In what can be best compared to the signing of Season 5's sixth-place finalist Kellie Pickler back in 2006, 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville yesterday announced the addition of Season 7's seventh-place finalist, Kristy Lee Cook, to the label's roster. Kristy Lee was thankful in confirming the announcement:
"I've wanted this for so many years. To have the chance to be a country singer, to make the music I love and to have enjoyed the support of so many American Idol fans this past season, it all means more than I can put into words. Thank you so much to everyone. I'll do my best to make you proud!"Kellie, who is still signed with both 19 and BNA Records, both of which are under the Sony BMG umbrella, will release her sophomore album in September. Kristy Lee's debut single, "15 Minutes of Shame," is set to debut in August, followed by a full album in the fall.
Kristy Lee joins fellow Idol alum Carrie Underwood on the Arista Nashville roster.
