Hi Foxy Army,
Well, so far it's been a fantastic year - the singles Call Me and Forever are still passing the test of time by being played all over the world. I really enjoyed my French tour and I've played some great live shows with my dancers and live band. About a month ago I had a well deserved rest in Greece, before going on to perform in Belarus, France (again) and Israel where I performed for the first time in Eilat. Then onto Tel Aviv for a special performance on Dancing With the Stars, which half the population watched.
Last week I had a meeting about the video for the new single The Secret, which is far better than the original with many new remixes by the likes of Hex Hector, Tomer G, Max Paul, Sleazesisters, Starlet DJs, Mark JB (Bimbo Jones), Marc Lime A K Bastion, Mark Anthony, Switchblade Sisters and the Swedish Hit Factory. I should be shooting the video in about two weeks' time. And what's the video about? It's a secret!
At this time, I'm still working on my new album with the amazing Ian Masterson producing. I'm collaborating with Steve Strange (Visage), Boy George, Ricky Wilde, and I'll soon be back in the studio with the amazing Full Force. The album's got an 80s feel but with a modern approach. The 80s are back for now and forever!
Right now, I'm so amazed at your reactions to my four deluxe edition CD reissues. You can't believe how happy I am that you love them so much. Thank you!
Next with Cherry Pop, we are gonna remaster all my videos for a DVD release, so you can see them looking gorgeous and perfect.
The rumours are true! I'm coming back to the USA and Canada. First I will be appearing at The Chiller Theater Convention in New Jersey from the 26 to the 28 October. You can get to meet me and have your merchandise signed and dedicated and have your picture taken with me. After this, the tour will kick off in NYC. Keep an eye on the gig pages for full details and date.
This week I'm doing lots of interviews to promote the reissue CDs. Listen out today - I'll be on the Robert Elms show on BBC London Radio live from the Olympic Stadium at 3:30pm and this Friday, I'm off for a gig in Switzerland.
See you soon and lots of love,
Sam.
