The American Idol season 11 runner-up (and future guest star on Glee?) has been confirmed as signing a record deal as of today!

THR is reporting that Jessica Sanchez has just signed to Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope Records.

But will Idol fans be hearing the same kind of music that Jessica sang on the show? Apparently not. THR says:

Her album, due in October, will feature a more urban flavor devoid of the middle-of-the-road ballads the 16-year-old performed on the show.

Very exciting news for the mega talent! Are you going to buy her new album in October?
