Sawyer Fredericks fans eagerly awaiting the debut album from the teen sensation need to check this out in the meantime.

The 16-year-old from Fultonville, N.Y., has a new song out.

It’s called “Forever Wrong” and it hit iTunes about a week ago.

And in typical Sawyer Fredericks’ fashion it quickly climbed to number three on the iTunes’ soundtrack singles chart.

The song is from the soundtrack that will accompany Mitch Albom’s latest novel, “The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto.”

That novel comes out Nov. 10. The full soundtrack won’t be released until Nov. 20. But two songs, including the one by Sawyer, are available now.

In a podcast with Brad Cooney, Sawyer said Mitch Albom flew to L.A. to meet with him. They decided Sawyer would write a song for the soundtrack.

“But then my mom showed him ‘Forever Wrong’ and he absolutely love it, so we went with that,” Sawyer recalled.

The debut album?

There’s no release date yet. But in the podcast, Sawyer says his team would like to have it in stores for the holidays.

was just 15 when he won The Voice last spring. That made him the show’s youngest winner.

On his way to The Voice crown, he cracked the Top 10 on the iTunes’ singles chart with nine straight solo performances, including his debut single, “Please.” The song was written especially for him by one of his idols, Ray LaMontagne.

To keep track of Sawyer, you can follow him on Twitter or his Facebook page, where he’s promising to soon post more info about his upcoming album.
