Any update on Scott Stapp?

[Jooji_2]

The Passion of the Christ CD is set to be released on August 31 I believe. I read somewhere (sorry I can't remember where) that Stapp's song will be the first one from that CD released to radio.....so maybe we might expect it to be released a bit earlier than the CD...isn't that the way it's usually done? The first single a bit earlier than the CD?

Maybe once that song is released we will start hearing more about the other stuff coming up later.

Robyn, when you say 'released', do you mean when the album comes out or released on radio????

Hey, Alter Rocker, I know you changed your name, but who were you before????? I'm not sure who you are now.......

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer on that. The CD is set to be released on August 31. However, like Jooji said, Relearn Love is set to be the first single from the CD. There has been no set date, that we know of, for the single to be released. Scott wrote 4 songs for this CD, but again we don't know if they will all be included on this CD.

And FYI - Alter_Rocker was, in a previous life, Addicated2Stapp.

It's getting harder and harder to wait until we hear his new music! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though!

here is a little info that i found on the producer he is working with, i believe his name is 7 Aurelius.
i found this on a hip hop site, here is the url for it http://streetcornerrecords.com/SevenAurelius.asp

"Seven Aurelius learned music in the local Pentecostal church in Lexington, Ky., where his grandfather was a pastor. There he played drums and learned to play several other instruments by ear, including keyboard and bass. In a random meeting in 1994, 7 connected with comedian Jamie Foxx, who happened to be performing in Lexington. Impressed with his beats, Foxx offered to put him up in L.A., prompting 7 to quit his restaurant dishwasher job.

After months there, actor Tyrin Turner(Menace II Society), a personal friend, brought 7 to the attention of Rap-A-Lot CEO James Prince, who used several of his tracks for Scarface's Untouchable and Last of a Dying Breed. However, things went awry when 7's name was initially missing from the credits. So when Irv Gotti approached him at a party and suggested the two work together in the future, a disgruntled 7 didn't think twice.

Seven moved to New York City in 2000, seeing Gotti and his growing Murder lnc. label as another golden opportunity. He began to bust out hits almost instantly (see above). The accolades came flooding in for Gotti's production and Ashanti's songwriting, but 7 was again unrecognized and unfulfilled. After two years, 7 couldn't take it anymore. 'I packed up the penthouse that Irv had me living in and shipped everything back to Kentucky.' He is currently working on other projects including his own debut as a solo artist."


he also has an official website http://www.7aurelius.com/ but seems like it hasn't been updated in quite a while.

Maybe this can be misquoted of somebody!! The CD Robyn is talking about is NOT Stapp's own solo album! We are talking about a soundtrack called " The Passion of the Christ: Songs of Inspiration". It's another Wind-up soundtrack!! Keep your eyes open, I don't think it's impossible that Alter Bridge may put a B-side on that soundtrack... At least I hope...

[aussiecreeder]

its possible AB could be on that soundtrack but that sure would be interestering. can't wait to hear stapp's solo material and have that voice in the public arena again. best of luck to good ol leather pants!

Ahh, thanks Robyn and Jooji_2, so you are indeed saying that we might could hear him on the radio, and if it's the first single to be released, then that means that it will be on the radio before the album comes out, and that means that me need for Scott's voice will be met even sooner, and that means that I love you so much for being my source of Scott information! But, just by you guy's judgment, do you think that only christian stations will play it, or will the other stations play it too. I know alot of the regular radiostations here in Oklahoma played mercyme. (I'm just making sure I didn't misunderstand anything, I seem to do that too often )

Thanks guys for clearing up who Alter Rocker was, Hayley, *she's trying to confuse me while I left for a little while

From the information I've seen about the song, I haven't gotten the impression that it is just for christian stations. Just FYI, Wind-Up records is the company releasing the CD.

[Creed_Defaultgirl]

Thankyou....again!
