Rumor that Allison Iraheta has inked a record deal with Kris Allen's label, 19 Recordings, is proven true. Her debut album is licensed to Jive Records and will be dropped sometime this fall, so the press release from the recording company confirms.
Simon Fuller, creator of "American Idol" and founder of 19 Entertainment, praises Allison who finished in the fourth place on this season's Idol as "an incredible young singer." He adds, "She is without a doubt one of the best teenage singers 'American Idol' has ever discovered. We all watched Allison grow in confidence and stature as she performed each week on the show and we can only imagine how far this special girl can continue to blossom in the years ahead."
Barry Weiss, chairman and CEO of RCA/Jive Label Group, also sees some potential in Allison. He says, "Allison was an absolute stand-out this season. Her bluesy, powerful voice, spunky attitude, and edgy star power immediately captivated us and it didn't matter where she ranked on Idol, we knew we wanted her to join our amazing crop of young talent at Jive."
19 Recordings do not only sign Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen but also recruit Adam Lambert as their recording artist. However, they said that "there's nothing to report just yet" concerning the possibility of Danny Gokey joining his Idol castmates in the label.
