French-born pop singer Alan A., who has made a splash at Gay Pride festivals in the last few years, is to release his new Brit Pop-inspired album Astray, on Thursday, January 8.

THE ALBUM, which is also inspired by being a gay man in a big city, continues Alan A.’s tradition of producing satirical, yet sharp-edged pop and tackles a range of subjects such as coming out (So What?), life evolution (Third Part In My Life) and online cruising (Sexting), all told with a cheeky glint in the eye.

The singer/songwriter, who grew up on a diet of The Spice Girls, Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran, has already released two other albums, Ambiguity and Advent, but believes this one to be ‘more professionally made.’

He is also hoping to perform at more Gay Pride festivals this year:

Alan B, said: “I’m hoping to do some more Gay Pride festivals this summer like I have these last few years. So time to learn the words because I like to get off stage and have my public singing with me!”
