READIES NEW ALBUM FOR SUMMER RELEASE

NEW YORK, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- 19 Recordings/Jive Records artist Jordin Sparks is confirmed to release her as-yet-untitled sophomore effort this summer. The 2007 American Idol winner will premiere her new song from the album, "Battlefield" on American Idol on May 13th. "Battlefield" is co-written and co-produced by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, Sam Watters, Louis Biancaniello & Wayne Wilkins for The Runaways (Keri Hilson, Natasha Bedingfield). Fans will be able to purchase the song exclusively on iTunes beginning today and via all other outlets May 19th.

Post-Idol, Jordin's star has continued to rise; she's received rave album and concert reviews and has established herself in her own right.

Jordin Sparks along with Honor Society are confirmed special guests on the North American leg of the 52-date "The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009" which kicks off in Dallas on June 20th.
