STEP UP is the soundtrack to the film of the same name which was a hit in America, opening at number two at the US box office.

The film tells the story of Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum), a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore's tracks and Nora (Jenna Dewan), a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts.

When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora's attention. An uplifting film, 'Step Up' also stars R&B superstar, Mario, as well as rap legend Heavy D.

The soundtrack has an appropriately urban feel that showcases some of the genres hottest talents.

The first single off of the album, "Get Up", is a new track by multi-platinum artist Ciara and features Houston rapper Chamillionaire. Other new tracks written for the film include Petey Pablo's "Show Me The Money", Anthony Hamilton's "Dear Life", Kelis' "80's Joint", Youngbloodz's "Imma Shine", and newcomer Samantha Jade's "Step Up" produced by Wyclef Jean.

Other tracks come from Sean Paul - "(When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me" - and Chris Brown ("Say Goodbye").
