[New] message from shayne!!
Hey Guys! I've got the day off today so I wanted to sit down and write to you all to let you know what I've been up to, what I'm doing at the moment and what the plans are! As you know I had my debut UK arena tour at the start of the year which was an amazing time. I really enjoyed the show and had a great time on the road, thanks to all of you who came down to see the show. As soon as the tour finished I had a couple of weeks holiday before flying out to Sweden to continue recording the new album. Im now 80% finished and its sounding fantastic, I'm really excited. The first single has been chosen and will be released on 13th August (I wanted you guys to know first!). It's written by Max Martin who is a huge producer around the world...he wrote most of Kelly Clarkson's last album, the list of his hits is endless! He loves the song and is very excited which is great. I'm also working really closely with Rami, Anthor + Savan who have worked on the whole album with me. The music is different from the first album, taking a more cooler, urban/pop edge. I'm really proud of the album and hopefully you guys will love it! It's got a real mixture of uptempo's, mid tempo's and a beautiful ballad. I'm flying out to L.A. over the weekend to get ready for the videoshoot and photoshoot next week. We haven't confirmed the video treatment yet but it's nearly there...full on dance routines in this video! I've been working with Brian Friedman who is an unbelievable choreographer and he has been pushing me all the way. I'll have all the new images from the photoshoot early July so you will all get to see the new campaign! I then fly from L.A to Sweden to finish the album and will be back in the UK beginning of July to start the promotion for the new single, which im really excited about. It's going to be a busy year! As you know I spent around 6 months last year promoting the first album internationally. It was an incredible experience and as I told you I travelled all over Asia, South Africa and many places in Europe....I found out a few weeks ago that I have been Number 1 in 9 different countries over the past 18 months! I was very chuffed! I will definitely be back online to keep everybody updated with my movements and whats going on in my world! Also I wanted to let you know that im going to be looking for my very own Shayne Ward street team to start spreading the word in your areas about the new music! This will start early July but if you want to sign up now so I know who's interested, my team at SonyBMG have asked me to post up this link so you can sign up to the Street Team.
