DEBUT: The X Factor star is to release his first album later this year with RCA [GETTY]
The pug-loving Italian flies to LA next week to start work on his debut album, which will be released later this year with RCA.

I’m told the cuddly singer with the big pipes had caused a furious bidding war between various labels within the Sony group.

The album will consist of mainly original songs penned by some of the world’s best songwriters.

According to my sources, Andrea’s Italian friends and family will also be international release.

My music mole revealed: “Andrea signed a deal with RCA after weeks of discussions with various labels within Sony.

“Label bosses are confi dent he can be an international star with the right songs and are on the lookout for some of the world’s best writers to work with him.

“There may be one or two covers but the album will be predominantly original material.

“In fact, some songs have already been submitted for him which are big, epic power ballads.”

Original bookies’ favourite Andrea, who finished third on last year’s show, Ben Haenow and runner-up Fleur East into the studio. They both signed deals with Simon Cowell’s company Syco and have already started work on their debut albums.

Stereo Kicks, Lauren Platt, Jay James, Paul Akister and Only The Young are currently all hunting for recording contracts, with label bosses waiting to see how they stand up on the current X Factor tour.

My source added: “A lot of last year’s finalists will enter talks with major labels about a deal when the tour finishes.”

My money’s on teen pin-ups Stereo Kicks to be the next to sign.

Not a fan of Andrea's new makeover, no.

:laugh2:

West End's that way Andrea

Can't wait for his album and tour! :amazed::cheer2:

wait, he is in MacDonalds, be out in 55 minutes

perched for the imminent flop

something something he'll be working there soon something something

I smell a flop

Look where Sam Bailey is now... unsigned! :laugh:

He's another Jahmene/Sam Bailey/Marcus/Nicholas flop, he'll produce an album full of covers in time for Mother's Day and then get dropped

No covers. It will be original songs. :smug: :smug:

rough copy teas?

He's off to LA next week to start working on the album. :banana:

Pleased for him. Easily the best vocalist of last series

Now i'm glad he's not with Syco. They have a habit of dropping artists for the next big thing. :dog:

Well done to him, he was technically the best vocalist of the last series.

Just need news on Lauren and OTY now and all my faves will be signed up as even Jack's got a small label I think.

Has Jack been signed?

I heard reports about him getting signed.

About time too :clap1:

Oh, good for him! I'm sure Lauren will get signed as well. Just hopefully not Syco. Sony would be perfect for her.

I always knew he would get signed. His voice is just incredible! :clap1:

I want Lauren to get Sony personally.

And with Jack I still feel that he was wasted potential in that series, why was he given to a Spice Girl?:bawling::laugh:

Luke Friend is with Sony as well. They're good. :love: But a smaller label may not advertise the albums as much.
