Carl Riseley’s the latest graduate of the Australian Idol class of 2007 to make good. The swing king has quit the navy and signed a major record deal with Universal.

Carl’s debut album Your Imagination is due out in the next few months. It features cover versions of some of Carl’s favourite songs, including “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “The Letter.” The swinging version of “Waltzing Matilda” Carl performed on Australian Idol also appears on the CD.

“It’s a swing album with big band and strings, so it’s very classy,”Carl told The Sunday Telegraph. Sounds like it’ll be right up the alley of those fans that voted for Carl during the reality TV competition.

Your Imagination was produced by Australian Idol music man John Foreman, and features a special guest appearance by legendary jazz trumpeter James Morrison.
