Stupid.
“My new record is about love, happiness, fun and yummy things.
Getting to work with my friend and long-time collaborator Bob Rock (Call Me
Irresponsible, Crazy Love and Christmas) who produced the entire album was very
exciting. We’re a good team. I love the songs we selected this time out.
It was also terrific working once again with my song-writing partners”

London’s 02 Arena beginning June 30th.
