Me too. Now they've got the debut singles and made their first official marks in the music world, let's hope they can be allowed to get on with the serious business of making something to be proud of. Has anyone else heard it, but I was told Will's album won't be out until the Autumn so they can focus on getting the right material. This is good news, because even if Will and his top-notch team of songwriters and producers can do it in time for the Summer, cynics will assume fast work is shoddy work, so there's no need to give them excuses to criticise. However, the (not that reliable) press give the impression he's really busy recording it between shows and promotional work. We know Will's a fast worker, but Bacharach might not be able to work as fast as he used to. How old do you think he is now?
If it's definite he's releasing Light My Fire they might just be interested in getting a few tracks together as potential B-sides. I'm assuming they'll be avoiding another Double-A for a bit.
It sounds like Gareth's been doing loads too, working mainly with Cathy Dennis. She was quoted as saying he's really keen. She plays him the song and he rushes off to get the hang of it on the piano. I imagine him bounding around like an enthusiastic puppy to match his puppy-dog eyes.
