The 'Britain's Got Talent' winner will reportedly put pen to paper on a contract worth a five-figure sum in a joint venture with Decca and Simon Cowell's Syco.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Colin' is over the moon. Decca and Syco have never done a deal like this before and the goodwill towards Colin is clear to see.
"They think he can have a real impact on the charts, just like the D-Day Darlings did before."
The 89-year-old Chelsea Pensioner - who is the oldest artist to sign a record deal - is expected to release his album to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two in September.
Colin previously joked he's been enjoying more attention from the ladies since winning 'BGT'.
He said: "I don't think I'm a heart-throb but I'm getting a lot of attention from the ladies. I'm not complaining mind you!
"As a Chelsea Pensioner you get used to having your picture taken.
"Every time we go out in our scarlet coats we get recognised.
"It's just that now people want their picture taken with me for a different reason."
He joked: "But if I get drunk and fall out of a nightclub I'll make sure no one sees me."
The champion also humbly declared he would spend his winnings on his family and then make a donation to the new activity centre in the hospital.
She said: "I will treat my family to a nice holiday or get something nice for them. And I want to make a donation to the new activity centre in the hospital.
"I want to put some cash into that because it would benefit so many people."
