[I've] written all original music [for the forthcoming Spanish-language CD], as was [1993's] 'Mi tierra' -- years back. It's very organic. It's really down to the roots. I'm in love with that record. It's very rhythmic. It's a very passionate record, and I'm thrilled. It should come out next [2007] summer. And a single probably early on in the summer. The album probably will be [out] around September [2007].
