'American Idol' winner Jordin Sparks and last season's runner-up Blake Lewis are working on their debut albums.
Billboard reports that both singers have been using their days off from the 'American Idols Live!' tour to record songs.
They hope to have the albums in the shops in time for Thanksgiving in the US in November.
Sparks' album is as-yet-untitled; Lewis has called his 'Audio Daydream (ADD)'.
Sparks said of her album: "I'm trying to mix everything together. I'm loving all the songs I'm recording, so hopefully that will come off the album when you listen to it and you'll be able to feel the emotion."
Commenting on his album, Lewis said: "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."
