Christine News!

[AlanC]

A friend of mine who lives near Uckfield in lower Sussex sent me the following email this week...



Alan,



Hello across the pond! Hope this finds you well my friend and in a crouching position as you will most certainly be chuffed with the latest concerning our beloved Chrissie.

What I have gathered from numerous and extremely reliable sources is that she has been writing exstensively and indeed plans a new album for 2009.

She has been asked to record for a new Mac album this year but declined sorry to say :(

I will update you as I hear anything further!

Cheers,

Robert


I pray that this news is true! A new Lindsey and Christine CD along with an upcoming FM album is more excitement than my heart can take!!!:blob1::thumbsup:

[sywlindseyfan]

This is truly unbelievable, so Chris is going to have another solo album?!?!?!?! And did i understand correctly that she is not going to participate in the Fleetwood Mac album 2009?

[sywlindseyfan]

Thanks soo much for the news by the way!

[AlanC]

That's what he said but I still have alot of questions. A new Christine album would be awesome if she uses a different producer. Her last album was hit and miss with me.

I loved the songs "Friend", "You Are", "Northern Star" and the closing track but the rest were mis-matched IMO.

I love the Mac but am missing her terribly!

[sywlindseyfan]

You and I together mate, I neeeeeed her to be in Mac.... it's like a drug for me.

[Gailh]

A new album? Does this mean she's fallen in love again? :xoxo:

I hope this is true. the bit about the album I mean. Not that it wouldn't be nice if she'd fallen in love again.... (oh shut up Gail)

Gail

[macfan 57]

I hope this is true. I don't want to get my hopes up though if it's not true.

I'd prefer a CM solo album over her on a FM album anyway since I'd get more CM songs on a solo album.

I would have liked her to contribute to a new FM album but I'd like a solo album as well because I'm a greedy pig!

If it's one or the other I'll take the solo album

Gail

[Musicman408]

It would've been nice for her to be on the new FM album, but even nicer for her to do the tour.

That being said, I think it is very cool that she is doing a solo album. I would most certainly have to but that thing.

[TrueFaith77]

She should do the Mac album. It's very disappointing to me that they can't come to an agreement on this. Even without her on tour. I also think her nephew should co-produce the Mac album with Lindsey.

That said, I would rather have a solo album than nothing. . . sigh :(

Maybe Dan Perfect will be the other producer on the new FM album so that Lindsey isn't sole producer. In that way Stevie gets at least a member of Christine's family to protect her if not the lady herself. :laugh:

Seriously, if this is true then perhaps Christine just doesn't fancy travelling to L.A. to record or getting "sucked back" into the strange world of Fleetwood Mac.

Gail

Well... they should record in England.

[Gailh]

Well... they should record in England.

Well they could but perhaps she just doesn't want to do it. It would be easy enough for Lindsey to pop over for a couple of weeks, get Christine to add some vocals and keyboards to existing tracks and take a couple of her songs back for the others to work on. She's got her own studio and everything.

I've always said they could find a way if there was the collective will to make some music together. Perhaps the lack of will is on Christine's side.

I'd like this news to be true but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

Gail

[Ulpian]

Brilliant news if this is true! :nod:

I think ITM had a lot of potential, and I liked it, but it was (intentionally) not marketed extensively nor did it have the involvement of a wide range of producers/music label people. I think given that help, Christine could make a big splash with something new.

:blob2:

I think it was kept deliberately low key. I think she was happy just (mainly) her and Dan working together. I can't imagine she'd want all that music label attention.

The lack of a tour was what did for the sales. Before it's release it was high in the pre-release charts but when it was released everyone who'd expressed an interest bought it but no one else. Not much press and radio and in the UK no TV didn't help either.

Agreed. She definitely seemed to want it that way, and so couldn't have been too surprised when it didn't sell millions! But such is the nature of the music industry now, it's so different, and certainly more difficult for 'older' artists whose fan base is less concerned about downloading tracks and more about paying the mortgage (to paraphrase Stevie in that SYW doc)!

I think you mentioned that ITM was maybe being 'reworked' for wider release though? Was that something Martin Wyatt mentioned, and if so is it maybe something to do with this? (Maybe a parallel project?)

I know Christine wouldn't get label execs involved as she doesn't want the hassle, but I do think that with more involvement from people like that behind the scenes any future release might reach a wider audience. However, I'd be equally glad if she just released something like ITM again! Anything to hear more of what she's been writing :D

[aleuzzi]

I hope this is true. I don't want to get my hopes up though if it's not true.

YES! I actually would prefer this, too. It shows she is gaining confidence in her abilities apart from the band. And another album of the calibre of ITM would be a dream come true!

I am a bit surprised she turned down the offer to record for the "last" Mac album, since I'm sure she could have done this without touring, but I'm also oddly happy about it (if it's true) because it shows she has put the past behind and is thinking of her self in the present.

[aleuzzi]

Gail

I think it is. Christine severed the ties, broke the chain, whatever. But if she's got more music coming out, I say bully for her! I have to get my hopes up. The possibilities are too exciting not to enjoy...

[nicepace]

I would far, far prefer a new Christine solo record to her participation in a Fleetwood Mac album.

I think the small handful of us who are Chris fanatics (we know who we are!) would agree on this point.

Of course, I'd welcome her participation on a Fleetwood Mac album too, but as one of the other posters said, if she will only do one, not both, I'll take the solo record.

I like 'In the Meantime' a whole lot, even though I would have made some different production choices. Specifically, I would have featured Chris' keyboards more prominently, and in particular I would have had a grand piano accompaniment for "Calumny."

When you think about it, why shouldn't Chris do another solo record? Musicians don't just stop making music. I like to think of her dabbling with creating an occasional song on a piano in her country home in Kent. There is no pressure on her to create anything. She has plenty of money, and obviously doesn't care much about critical acclaim or record sales. It's the perfect scenario for her to make some new music.

Let's hope this is for real.

[jbrownsjr]

I think she didn't really like the FM direction anymore.... And that's fine, she can go hew own way... I would love to see her get a little more instrumental and jam more.... plus it saves her voice....

[AlanC]

Her voice was still very much up to par on her last solo album and the woman is pushing 70!!!!! Most women lose thier range and vobrato along with a deepening of the vocals as they grow older. Chris still has it!!!!!!!!

[Villavic]

So (if this is true) she is not fully retired. She just doesn't want to leave England and work in the US to record a mac album. Yes maybe if the band agree to record in England, though it wouldn't be fair for their families,,..

[AlanC]

Agnetha Falskog , the blonde from ABBA suffers from a panic stricken fear of flying----which hinders her from traveling any longer unless its in her native Sweden.

Her last english album was recorded with her Warner label understanding that she would not tour in promotion of it.

:confused:

There are many similarities between the two ladies. A couple of years ago Abba got together for some anniversary of the show Mama Mia in London but Agnetha didn't join them. she was interviewed at the time and said that there "wasn't a day went by that she didn't think of Abba" - sound familiar? I don't think Christine's dislike of flying is that strong though. she went to the states to promote ITM didn't she?

If Christine really wanted to participate in the next FM project she'd find a way. It would only mean her being in L.A. for a couple of weeks and Lindsey coming over here for a couple of weeks. I think that if this story is true we have to face the fact that she DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN FLEETWOOD MAC ANYMORE - sorry to shout.

But. . . why?

[Gailh]

But. . . why?

I don't presume to speak for the lady herself but I'd hazard a guess that at her age she likes to work at her own pace when she feels like it without the attendant nonsense that comes with a FM album. She's done all that and clearly doesn't feel like repeating the experiance.

We have to remember that she is 65 years old and although we hope she is healthy you do tend to slow down as you get older.

I may be wrong but I think that at the back of her mind she thinks they might try to bully her into touring again which she clearly doesn't want to do.

I don't believe there is any sinister reason - she is happy where she is and what she is doing with her life. Good for her!

I absolutely agree. We all tend to forget that Christine wanted to retire from music back in 1970, before she even joined FM properly! From the ITM publicity we know how much she loves her life back home in the UK and that any involvement in something big and flashy (i.e. an FM album) which was done on terms other than her own would just lift her out of that happiness. Also, as you say, at 65 I think she simply wants to do things her way and at her pace, and I say fair enough!

That's obviously the most likely thing. The original post contained nothing that I would call reliable information ... all it was was a quoted email from someone we don't know to someone who is a board newbie.

But it's fun to speculate on a possible new Christine album, and looking at her low-key, no-expectations approach to 'In the Meantime,' I don't think it's impossible she'll do a similar project again. She apparently had fun recording that record. There was no media circus, no late nights, no months at a time on the road. If she DOES do a new album, would it be too much to hope for that she'd do a couple of low-key acoustic gigs to back it up?

God I hope so.... something where her vocals are smooth and laid like warm ways... or the verses on Bad journey...

I loved her preachiness in Bad Journey... "never thought you'd tear me apart..." etc etc...

[MacMan]

A couple of years ago Abba got together for some anniversary of the show Mama Mia in London but Agnetha didn't join them.

But I believe she showed up in London for the film premiere this year didn't she?

So there's still hope for Christine yet!

We don't have anything concrete but it may still be true. I'm not getting my hopes up. I do remember though quite a while before ITM was released there were rumours circulating that she was working on an album.

As for any live stuff - I think we can forget it. although she might lead a sing-song in her local pub :laugh: So it's everyone down to The Rose!

This is true, But those rumors were from a very credible source, in my opinion. Neil(from the Go Your Own Way website) was told by Ken Caillait that she was recording a new album. There were also rumors that Chris & Eddy had divorced. Then a few years later, Ken Caillait confirmed those rumors in his Q & A on this site. However, remember those cancer rumors from about 5 years ago? Thank God those rumors turned out not to be true.

I'm hopeful, but very skeptical until we get credible confirmation that this is true.

[jbrownsjr]

what i don't understand is Why Are we Keeping Secrets

[aleuzzi]

A new album from Christine would be an experience I would Never Forget. I mean, I listen to her songs Over and Over. Her voice is One in a Million, etc..., ad nauseum.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[AlanC]

no Little Lies, lol

Robert Bingham has always been on the money in the past concerning Christine news. He lives near Kent Co and is a huge Chris fan. He provided me with song titles from ITM weeks before they were confirmed so I myself am not going to be so quick to write him off with this news.

Having said that, I can understand anyones doubts without solid confirmation. All we can do is wait and see ;)

[michelej1]

The important thing is that we don't stop hoping.

Michele

All these references to song titles go right "over my head"

It's totally in her blood, so I could easily see her do that again. I mean, it's what she did her entire adult life. You can retire from the music business, but you Don't Stop being a musician.

As a musician, I can honestly I'd Rather Go Blind than stop creating new music. Christine probably feels the same way.

[billwebster]

I remember ITM being rumored on here a year or 2 prior to its actual release, and I agree that a new Christine solo album would be very much appreciated. My favourites from that album are "Givin it back", "Friend", "Bad Journey" and "Sweet Revenge". I enjoyed the RNB sound of "Forgiveness", a lot, too, but I had been hoping for more of her own keyboard work than such a high number of funk rhythm guitar. Still, it's probably down to who's the guitarist and what does the producer want. I'd be very happy if she'd invite Billy Burnette and Michael Thompson (that solo on "Hollywood (Some Other Kind of Town)" is fabulous) to the sessions, and would love it if she'd dare to prominently feature herself playing vintage keyboards from the 70s and 80s.
Hopefully, she'll find a label to license the new record to, because Sanctuary Records, who released ITM is not in business anymore, if I remember correctly. My suggestion for that would be Proper Records from the UK, because they've got some experience with marketing artists in the 2nd half of their careers.

I think that it's more likely to be Universal. Martin Wyatt has said that he was "negotiating with Universal to re-work ITM"

I hope we do get another solo album but I'm not holding my breath.

You know, on that note, I really think she could make just one appearance and take care of business. I'm not going to advocate the merits of American Idol and its contestants in general, because I'm not sure there are any. But, seriously, if she appeared on that show as one of their guest mentors (or whatever they call it) and performed a song live, that would not require a tremendous commitment. And a bazillion people would hear her.

I'm not sure I'd be interested in hearing the contestants cover her music, but it would certainly be a boatload of exposure.

Vivica is a beautiful black actress and find it hard to believe there are any Americans who havent heard of her unless they've lived under a rock thier whole lives! lol

I really can't see Christine doing that.

Perhaps she doesn't care how many people buy it. It clearly wasn't an issue with ITM. She knows what it takes to sell an album but she's not prepared to make that kind of effort or commitment. she also knows that the sales will suffer as a result and it's a price she's prepared to pay.

I don't think she cares about sales. She doesn't need the money. She said as much in several of her ITM interviews. She wanted it to be low key.

[Jessica]

Do keep in mind that I didn't say I could see her appearing on American Idol. I just said it would be excellent publicity and wouldn't require a great deal of commitment on her part...probably less than a week of her time. The most publicity bang for the buck, if you like. But, she probably doesn't care. It's unfortunate, though. ITM was certainly better than a lot of what's out there.

The Way I Feel about it....Christine can do whatever she wants - and she's doing just that. Accept the fact that she doesn't want to do it All Over Again!
All this wishing, hoping and pleading for her to re-emerge reminds me of spoiled children demanding that the real Santa to come down the chimney, and feeling disappointed that they weren't given everything on their wish list.

Beyond a musician, Christine is a real person living this stage of her life as she pleases. She owes no one a command performance or anything else.

Not that she would ever do it -- but I can't understand why people want her to appear on American Idol!! What would be the motivation? It would just serve to diminish her legacy. She doesn't need nor want any more exposure....especially from that garrish, cheesy manufactured music show. Christine's far too classy for that.

And her beautifully understated songs do not lend themselves to the over-the-top vocal performances that the judges are looking for.

Very well put.

I'd love her to make some more music but I'm happy for her to do it on her own terms. As you say she doesn't owe anyone anything.

Any more music from her would be a bonus.

I'm now going to listen to PROVE YOUR LOVE & GONE INTO THE SUN ... from back when hippies were hippies & we all KNEW where our cruciferous vegetables were harvested.
