Amazon have listed Cher Lloyd’s album as available to pre-order ahead of its expected release date of August 22nd.

Cher has of course been in America working on the album which has been produced by Ronald “Jukebox” Jackson who created Willow Smith’s hit track Whip My Hair.

He’s also worked with John Legend, Janet Jackson and Red One, as well as stars such as Lady GaGa and Nicole Scherzinger.

Cher’s debut album is being released on Simon Cowell’s record label SyCo, but somewhat surprisingly, its August release date is two months ahead of the date given for X Factor 2010 winner Matt Cardle’s first album release…

In the meantime though, Cher and the other finalists are preparing for the X Factor tour which kicks off on February 19 at Birmingham’s LG Arena, and ends in Cardiff’s CIA on April 10th.
