PINK CREAM 69 frontman David Readman's video for the track "Don't Let It Slip Away" can be viewed below. The song comes off Readman's self-titled solo album, due on August 31 via Frontiers Records.

Best known as singer for PINK CREAM 69, David also appeared on album from ADAGIO and from studio projects such as MISSA MERCURIA and on the more recent ANDERSEN/LAINE/READMAN CD.

After David left the French power metal outfit ADAGIO in 2005, he started to gather material for a solo album which has always been his ultimate dream.

"I did a lot myself from writing the songs, to recording organizing the whole thing," says David. "Dennis Ward (David's bandmate in PINK CREAM 69) recorded the drums over two sessions and also mixed the record. If I was to thank something it would be the Internet, strange I know but without it would have taken even longer. And I wouldn't have met all the great people who played on the record, especially Paul Logue (of EDEN'S CURSE) who played bass and wrote two songs with me."

David has worked hard on the songwriting. He explains, "There are a few songs that wouldn't have made it on a PINK CREAM 69 CD because of style. With this record I was able to experiment a little. When you work this way it becomes your baby, you're making all the decisions. It's not always easy to keep a song interesting from the start to the finish. So that was a lot of work, but that's what I wanted."

Recording started during 2006, but David needed a long break (for the recording of PINK CREAM 69's latest opus, "In10sity"),so that resumed the work in February, 2007 and finally delivered the album in the spring time.

"I am very happy with the record," concludes the Burnley-born British singer. "It was a big deal for me — a real learning curve. I'm also interested to hear what the people have to say about it; I'm very inpatient."
