Blake Lewis, the runner-up from the sixth series of 'American Idol', has signed a deal for his debut album.
Billboard reports that Lewis has agreed a contract with 19 Recordings/Arista.
The album, provisionally titled 'Audio Daydream (ADD)', is due for release late in 2007.
Speaking to Billboard earlier this month about the 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."
