Blake Lewis

"Heartbreak on Vinyl" (Tommy Boy)

Sixth-season "American Idol" contestant Blake Lewis, who finished second to Jordin Sparks, follows his moderately successful 2007 release, "Audio Day Dream," with a "Heartbreak on Vinyl" that zeroes in on what "Audio" did best - electronic dance music.

Lewis seems quite comfortable in his genre of choice, and he finds a way to poke through the heavy machinery with stylish singing. He's no Justin Timberlake, but he's working on it.

"Heartbreak on Vinyl" features a scattering of formulaic filler tracks, but they are fewer in number than those on "Audio Day Dream" and they aren't as anonymous.

Lewis is showing improvement and may yet become a genuine idol.
