Our brazilian colleagues got some hot new info about few song titles, which were recently written by Pierre and Chuck! Of course, it’s still unknown if these songs will be used for the new album or not.

The first song is called “Paralysed” and was written only by Chuck and Pierre.

The next song, “You Suck At Love”, was also written by them but the guys also collaborated with Mattem Squire (who has worked with bands like 3OH!3, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco, Boys Like Girls or The Cab).

“Astronaut” is the last song-title. It was written by Pierre and Chuck – though, it is yet unknown if it was written for Simple Plan or for some other band. The guys worked with Julian Emery (british producer and song-writer, known for his collaboration with McFly) and Jim Irvin, who worked with Davidem Guetta.

So, what do YOU think of the new song-titles? Any ideas what the songs could be about?

Yesterday, the hosts of the radio show Bitch Slap Radio on the idobi radio called Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan for a more than 16-minutes-long interview.

Thanks to this interview, we found out that the guys have already written more songs for the upcoming album than for any of the previous albums before and that the guys plan to hit the studio probably in mid-March. About the name of the next album, Chuck said there is none chosen yet, but the guys are apparently thinking about one name already.

Song about fans to be included on the new album!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 2. February 2010 | 4 comments

The songwriting process for the upcoming Simple Plan album is still going on in Los Angeles and according to the news we daily get from Pierre’s and Chuck’s tweets, it’s apparently going on pretty well.

Chuck informed on Twitter yesterday that to honor his 500th tweet, the guys decided to write a song about YOU – the fans. After that he encouraged the fans to contribute to the writing process by replying them about how has SP’s music made them feel through the years, what songs were important to them and how they related to their lives.

“Reading all your tweets and feeling so amazing, grateful and humbled by all the amazing things you guys wrote us. Thank you so much,” says Chuck after discovering the deepest fans’ feelings about SP’s music. These feelings should reflect on one of the songs on the upcoming Simple Plan album. “We are writing a song about all the things you guy are writing us…it’s sounding so great. it’s like you guys are co-writing with us.”

Speaking of the new record, the guys have already said few times that the album should have a “back to the roots” flavour – which means it should be similar to what Simple Plan have done on their debut album “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls”. The exact date when SP should be heading back to the studio is still not known, but Simple Plan expect to hit it in the spring of 2010. They also promised to the fans that the whole album should be out definitely this year!

Yesterday (or today, depends of where you’re from) Pierre and Chuck suddenly decided to make a live videochat via twitcam with their fans. Even if you could not attend it (yes, blame time zones), the current technology allows you to watch the videochat via the video below. It’s kind of like a 45-minutes-long interactive vlog.
