Motown & More is the eighteenth overall and thirteenth North American album released by the a cappella group Rockapella. Just like the live show it accompanies, the album consists of covers of classic Motown covers.

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]
