To be confirmed….

Retropop posted about this for an interview with Claire Richards which has now been edited to remove any info.
But Andy has been working with Steve Anderson for quite some time as Andy did let it slip at the Music Made By The Machines book launch (but was quickly shut down by Richard EIS)

I would really prefer Andy to focus with Vince on the new album, personally, especially if Vince is claiming it's completely finished, bar the vocals. Seems strange to me Vince told us this 3 months ago now and there's zero progress since. For me it's almost borderline disrespectful - Vince has been through a hell of a lot through 2022 and my guess is some of that album was written partly as a response.

It’s a busy Time for Andy this year as not only is he doing the live headline shows,now we have news about a solo duets album,the Dave Aude album & he has also recorded a couple of new Torsten tracks for a possible 4th instalment in that series.
This is also separate to the new Erasure album.

Yep, agreed, but all the above will simply push back any new Erasure album as he has so much going on (I guess most of that was sorted out before Vince finished the album). Still a bit confused about that though - it's almost like Vince didn't tell Andy he had an entire album ready and caught him off-guard

JH: (Laughing) Alright, let’s talk about this new album, it’s different from your work with Erasure, even ‘Non-Stop’ or ‘Electric Blue’.

And we did a co-write with Megan Trainor before she became famous, and like all these other people. So we’ve got these odd songs around as well, and we continued to write off and on, and I thought I would like to write a song that was a mix between Whitney Houston’s comeback, and a Fleetwood Mac chorus. So that came out as “Lies So Deep,” and that ended up being a duet with Sarah Potenza. She’s a really ballsy singer, and they are doing a new club album together, Dave and her. So she was perfect for that, and I reached out to Mute (Erasure’s record label) and said I would like to do a double CD with people I have worked on collabs with. Then I realized I had done pretty much an album with Dave. We had worked on it in Amsterdam, but those songs didn’t make it onto the album. One of the songs was called “Last Chance Saloon”, which had a cowboy whistling. (singing a cowboy trail off)

This seems to be where the idea of a ‘duet’ album came from,so there are more tracks out there.
