FORMER Pop Idol finalist Zoe Birkett plans to release a record featuring her own self-penned material before the end of the year.
In January the Darlington singer reached number 12 with her debut single Treat Me Like a Lady ,but a follow-up single failed to materialise.
She has now revealed that she has been writing her own material which should be released in the next few months.
In an interview to promote Pop Idol: The Official Video Game, which is released in November, she said this time she had been writing her own songs.
"I've been writing my own material which I'm really, really excited about which will be out towards the end of the year.
"It's very different; that nobody would expect me to do so I'm really looking forward to its release."
Zoe, who rose to fame in 2001 after reaching the final four in the ITV show Pop Idol, said she was impressed with the second series.
