Staind singer rethinking approach to solo album
The Pulse of Radio reports that Staind singer Aaron Lewis has been planning and working on his first solo album for several years, but now he says he's rethinking how he's going to go about releasing it. Lewis told The Pulse of Radio that the idea of putting out a full-length album in the current music industry is less appealing to him at this point. "When you look at the market, it really doesn't make very much sense to continue trying to put together a CD's worth of material, when people are gonna pick and choose through it anyways," he said. "So there's gonna be two or three new songs that will be released virally, that will also probably find themselves on the tail end of a live CD as well."Lewis said he was heading to Los Angeles next week to meet with a producer - whose name he wouldn't reveal - about recording his new studio tracks.
The vocalist did not give a release date for the live CD, which is being recorded on his current solo acoustic tour.
Lewis added that he would probably release a full solo CD after Staind records its next album, which will be its last for Atlantic Records.
Lewis continues his solo tour on Thursday night (February 25) at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.
