Kimberley Locke Releases New Single; Launching Online Cooking Series

Facebook.com/KimberlyLockeKimberley Locke's been out of the spotlight musically for a while, but she returns this week with a new single, "Finally Free," which is now available.  The song's video will debut on Entertainment Tonight in the coming weeks, and a download package with 11 remixes will be available September 4.

"Finally Free" is coming out on Kim's own label, I AM Entertainment Records.  An album is expected to follow next year.  Since her stint on American Idol, the season two finalist has scored many hits on both the dance and the adult contemporary charts, including three Christmas #1 hits on the latter.

In addition, Kimberley plans to launch her own online cooking series, which will be hosted on her soon-to-be-revamped website KimberleyLockeOfficial.com.  Called Cooking with Kimberley, the series will show how you can create your favorite dishes with a healthy twist.  Since she lost 40 pounds on Celebrity Fit Club and with Jenny Craig, Kim's kept the weight off and wants to share her secrets.
