Season 8s Top 6 finalist, Anoop Desai, released his debut album today. Named All Is Fair, the EP includes his first single, My Name. The album is already climbing the iTunes Pop Charts, even in its first day of release!
After touring the nation with the American Idols LIVE! 2009 tour, Anoop moved to Los Angeles to begin working on All Is Fair. The soulful singer mixed pop, R&B, and Indian influences to create his own sound. Since Anoop put out the album without the support of a major record label, he had complete control over All Is Fair, whether it was writing or release plans. Anoop teamed up with Season 6 finalist Brandon Rogers, who co-wrote three songs on the 8-song EP. Another Season 6 finalist, Chris Richardson, co-wrote a different song on the disc. In the future, Anoop has plans to work with Season 5s Elliott Yamin and Season 6 semi-finalist Jared Cotter.
To celebrate the big accomplishment, Anoop was at the All Is Fair release party at East End Martini Bar in Chapel Hill, NC and today hell perform at his alma matter, University of North Carolina.
