Details on American Idol’s Anoop Desai new album
(American Idol/Fox)
Season eight “American Idol” contestant Anoop Desai’s new song titled “My Name” will be released March 23.
The song will appear on his upcoming album “All Is Fair” which will be released May 4. The album will have an Indian, R&B and pop flavor, according to a press release from his publicist.
Desai placed sixth on ”American Idol” in 2009.
During the show he sang songs from a variety of genres and musicians, including Boyz II Men, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Brown, Jimmy Ruffin, Michael Jackson, usher, Willie Nelson, Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams and Donna Summer.
In 2009, he was nominated at the Teen Choice Awards for best summer tour, along with the other “American Idol” top 10 contestants from season eight.
Nicknamed “Noop Dogg” on the show, Desai was one of my favorites to win the title. But he fell short because “American Idol” viewers/voters weren’t smart enough to keep him on the show by voting.
Desai was raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, by his Indian father and South African mother, according to a press release from his publicist.
Desai is not currently tied to a record company. His album will be released independently. Fans can keep up with Anoop on his Web site at www.anoopdesai.com

I am SO excited bout his upcoming single AND album! People will finally be able to get a feel of who he is as an artist! He has such a rich and soulful tone to his voice. He’s so talented and I wish the american idol viewers could have seen that. GOod Luck anoop!
Anoop left far to soon on Idol. I think he is an up and coming talent and at least he is being given a chance for the rest of the public to also hear his cool sounds.
I love Anoop’s voice and felt he left American Idol far too soon last year. I’m very happy that he’s releasing the single and an album. I’ve heard a few clips of some of the songs – he sounds fantastic and the music has a very interesting and cool vibe to it.
