American Idol has a new goodbye song

Last season’s contestants took their final bow on the American Idol stage as Chris Daughtry’s Home played in the background. The year before it was Daniel Powter’s Bad Day. This year, at least for the Feb. 12 and 13 episodes, singers will be leaving the stage to up-and-coming Ferras and his song Hollywood’s Not America.

Ferras’ Hollywood’s Not America will be the “goodbye” song for contestants next week on American Idol.

The song is from Ferras’ upcoming CD, Aliens and Rainbows, scheduled for release April 1 — digital release of the album is scheduled for March 11. Already, Hollywood’s Not America is available for download as a single on iTunes.

“Because this was my first record, I decided to draw on the artists who’ve inspired me — Elton John, Bowie, Queen, the Beatles — because of the huge impact they’ve had on my own music,” Ferras says on his MySpace page. “But I also wanted to make a record that’s personal and tells a story, and every song is either something I’ve experienced, something I hope to experience or something I can really connect with. These aren’t just random pop songs — they come from a real place; they explore feelings.”

After you check out Hollywood’s Not America, make sure to listen to the live recording of Take My Lips. Ferras certainly has an interesting sound, and he certainly is an artist to watch.
