American Idol alum, Katherine McPhee has chopped her long brunette locks and dyed it blonde to promote her latest album “Unbroken,” which hits stores October 6th.

The 25 year old reveals that her new hairdo matches the type of music on her new album, “My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous.”

“I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change,” Katharine said. “I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look.”

Well Katherine we love it. You look amazing!
