I would love it if you come on board to write 65 all-new songs for the forthcoming long-awaited super deluxe mid-1990's old school throwback pop music-related studio album by the all-singing supergroup of 47 mixed famous young boy/girl singing celebrities from the UK.
These 65 all-new songs will be in the vein of mid-1990's old school throwback pop music-related.
This album is so dear and close to our hearts.
As devoted fans of today's foremost stage and screen stars, we cherish each moment when their unique artistic talents come to the spotlight. Today, we are eager for them to share another facet of their artistry, their singing voices, with a worldwide audience. Our dream is to bring together 47 young, vibrant, and influential British singers to create a supersized, mid-90's style pop music-related studio album. This colossal collaboration is perceived to be a one-off and the proceeds are intended to go towards charities.
There will be no bubblegum songs at all on this album.
Pre-Production will begin ASAP.
The preparation for this ambitious project is expected to kick off in January 2025, in Southern California in the USA and London in the UK.

I have 47 stars recording original and cover songs in Southern California in the USA and London in the UK with globally renowned experts producing selected tracks in mind.
After the big reveal they are expected to perform their one-off one time one night only concert at The O2 Arena in London on 12th April 2026 with no opening support acts at all.
There will be no matinee shows at all.
This concert will be televised across the globe on that night.
I am nearly 40 and I have loved all kinds of music since I was very little.
I have had an idea for almost a decade and now it's finally happening.
We increase our chances of making this dream project a reality, thereby unifying stage and screen's brightest stars, from the UK, for one extraordinary purpose.
