New Simple Plan album to feature collaborations!

Two days ago, Jeff revealed a pretty surprising news on his Twitter: “Tomorrow, we’re gonna have a really special visitor at the studio. I know, I’m a tease but i can’t say who it is yet.” And as you will find out in the translated article below, Simple Plan are really planning special collaborations featured on the new album.

If it’s a singer type-of collaboration, it would be the second Simple Plan album to include voices of other people than the Simple Plan members: you could have noticed few featurings on SP’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls”, where Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus does vocals on “I’d Do Anything” and the voice of Joel Madden from Good Charlotte can be heard on “You Don’t Mean Anything”.

Check out the whole article (which has been posted on Cyberpresse.ca) revealing the news about collaborations on the upcoming album below:

New plans for Simple Plan

This exclusive photo of Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, Jeff Stinco was taken two days ago in the recording studio in Vancouver. The five members of Simple Plan are currently putting the finishing touches on their fourth album, which is due early 2011.

Chuck (drummer) told me that the group had not yet found the title for this album but he told me anyway, exclusively, some song-titles that you can find on this new album: You Suck at Love, Astronaut and This Song Saved My Life. To pique your curiosity even more, you should know that Simple Plan will welcome special guests and will present surprising collaborations. Before the release of the album, the band’s fans will have the chance to hear excerpts of the record on November 14th, while the group will be giving an acoustic concert at Club Sportif MAA on Peel Street in Montreal to benefit their Simple Plan Foundation. The tickets are $100 per person. The event is a brunch for the whole family, and certainly for many, a concert that is priceless!

Who would YOU like to be featured on Simple Plan’s upcoming album?

Rivers Cuomo about his collaboration with Simple Plan

It’s been already few months since we’ve let you know that Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer of Weezer, is collaborating with Simple Plan on one song, which could end up on the new Simple Plan record. So far the song has been described by Simple Plan members as “funny, happy and rock”.

Our beloved Patrick Langlois, who is working for MusiquePlus now, recently interviewed Rivers Cuomo and asked him about his collaboration with Simple Plan. Cuomo said:

“They work super-hard on their record right now. It feels like a very important record for them, they wanna grow and I think it’s really smart they’re hooking up with different musicians, like myself, and experimenting, collaborating and seeing what kind of new influences they can bring in. I heard some other [songs on their] record and it’s really incredible, so yeah, we were working on a song together, we never know, where we land in, could be on their record, or mine, or somebody else’s, who knows, but it’s a GOOD song.”

Michael Warren, about who’s collaboration with Simple Plan we’ve already informed you in a couple of last posts, posted a new photo on his Twitter few days ago. The picture shows Piere and Chuck working on one of their last days writing lyrics for the new album. You can check out the photo and its description written by Michael below:

Writing with Simple Plan today. Came up with a cool song so its a good day.

Anyways, it seems like Michael Warren has worked with the SP boys at least on two songs – one in April and one now in May.

The list of names of people, who are collaborating with Simple Plan on their upcoming record, is getting larger and larger every day! David Hodges, who you may know as a ex-keyboardist and song-writer of the band Evanescence, confirmed on his Twitter that he’s working with Simple Plan.

Just finished up a song I wrote w/ @simpleplan. Hope you guys get to hear it soon.

David has already worked with many artists including Kelly Clarkson (on her single “Because Of You”), with the band Dashboard Confessional, Adam Lambert or Celine Dion.

Simple Plan work with Weezer’s lead singer!


It hasn’t been even a day since we’ve learned about another songwriter that Simple Plan are working with for the new record, and now here we have another one! This time the collaboration has been officially confirmed by Chuck Comeau himself on his Twitter:

In the presence of greatness! Working with @RiversCuomo today. Childhood idol. Weezer rules!

Yes, Simple Plan are really working with the singer, lead guitarist and song-writer of the band Weezer – Rivers Cuomo! Seems like in order to write their best record yet, Simple Plan are trying to gather as many talented song-writers as they can! If this “simple plan” worked, we should be able to find out hopefully this fall.
