Jason Castro was the cute hippie with killer chops, a cool vibe, and terrible hair on last season’s American Idol. Now he has scored a record deal with a HUGE label, Atlantic Records, and will be collaborating with none other than new judge and amazing songwriter, Kara DioGuardi!

Jason is already hard at work on his debut album, which should be out in stores by this summer.  In case you’re wondering, there will be a version of Hallelujah on the album, which Simon dubbed “brilliant.”   The brilliant song will also be featured on the upcoming movie “Amar A Morir,” also to be released this summer.

Good for you, Jason! We wish you the best of luck. I’ll definitely be buying the album when it hits the shelves in a few months.
