contributed to the album are Melissa Polinar, Jesse Barrera, Tori Kelly, TJ Brown, Nessa Rica, and Andrew De Torres.

The physical album includes the thank you's, all the album information and of course it has all the lyrics of each song on the album. The whole band is seen with their photos on the album as well as some making/recording photos.

The 11 songs on "Red Roses" are:

1. Here, Tonight (intro)
2. Emma Watson
3. Red Roses
4. We Could Happen (already released MV)
5. Without You
6. Mess We've Made (Live) ft. Tori Kelly
7. Five-Hundred Days
8. She Was Mine ft. Jesse Barrera
9. When We Say (Acoustic) ft. Andrew De Torres of The Scene Aesthetic
10. Starlit Nights
11. Here All Alone Pt. 3

The album is really great to listen too in the car, just chilling at home, when your working or even on your iPod.

Congratulations to AJ Rafael on releasing your first full length album release "Red Roses".

You can still pre-order the album today on iTunes and buy it tomorrow at the album release party, or in stores or you can still purchase it on iTunes tomorrow.

Be sure to leave reviews of the album on iTunes once you buy it and rate it. Go great your tickets for the album release party, there is limited space, so it's best to buy it now.

I rate this album a 10/10!
