A listing at Amazon.com kinda spilled the beans ahead of an official announcement from James. But it was still plenty exciting when the Season 10 Idol alum tweeted confirmation today that the name of his debut album is James Durbin..Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster.
The album is set to be released on November 21.
“[It] means looking back on events in my life, to see the beauty in the pain, ” James explains
” We had a really positive meeting about picking a single last night, ” James tweeted excitedly, “Y’all are gonna love it!!! And wait til you see the cover!! Soon to come.” Expect the cover to be released soon, says James.
“As soon as the album is available to pre-order on durbinrock.com we will have special packages that include merch! I’m trying to design as much of the merch as possible. I wanna give the best gear I can into the hands of the best fans…in the world!”
The album will contain a mixture of songs written by others and co-written by James. “…there was only the couple weeks before it started, for me to write/co-write, ” James explains.
James has co-written with James Michael from Sixx:A.M., Dj Ashba from Nikki Sixx’s band and Marty Fredrickson (Aerosmith, Carrie Underwood, David Cook). Motley Crue’s Mick Mars played guitar on the record. Daughtry producer Howard Benson produced the disc, and by coincidence, James album will be released the same day as Daughtry’s 3rd studio album, Break the Spell.
