Brooke White's high hopes

MySpace blogs really can clear things up! Brooke White, "American Idol" Season 7 finalist, set the record straight yesterday. She's making a record, but not on the label it was announced she was with because of a mix-up based on an Entertainment Weekly "Where Are They Now?" piece.

White explains:

I guess there was a little mix up, because I actually signed a management deal with SANCTUARY ARTIST MANAGEMENT... NOT Sanctuary Records. No biggie... just a  lil' miscommunication.

Then she goes on to tell us what we really want to know:

Everyone has been inquiring as to when to expect this album, and while I have been giving a ballpark estimation of late spring -early summer, I have set a real date. So here it is, You can expect to find "High Hopes and Heart break" on June 2, 2009, which also happens to be a "New Music Tuesday" as well as my actual birthday! I know that might seem far away... but ya know what, quality takes a little bit of time, and truth is time is flying by at warp speed and June will be here before we know it!

There appears to be more high hopes than heart break in the married valley girl's life, but a little heart break can definitely create some great songs, such as Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" and Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield," both of which she performed on "Idol" .... We'll look forward to hearing White's own music this summer.
