American Idol Fan

Taylor Hicks, the Season 5 American Idol winner, has announced that he will release his new album in February 2009. 

The new album for Hicks will be released under his own label, Modern Whomp Records.  The album is being produced by Simon Climie, who is known for his work with stars such as Eric Clapton, Faith Hill and Carlos Santana.  The album will be distributed by independent music distributor, Artist to Artist.  Hicks had this to say about his new album:

In this digital age, when artists can connect more directly with audiences, this is a partnership that makes a lot of sense. I’m very much enjoying being in the studio with Simon working on the new album and look forward to releasing it through A2M early next year.
