░█ █░ ▀
█ Three decades have passed since a restless, █
█ wild-eyed teenager from northwest England first █
█ packed his bags for London to pursue his passion █
█ for music, and though he has enjoyed formidably █
█ staying power, chart-topping records and sold-out █
█ concerts around the world, John WaiteÆs hunger has █
█ never diminished û it has simply become something █
█ much more complex. █
█ █
█ The turn of the page to 2011 finds the █
█ ever-evolving British singer/songwriter preparing █
█ the release of ôRough and Tumbleö, John WaiteÆs █
█ anticipated new studio album recorded partly in █
█ Nashville and recently wrapped up in Los Angeles █
█ with the members of his touring band. █
█ █
█ Waite says. ôAs much as the live album released █
█ last may was a defining moment and as much as I █
█ enjoyed playing those songs, I consider this album █
█ as a new beginning.ö Waite is referring █
█ specifically to the sweet pocket of creativity he █
█ enjoyed with Matchbox 20 lead guitarist/songwriter █
█ Kyle Cook. The two wrote plenty of fresh new music █
█ for ôRough & Tumbleö. █
█ █
█ ôItÆs pretty much extraordinary,ö Waite says of █
█ the material he created with Cook, who he met █
█ through a mutual friend. ôItÆs not like what █
█ people would expect from me. ItÆs a step to the █
█ left. ThereÆs a rock imprint on the music and a █
█ melodic presence, but itÆs just shifted gears. It █
█ has an identity and a philosophy of its own, which █
█ is really fresh for me.ö █
█ █
█ The collaboration has proved to be nothing short █
█ of phenomenal, and songs like ôEvilö (a thumping █
█ rocker-meets-dance-club tour de force), ôBetter █
█ Off Goneö (a hook-laced █
█ better-off-on-the-open-road anthem), ôLoveÆs GoinÆ █
█ Out of Styleö and the magic ballad ôIf You Ever █
█ Get Lonelyö. ôIÆm not saying itÆs high art, but █
█ genuinely speaking, itÆs fantastic for me,ö Waite █
█ says, reflecting on his new music. ôI certainly am █
█ interested in spending the rest of my life doing █
█ something creative rather than just living in the █
█ pastö. This eclectic collection of brand new █
█ music, WaiteÆs first studio album since 2007Æs █
█ ôDowntownàJourney of Heartö, is set for a January █
█ 2011 release in Europe on Frontiers Records. █
