Gavin DeGraw Previews Next Album

Gavin DeGraw is working on his next record, and he's working to top his last effort. DeGraw's last album Chariot, has been certified platinum for sales of one million units, and his single "I Don't Want To Be" has been certified double platinum.

DeGraw was recently at the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in New York City, and we caught up with him and found out about where he's at with the next record.

"I don't have a release date. I'm still writing it. So I'm writing the last three songs in the repertoire for the album."

We then asked Gavin what he thought the biggest obstacle has been so far in getting the new effort done.

"The biggest obstacle in getting it done is trying to honor the fanbase that you picked up along the way with the first album and satisfy them, while you are trying to attract a new group of people to get into your music. It's a marriage involved, you know?"

"Chariot" has recently been released in the U.K. DeGraw, is scheduled to play Shepherd's Bush on August 18.

I saw him open for Modest Mouse in Nashville about a year and a half ago, and I was pretty disappointed, but then again, the guy does have some catchy music.

I think that he's the most talented music artist out there. I love his music and enjoy listing to his voice. I can't wait till he comes out with his next album, I know it will be great.
