American Idol Season 2 winner, Ruben Studdard has signed a new record deal with Shanachie Entertainment. His next album is set for a Fall 2011 release.
His last album, ‘Love Is, ’ was released independently in 2009 via Hickory Records.
“We believe that for all his success, Ruben Studdard is an undervalued artist, ” says Shanachie General Manager, Randall Grass. “Part of that may be due to his versatility; he has achieved in so many different areas that people just aren’t aware of the totality of his talent. We are very excited at the prospect of working with Ruben and his team to take him to the next level of success in this new phase of his career.”
The new yet-to-be titled album will feature production from Harold Lilly, (Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Luther Vandross) and Blac Elvis (Ginuwine, Beyoncé, Fergie, Ludacris).
“I’ve been waiting a really long time for my fans to finally hear the real Ruben. This will be the first time that one producer and one writer will be working on my entire album to create one sound, ” states Studdard. “I want my fans to feel like they have been taken on a musical journey by Ruben Studdard.”
Congrats Ruben! Hope your next album is a hit.
