At this moment, Jimmy is writing the lyrics for his new album, which is likely to be available in the Fall of 2002. The promotion for this album begins this summer with the release of 2 new singles. According to the information that is provided to us, these are all newly produced and not remixes from ealier business deals. MEDIA is negotiating at this time with EMI, BMG and Universal over Marketing deals.
Unconfirmed rumors that are circulating is that Jimmy Somerville and Kylie Minogue are planning a duet together. Supposedly they have met and discussed this so we'll keep you informed.


2 successful producers are working with Jimmy and his colleagues.  First:  Mauro Picotto is working on something softer.  Second:  Tom Novy is producing a new track in a Pop/House style.
Besides having Gigi D’Agostino, RMB, De Phazz and hopefully DJ Tonka, the collaboration will be confirmed on a new album.


media2.jpg (6364 Byte)Limburg, Germany 17. 07. 2001 - Many rumors have surounded this deal, but now it´s official: Jimmy Somerville is the new member of the Media Records Family, who also have Mauro Picotto, Mariu Piu and Gigi D´Agostino under contract. Robinson Ewald (Media Records), Carol Crabtree & Gunther Walker (both Solar Management), Stephanie Pott (Mad Music Management), Pascal Amann (Lawyer) and Jimmy Somerville have met to sign the contract in the Limburg office of the Independent Label. September is going to be the month when the production for the new album starts. For example, Gigi D´Agostino was in talks as producer for the future project.

Joining Jimmy as background singers/vocals are Gillian Wisdom & Matthew David, from his club route days.  Many visitors to Jimmy’s concerts in this year and last have admitted that in the “Almighty Defenitive” mix it was a true joy to have them singing.  It reminds people of a strong live version of “Why”, and they have also noted that the singing duels between Jimmy, Gillian and Matthew supplies itself with simple grandios.

We hope that the German Fan’s also soon have the opportunity to have these ingenious singles in Germany to buy.  A MUST for Fan’s!


Jimmy’s entry into our guest book!!!

The American Fans had to wait until January 2000 for the album to appear in stores, but only with a different cover.  At the same time Jimmy organized a small promotour in June/July in the USA.
