Maybe it won't be long till there is an official announcement. You could be right over BMG Chrysallis ![]() Just looked at The Empire's Facebook page and their genre is 'Indie Rock and Roll' (can't do link, I'm on an iPad) |

Thanks for the vids guys!
![]() Looks like Luke is in London today songwriting, I'm so excited to hear which label he's signed to. I mean songwriting with people who have worked with rather obscure artists and are pretty niche themselves...do they sound like people Sony would introduce Luke to? I'm not so sure |

Here's a Video someone posted the link to on Twitter from their Facebook. It's quite interesting he talks about why he didn't sing any originals at his Kremlin gig. He also talks about writing this week with some cool people.

he is so cute in the videos!I like what he said about not playing his own songs because of the sound quality not being good and him wanting his own songs to sound good.
Yeh I loved what he said about the originals, he's so right - nightclubs usually have poor sound quality (cause of the screaming) - he probably would prefer a more intimate gig to perform his originals

![]() I'm excited about his new possible music, what genre are people thinking it will be? |

![]() I'm excited about his new possible music, what genre are people thinking it will be? I think you can have a style but still take that to its edges. The first album may have a few tracks slightly more commercial to transition from XF. He always stressed on the show that he stayed true to himself and so if that did extend to his song choices, such as Let Her Go/Kiss From a Rose might suggest thar he might be happy with some near mainstream stuff as well. |

,I am not a UJ fan at all but then saying that both their singles went top 10 so it might be ok.Hopefully Luke will have a lot of input into the songs and the writing of them.He seems excited about so fingers crossed it goes well.

Hi everyone,
How are you all? Good to be back. Missed you! I've been following the threads during my sabbatical but didn't have the energy to participate. Anyway, I'm still sore in places but less concussed and feeling a lot better. It's all getting rather exciting isn't it...hopefully, we'll hear some news soon about which label Luke'll be signing to. Liz xx |

He seems very sure of the kind of songs he wants to do, so I'm sure if he wasn't happy he'd say so
![]() He seems excited at the way things are going ![]() Welcome back Liz ![]() Glad you are on the mend

Thanks Patti-Ann.
I kind of feel that you and I are "partners in crime" as we are of similar ages I think. Seems like all is coming together for Luke; as you say he seems very happy about the way things are going. Liz xx |
