The 27-year-old singer's debut album is expected to be released in the autumn, while he is scheduled to record the LP during the Idols Live Tour this summer.
In a statement, Lambert said: "I'm thrilled that we've come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album.
"We are 100 per cent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It's going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!"
American Idol creator Simon Fuller commented: "To find a talent as exceptional as Adam Lambert is a rare and special event...I am thrilled that American Idol was the platform for the world to discover this brilliant young man."
The press release also confirmed that Lambert would answer "all your questions" about his sexuality in this month's Rolling Stone magazine, which is released on June 12. The singer was spotted with rumoured boyfriend Drake LaBry earlier this month.
American Idol winner Kris Allen recently penned a record contract with a division of Jive Records.
