Don’t miss this lengthy, but interesting interview with Season 7 Idol Brooke White from Lindsey Parker of Yahoo Music.

Brooke chats about her time on Idol, how her season may have influenced Season 8 and why she decided to go indie with her first post-Idol album, High Hopes & Heartbreak, rather than signing with a label. Also, how her chance meeting with judge Randy Jackson turned into a partnership…

Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.

After the jump, via MTV, it’s 5 things about Brooke White, plus, the sepia-toned video for her nostalgia-tinged single, “Radio Radio.”
