While The Strokes continue their hiatus (babies better than bombs?), bachelor Albert Hammond Jr has finished recording his second solo album, titled "Como Te Llama", Here's what he has to say about it:

HELLO EVERYONE,

THE NEW ALBUM IS DONE AND WE ARE WORKING ON ARTWORK RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A JUNE RELEASE PLANNED WITH NO OFFICIAL DATE YET. WE HOPE TO TOUR ALL YEAR AND COME TO EACH AND EVERYONE’S TOWN. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE SHOWN ME OVER THE PAST YEAR OR TWO. IT REALLY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. THERE ARE A LOT OF COOL THINGS I WANNA SHOW YOU BUT I HAVE TO DO IT SLOWLY AND THIS LETTER IS JUST THE BEGINNING. THE ALBUM IS CALLED "COMO TE LLAMA" AND HAS 13 SONGS ON IT. IT TOTALS 46 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS. WE HAVE A FEW TRACKS LEFT OVER FROM THE RECORDING SESSION AND A LIVE AUDIO/VIDEO FROM OUR BOWERY SHOW IN MANHATTAN. THANKS ONCE AGAIN AND I’LL PUT UP NEW PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND SONGS SOON. HAVE A NICE DAY.

LOVE, YOUR FRIEND
ALBERT
