Syco have signed Proper Popstar Tamera Foster

Tamera Foster

Proper Popstar Tamera Foster has signed to Syco and suddenly it feels like everything is going to be alright.

PPTF, you will recall, was the only finalist worth giving two fucks about during the 2013 run of The X Factor.

Here is a quote from a press release that was sent out at about 4am, such is the urgency of this pop news: "I am so excited about being given this oppor­tun­ity. I'm having an amazing time on tour but even more now, because I know straight after I can get into the studio and start to work on some new music for everyone who supports me! I'm very very lucky to have this chance as my first ever job and I've got so much to look forward to this year, exciting times ahead!"

Not exactly a press release quote for the ages but let's see what your friend and ours Sonny Takhar, Syco Music Managing Director, has to say about the whole thing. “We are thrilled that Tamera has chosen Syco Music as her label home, she is a bonafide star!"

BONAFIDE.

In other overnight X Factor news, Christopher Maloney has announced the release of his second single.
