Songs from Instant Star Three is the soundtrack for the third season of Instant Star. In-show, Alexz Johnson appears on 10 tracks, but her contract with Capitol Records produced legal issues that prevented Johnson of being featured in more than four songs in the album. She was replaced by other artists, including other performers, writers and producers. Tyler Kyte's character, Vincent Spiederman, records a solo single (thus far in the series), and Cory Lee's character, Karma, also has a musical career in which she will be recording with limited relevance to the show/soundtrack.[1]

Releases

In Canada, the album was officially released July 3, 2007. There was a physical copy available for purchase in stores. In the USA, the album was officially released March 11, 2008. You can purchase the album through iTunes, FYE music stores or Amazon.com.
