American Idol Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina are hard at work on their debut albums. Check out some details about what’s happening with the recording process right now!

According to AmericanIdolNet.com, Scotty was in the studio with the band laying down backing tracks for new songs:

McCreery was in the studio Thursday with producer Mark Bright, and the assembled band laid down five backing tracks, though Scotty won’t be adding his vocals to them till later.

Of course they’re brand new songs, not the kind of familiar covers heard on the show, that he’s recording. But he wasn’t willing to reveal any song titles. “After the ‘Out of Summertime’ leak, they’re being really strict on me about that,” McCreery said.

And it looks like Lauren is being super secretive about who she is working with, but does reveal that she’ll be doing a song that didn’t make Carrie Underwood’s latest album:

Alaina wouldn’t even reveal which producer she was working with Thursday, since she expects to be collaborating with several on her album and the lineup is far from complete. But she and whoever she’s working with got four basic tracks recorded Thursday, and among the songwriters whose work she’s cutting is… Carrie Underwood.

Sounds like Lauren and Scotty are working hard. Whose album will you be picking up when it comes out this fall? Scotty’s? Lauren’s? Both?
