Adam Lambert And Allison Iraheta’s Albums Close To Complete

Even with the American Idol Tour in full force, the race is on for the signed finalist to complete and release their debut albums.

Adam Lambert told Billboard.com that he is about half way done recording his album. “We recorded a bunch of stuff before the tour started, and I wrote a handful of stuff,” he reported. “We have three or four weeks after the tour ends that I have to record like crazy, but we have a lot of material to do that with.”

On his album –

“[It] has elements of rock, of course, but it has a lot of pop sensibilities to it. It’s really current, really fresh and yet still melodically and vocally it’s nodding to the ’70s and ’80s classics. I know I got most of my credibility on ‘Idol’ doing those songs from those eras, and it wouldn’t make sense for me to do an album that runs away from it.”

Allison Iraheta has been busy writing with Kevin Rudolf and David Hodges for her debut album.

On her album –

“[It will] definitely have that rock sound to it. It’ll be fun, and there’s gonna be some deep stuff, too — like, lyrics about what can possibly be happening to other people in the world right now that I’ve gone through myself, but also melodically, just some good, slow rock ballads.”
