Keeping up with LaKisha Jones

LaKisha Jones, the soulful fourth-place finalist from Season 6, was overshadowed by some of her peers on the show. But she has been able to catapult herself into a multitude of areas of the entertainment industry following her stint on Idol.

LaKisha wrapped up a six-week run on Broadway on Feb. 24, as The Color Purple unexpectedly closed, unable to boost ticket sales following the departure of Fantasia from the show.

Despite the disappointing news, LaKisha is not just sitting on her hands, and has instead shifted her focus to completing her debut album. It will be released to digital retailers like iTunes in August and in stores later in the fall. Her first single, "Same Song," is written by Diane Warren and will be released in the near future according to her record label's Web site.

There is currently a clip of a song that will be featured on her album, "So Glad I'm Me," up on the site.
