Lauren Alaina's debut album, Wildflower, is scheduled to come out Oct. 11, one week after Scotty McCreery's Clear As Day.
"I have always dreamed of making an album, and I can't believe it's actually happening," the 16-year-old American Idol runner-up said in a press release about the album. "I feel like it has a flavor for everybody. It's a mixture of all different songs, so I hope it will appeal to all different kinds of people. There are fast songs for people who like up-tempos that you can dance to, and there are also tearjerkers for people who like slower ballads. I tried to get songs that are all a little different so that we could bring a fresh feel to each and every song."
The album takes its title from the track She's a Wildflower, written by Hillary Lindsey, Steven McEwan and Gordie Sampson. "Wildflower is the perfect name for my first album," she says. "I would consider myself a wildflower because wildflowers are sweet, but then they have a little bit of spunk to them. ... "I like to have a lot of fun and I'm really sassy, so I feel like a wildflower would be a good description of who I am as a person."
Lauren has been working in the studio with Byron Gallimore, who has produced the likes of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Lee Ann Womack.
