Jason Donovan Plans Musical Comeback

by lkatulka on September 3rd, 2008

It’s one of the most unlikely comebacks in the business. Jason Donovan is recording a new album.

The former Neighbours heart-throb hasn’t had a hit in 15 years, and those tracks were pretty pathetic. But he’s not going to let that stop him. At least this time around Jason’s going to have some good songs! His album Let it Be Me features a mix of covers and originals inspired by the music of the 50s and 60s.

“Well, I’ve finished the vocals and it sounds pretty good,” he said yesterday. “But I haven’t finished the whole production side of it. I think you’ll like it.

“There’s a good selection of songs on there. It’s sort of difficult doing a cover-based album, but there’s three new songs on there.”

But that’s not all. Jason’s also planning a tour to support the release. God help us all.

Let it Be Me is scheduled for release on November 10.
