American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has inked a recording contract with RCA Recordings and will be working on a debut album – set for release this fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” the 27-year-old glam rocker said in a statement Tuesday. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!!!”

Adam will record his album while on the road for this summer’s Idols Live Tour with the rest of this season’s Top 10 contestants.

“There are no longer any rules in terms of where the world’s next superstars may come from,” Barry Weiss, chairman of the RCA/JIVE label, remarked on the new signing. “We are thrilled to be getting involved with Adam Lambert as we all at RCA Records believe he is one of those rare, future global stars.”
