Just a little New Album
news for all the Branchaholics here! :D Michelle is still in LA putting the
tracks down for the new album, which is still untitled, so she's still looking
at a April release. Rumour has it, that her new single, which looks like it will
be "Are You Happy Now", will be released in early March. If it's not that, it
might be "Empty Handed" the song Michelle says is her favourite on the new
album. And remember what happened to her last album favourite, "All You Wanted",
Superstardom! That's just a rumour, but that's what's going around.

Michelle Branch Records With
Dave Navarro, Sheryl Crow For New Album
December 232002
While the connection with one of her collaborators on her
next album is rooted in her past, some fans may think Michelle Branch is going
out on a limb in using the other.
Former touring partner Sheryl Crow and Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro
have recorded songs with Branch that are expected to surface on her follow-up to
last year's The Spirit Room, according to a Maverick Records
spokesperson. The as-yet-untitled effort is slated for release in April.
Crow, who tracked one tune with the 19-year-old singer/guitarist, tapped Branch
to open a string of dates on her summer tour, which explains her participation.
Navarro, meanwhile, is chalking up his contribution credit to simply being in
the right place at the right time.
Branch has been working on her second album in the same Los Angeles studio where
Jane's Addiction are working on their comeback album (see
"Jane's Addiction Plan Summer Release For Hypersonic").
Carmen Electra's main squeeze has recorded a handful of tunes, Branch's
spokesperson said, though a final determination on which songs will appear on
the new album has yet to be made.
She began working on the album in October, having written six songs, including
"Standing on the Edge" (see
"Michelle Branch Going Organic, With Help From Scott
Weiland, For Next LP"). After returning from a
European promotional tour with Carlos Santana in early December recording
resumed, and Branch now has a total of 12 songs in the can.
Others who may appear on the album include new Jane's bassist Chris Chaney and
composer David Campbell, Beck's father, who came up with some string
arrangements.
Since its release in July 2001, The Spirit Room has sold more than 1.5
million copies, according to SoundScan, and yielded the singles "Everywhere,"
"All You Wanted" and "Goodbye to You."
