Phil Stacey signs with Reunion

After parting ways with previous record label Lyric Street last November, Phil Stacey has announced via his official music MySpace blog that he has signed with Christian label Reunion Records, a sub-label of the Sony BMG umbrella. Per his blog entry, Phil said:

I am working on the record with producer Brown Bannister. He is amazing at what he does and we have some phenomenal material to work with.

Phil also stated he is hoping for a summer release but there is nothing set in stone.

Phil's debut album sold roughly 36k copies before he left his former label. This is the second Idol re-signing in three days, coming on the heels of news that Katharine McPhee has signed with Verve Forecast.

Phil Stacey leaves Lyric Street

Phil Stacey is the latest casualty of selling few copies of his debut album and joins a long list of Idol alums that have been either dropped or terminated their contracts due to low sales.

Billboard.biz reported that Phil and his label, Lyric Street Records, have parted ways. One can only imagine it is the result of Phil's debut album's sales, which have topped off at 36k copies since its April 29 release. Hopefully he can find a nice home at an indie label, or maybe he can become a songwriter.

Regardless of the drop, Phil is still scheduled to be serving as the grand marshal of the 2008 Nashville Christmas Parade. It will kick off at the corner of 6th and Broadway and will end at JP Field. The parade will be held on Fri., Dec. 5 at 7 p.m.
