'American Idol' Alum Lauren Alaina to Release 'Road Less Traveled' Album in January

American Idol Season 10 alum Lauren Alaina is set to release her sophomore album, Road Less Traveled, on Jan. 27.

The record -- which will be distributed by Mercury Nashville / 19 / Interscope Records -- is the long awaited follow-up to her 2011 debut album, Wildflower. Alaina co-wrote all 12 songs on the new LP, including her current country airplay Top 20 single and title track, “Road Less Traveled," which she penned with Jesse Frasure hitmaker Meghan Trainor.

Produced by busbee (Lady Antebellum, Maren Morris, Keith Urban), the record explores acceptance of oneself, with positive lyrics that declare "dress sizes can't define/ don't let the world decide what's beautiful." The set also includes the single, "Next Boyfriend."

“I am so excited to get this album out,” Alaina said in a release. “I wrote for it for three and a half years. I’ve grown so much as a person, a songwriter and an artist in that time. These songs are a true representation of who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going."

The Idol star is also set to star in the film, Road Less Traveled, which was shot in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Alaina will hit the road for a tour kicking off February 2. Before that, she has shows coming up at Wild West Cedar Park in Texas and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Dec. 13. Full dates and ticket information are available on her website.
