news - Andy

 official:
Andy Bell releases a new single via Sanctuary Records on 22nd May 2006.

'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' is taken from the Erasure frontman's debut solo album 'Electric Blue', which was released in October 2005.

The single comes with a variety of new mixes from Goetz (Sugababes, Faithless), plus Jaded Alliance & Mr Do. 'Electric Blue', an album highlight, as well as the title track, has also been completely recrafted by MHC, who turn in a darker club mix destined for the world's electro dancefloors in coming months.

The package is completed with two brand new bonus tracks 'Back Into The Old Routine' and 'Jump'. (© eis) |

 rumour:
Andy did some interviews (1 2) last week. here are some highlights:

• Andy and Vince have written 16 songs for nightbird, but havent produced all of them.
• they wanted I Bet You Are Mad At Me to be the second single, but Daniel Miller prefers an uptempo-track to get more airplay. so they choose Don't Say You Love Me.
• the setlist for the erasure show will include Hideaway, No Doubt, four other Nightbird Songs, Drama, Brother And Sister, Knocking On Your Door and The Circus. the stage will be a fairy-tale-forrest.
• Andy would like to perform Rapture live and tries to persuade Vince to do the rap (but obviously he doesnt want to rap).
• Andy will probably play some live gigs of his solo album, which should be released after nightbird, but he hasnt found a label yet.
