The time is finally here for the winner of Idol 2006 to show off his musical talents with his debut album ”Coming Home” which is being release October 23rd.

Aleksander With won with 55 % of the votes in this years Idol final. This was more a sign that this 19 year old Trondheim’s boy has a voice that is to be noticed. His first single “A Little Too Perfect” has sold double platinum. Now is the time for Aleksander to present his own music.

”The Other Side” is the first single from his debut album. Adressaavisen has quoted “his vocals are truly amazing!” VG has also stated that “the chorus comes is absolutely fantastic and that Aleksander is off to a great career start.”

Aleksander’s career has just started. In the aftermath of Idol, he went straight into the studio with his own music. The title “Coming Home” comes from his belief that he has finally come home to where he belongs and that is with his music.

Music is not anything new for the boy from Trondheim, Norway. He used to sing in a choir, played guitar, drums and piano since he was a child. He has played in several bands, taken piano lessons and studied music at Heimdal Vidregående School earlier this year. –

“I have truly enjoyed working with my own music.” He has also had the opportunity to work with several talented musicians, producers etc.

Aleksander has been a big part in every part of the album – lyrics, music, piano, organ and rhodes. “Coming Home” is produced by Geit Luedy (KarinPark, Jan Eggum), Hans Petter Aaserud (Robert Post, Heine Totland), Erlend Fauske and Eivind Buene and recorded live in the studio. The album was mastered by Geoff Pesche (Kylie Minogue, Coldplay, Spice Girls, William Orbit) in the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.

The result is an elegant rock pop album that varies from slow romantic songs to rock. Aleksander shows strong and great voice along with his personal lyrics. “My lyrics are about all the different things I have experienced in the 19 years of my life which others can also relate to. I am just being true to who I am.”

Many will be surprised over the music that he will present.

-Most people who know who Aleksander With is from watching Idol will see a different side to him than they saw on TV. This is a true pop album but maybe not what people will expect from the 19 year old Idol winner.
