American Idol series six runner-up Blake Lewis has signed a record deal to release his debut album.
19 Recordings/Arista have reportedly agreed a contract with the reality TV star and will be making his first LP, titled Audio Daydream (ADD).
Lewis told Billboard about the album: "It's your favourite 80s mix tape - very inspired by Michael Jackson, Prince, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, the Cure. It's all over the map, really - very influenced by 80s hip-hop, old school breaks, whatever."
ADD is due for release later this year.
