So what will her music sound like?

Though her fans already know she can sing, (she won the reality singing competition American Juniors in 2003), Lucy teases that her sound will still be a bit of a surprise.

"It's going to be diff from anything you've ever heard from the label and not what you'd expect from me. Thanks for the support!," she tweeted.
