It seems like there are European November dates for QAL, so it wouldn't make sense to release the album at that time. I'm hoping for a single in May, when there's still time to promote it before QAL begins, and then the album with a second single in August, after the American leg of QAL has ended. Just guessing but it seems like Adam is recording and producing the album now (vs. writing demos) since there was a bit of chatter after the Bonnie McKee recording session about "beats" and the Pink Satellite Studio photos really looked like a recording not a writing session. Assuming that is the case, it is possible they could release a single in May before the North American Tour and leverage the tour press as promo. Not based on anything -- but just how this feels. I think that it is more likely that the single is releasing during the QAL break in August-September and the album is released in November or later. If they were planning to release a single in May, there would be more Adam in the press than we have now. Not performances or anything, just a bit of pre-single release promo. That said, I have a very, very good feeling about this album. In part because Adam seems so centered, he mentioned real instrument and being more bluesy, I like the collaborators he has revealed, and because Pharaoh is in the studio. I haven't heard much about Max Martin being involved.. is he still going to produce this album as Adam said early on or is it too early in the process for his involvement?

Adam liked a pic of Sauli's from Runyon. Nemo and his white pooch were at Runyon this afternoon as well. Also looks like Markus is going to be at Cochella.

No Pharaoh, no Adam, ...but Sauli posted two instagrams up in Runyon Canyon. One is a view of the Canyon, the other--- him tossing a water bottle.
Well, maybe tomorrow! Haha

Just thinking out loud cause I know nothing, lol. But is a late October date possible? Many big guns release in November don't they and it could be too crowded? But an October date would still allow him to benefit from the Thanksgiving and Christmas traffic.

Max Martin is usually very quiet about what he is doing. Adam said he was working with Max Martin and I am sure he is. My guess is Max Martin is Executive Producer for the whole album and that Shellback is also very involved -- particularly because real instruments are actually involved. In the Max Martin world, real instruments usually means Shellback is producing.

Depends how extensive the tour is in November. But does look likely his solo album well be pushed back a bit. A4 never had a release date -- so it can't be pushed back a bit. The only dates have been in the minds of fans.
