Broadway powerhouse, ASCAP Award-winning actress/singer and Billboard chart-topping songwriter Carla Bianco is thrilled to announce the release of the title track and lead single, “You Love Me As I Am,” from her upcoming debut Contemporary Christian EP, You Love Me As I Am. The song is impacting radio and streaming services everywhere today, Friday, September 10, 2021. To stream or download “You Love Me AI Am,” click here. A lifelong Christian, Bianco, who is perhaps best known for her roles as Maureen in the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway and West Coast musical RENT, was discovered by legendary music producer and manager John “Jellybean” Benitez (Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Sting), who signed her to a management and publishing deal while she was still in college. The powerhouse pop singer quickly signed a distribution deal with Sony/RED and released two albums as a recording artist on Ivory Note Records. She went on to become an ASCAP Award-winning, Billboard No. 1 songwriter. Her new single CCM, written by Bianco and produced by Sam Hart (Aaron Shust, Tasha Layton), showcases Bianco’s crystalline vocal ensemble over a backdrop of shimmering pop instrumentation and an infectious groove that will have listeners hooked from the first note. “You Love Me As I Am” is a nuanced anthem of revelation, humility and devotion to Jesus, inspired by her own spiritual awakening following the death of her parents, when feelings of self-doubt and insecurity threatened to take over her mind and heart. The song marks a new direction and stylistic shift for the acclaimed singer/songwriter and performer. Five years ago, while struggling with her losses following the death of her parents, Bianco attended a spiritual retreat, where she says she was overwhelmed by the grace of the Savior she has called her “best friend” since childhood. She began to experience God’s unequivocal, unconditional love in a whole new way. She also felt God calling her in a new artistic direction, leading her to write songs of worship, praise, and self-reflection. “Something just slipped out,” she explains. “During this retreat, I was immersed in Scripture and felt His love and comfort comfort me and instill a new sense of identity and purpose like I’ve never felt before.” “I’m so excited to finally share this music that has been on my heart for over five years now,” Carla says. “I think it comes at a time when the world needs to know more than ever that we are loved.” » Bianco’s debut CCM EP, You Love Me As I Am, will be released digitally on October 8, 2021, followed by the physical release of the EP on October 29, 2021, via Ivory Note Records/BFD/Sony Orchard.
