SINGING starlet Zoe Birkett is releasing her first album - alongside the other Pop Idol finalists.

The Pop Idol Big Band album is released on Monday and is predicted to go straight to number one. Although all ten finalists from the TV show feature on the album, Zoe is the only one to appear three times.

She can be heard performing Get Happy, made famous by Judy Garland, and Cole Porter's I've Got You Under My Skin. She also sings Oh Look At Me Now with fellow finalist and chart topper Gareth Gates.

Zoe said: "Six months ago, it was my dream to make an album. I never thought that it would actually come true. To be singing some of the greatest, old-style tracks that I was brought up listening to makes this a doubly special occasion."
