New Guy Sebastian Album in the Works

by lkatulka on April 21st, 2008

Guy Sebastian’s Memphis Album was such a success, he’s decided to head back to the States to prepare for a follow-up.Guy Sebastian

But don’t expect another album of soul covers. While it’d undoubtedly sell well, Guy’s busy collaborating with the likes of David Ryan Harris on some original songs. A star in his own right, Aussie music lovers might recognise David as part of John Mayer’s current band.

Stax legend Steve Cropper must have enjoyed Guy’s company last time around, because he’s also working on this new release.

“We are meant to be writing but we are mainly just jamming and hanging out,” Guy said on his website.

Great things come out of jam sessions, so who knows what this meeting of creative minds will produce.

Guy fans won’t hear this new release for a while, so thankfully there’s a DVD in the works to tide fans over. Sony BMG plan to release a live DVD featuring one of Guy’s Memphis Album performances at Melbourne’s Crown Casino. It will be in stores on May 3.

    Hmm. He doesn’t say he’s recording it in the States. He might, but it doesn’t say that. He’s certainly not recording it yet. He’ll be back here before Friday.

    I’d love to hear some new material featuring the MGs.

    DRH was also out here writing with Guy a bit before the Memphis Tour.

    Point taken Nessa. I’ve edited the article to make it a little more accurate.

    No problem - I like your blog. I enjoy seeing Guy reported on without his name being followed by words like ‘karaoke king’ or ‘Idol virgin’, which happens so much in Australia.

    I read a piece on a DRH Los Angeles gig a few days ago, in which Guy was mentioned as being in the audience. Just his name, no explanation of who he was. It was as if the writer expected everyone to know. Respect.

    Thanks Nessa :-) It’s always nice to hear the positive feedback.

    I think the writers who use those kind of tags are just a bit lazy. After all, how can you call Guy a karaoke king when he’s been writing his own songs since before Idol, and when he plays his own instruments?
