Former ASKING ALEXANDRIA Singer DANNY WORSNOP Reveals Artwork Of Upcoming Solo Album ‘The Prozac Sessions’
Former ASKING ALEXANDRIA and current WE ARE HARLOT frontman Danny Worsnop has revealed one of four different covers that will grace his upcoming debut solo album, “The Prozac Sessions”.
The singer, who is currently in Nashville seeking a suitable label to release the record, wrote on his Instagram account: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, album cover A. Every piece of artwork was so perfect that I have decided to use them all, which means there will be four versions of the album, all with different visuals. I am thinking of writing a couple more songs so that each version will have a different bonus track.”
Danny told Alternative Press last year about his upcoming solo CD: “[The solo album has] still got some of that typical snotty flair going. I’m still, for the most part, singing the blues. But I went into it with country in mind. I’ve always loved country. In England, I grew up as a country boy. I was in a small village of two hundred people. The lifestyle goes hand in hand with the music all over the world. [But writing] it just never crossed my mind. Obviously, of late, I’ve made a lot of life changes, where I’m exploring new things. So it seemed like an appropriate time. I had some time off, I was jamming on the guitar and I had some ideas, and I was, like, ‘Fuck it, let’s take this and run.”
The material on “The Prozac Sessions” was completed with songwriters like Hillary Lindsey (Carrie Underwood) and John Paul White (THE CIVIL WARS), while producer Jim Kaufman sat behind the boards.
“We’re definitely going to push to radio a lot, do videos,” Danny told Alternative Press. “[The solo project] is definitely something I’d like to make a lot of money doing and get to do more of. If it’s not a success, I doubt I’ll have much opportunity to do it again. [But] there’s no plans to tour, per se. Maybe just shows here and there. So it’s nothing that’s… I know I’ve said this before, and it ended with me leaving the band. [Laughs]”
Worsnop revealed he was exiting ASKING ALEXANDRIA in January 2015, explaining in a statement: “Over the last eight years together, we’ve done some amazing things and created something truly special. I now, same as then, want what’s best for the band and at this point in time, that isn’t me.”
Danny has since been replaced by Ukrainian singer Denis Shaforostov, who gained notoriety posting ASKING ALEXANDRIA covers on YouTube and consequentially inked a deal with Sumerian in his band DOWN AND DIRTY.
