13 year old Carly Rose Sonenclar blew everybody away last season on The X-Factor, where she finished second to country singer Tate Stevens, when she consistently put on A+ performances and stayed at or near the top of the voting chart. Now Carly is working her debut album and dealing with her new fame from the show. She talked about it all in a new interview with Teen Vogue.
"I’ve been in the studio! And I’ll be doing concerts soon, which I’m really excited about," Carly said about what she's currently doing. "I’m in pre-production of my album, so right now I’m writing in-between putting my show together. I’m also doing some covers which are going on YouTube. So, yes—very busy!"
But what can of sound can we expect to hear from Carly when she releases her debut album? Oh just the sounds of some of the best in the biz put together!

"Well, it’s in the early, early, early stages so I’m not 100% sure what my sound will be exactly," Carly said. "But my five inspirations are Bruno Mars, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Maroon 5, and Ed Sheeran. So, if you put them all together that will give you a hint."
And now with season 3 X-Factor auditions happening, what advice does Carly have for the hopefuls? She says you just gotta be different.
"Doing anything you possibly can to differentiate yourself is going to be really helpful," she said. "When I auditioned, I think people were expecting me to do a Top 40 song, but instead I did “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, which was very unexpected."
"It really helped them remember me, and kept me from being put in a category that I didn’t want to be in."
Are you excited for Carly's upcoming debut album?
