Lee DeWyze has announced his 3rd studio album, Oil & Water, set to be released on February 12, 2016.
The American Idol season 9 winner’s 2010 post-Idol debut, Live it Up, was released via RCA/19R. The Vanguard label released his 2013 album, Frames. This time around, Lee is releasing his record through a deal with Sanchie Entertaiment, utilizing the crowdfunding site, Pledgemusic, where pre-orders are available now.

Hey Guys!,
I have spent the last year and a half writing, recording, and producing my new record “Oil & Water”. It’s been an amazing experience as I have been through so much this past year and much of that is reflected on my new album.
I want to thank you for your love, support and patience. This record means the world to me, and I’m so excited to finally be able to share “Oil & Water” with all of you!
I’ve teamed up with PledgeMusic to offer you exclusive items and access to behind the scenes content, only available here. Prior to the album release in 2016, there will be some new additions to the store so be sure to keep an eye out!!!
Thank you all again, this is going to be a lot of fun! Here’s to 2016!
Love you guys!!
Cheers, Lee DeWyze
