‘American Idol’ Winner Lee DeWyze on Recording His Album, Twitter and Meeting Kris Allen
Will you be writing and recording your album during the tour?
Yeah. I’m gonna be doing that … It’s gonna be quick. I’m going to be going, and touring and recording the album, and by the time we’re done with tour, it’ll be close to being done. I have personally done writing for it. In the next couple of days, it’ll be my first time in the actual studio with the people I’m going to be working with. It’s really cool.
Any idea what the album’s going to sound like when it’s done?
It’s definitely going to have a rock feel to it. Some songs are going to be heavier than others, some songs will be broken down and slow. It’ll be cool. It’s gonna be very “me.” [Laughs]
Is it similar to your pre-‘Idol’ albums?
I mean, I don’t know. It’s probably going to be a little bigger, a little different. We’ll see.
What made you choose ‘Beautiful Day’ as your first single?
It just was the right song for the time, I guess you could say.
Are you going to be performing it on tour?
I don’t know yet. Since the show’s been over, I have come up with an acoustic version of it, a kind of more acoustic-rock version of it, I guess you could say. So if I was [to sing it], it’d be something like that.
