Finding Neverland
 

This is via The Graham Norton show when Harvey Weinstein was interviewed. Gary Barlow has written 16 songs and they're releasing a concept album...it will have Jessie J, Rita Ora, Jon Bon Jovi and Christina Aguilera plus "heaps more" perform the songs. For UK residents The Graham Norton show is on the iPlayer and it starts around the 24 minutes mark.

What's the concept? Is it all based on the musical, or something more/different? I'm glad to have something to look forward to.

So will this be a Gary Barlow ft Jon Bon Jovi song or have I missed the point of this? Not quite sure, sorry.

Either way, it's something new for us.

I saw Harvey on Graham Norton and noticed that comment too. From what Harvey said, Gary Barlow wrote 16 songs for the Finding Neverland album and Harvey assembled a large group of artists including JBJ to sing on the album. Nothing more was said so we don't know if Jon was involved in the writing on the song he'll sing or if it's a duet.

I know John Shanks has worked with Gary Barlow in writing/producing previous Take That albums so perhaps he was involved in making this happen.

Nice to know Jon is doing something with music again on some level. Takes some attention off of Sugar Daddy Sambora.

Here is the link:

I didn't get the impression that it was a duet.

Finding Neverland
 

According to Harvey Weinstein, a concept album for 'Finding Neverland' will feature Jon Bon Jovi singing on a track. The album was written by Gary Barlow for the musical but a variety of singers from JBJ to Jessie J and Rita Ora will sing on the concept album. You can hear Harvey talk about the album at around 25mins into Graham Norton's show (if you're in the UK).

On Iplayer now as it was on Jan 16th.

Feeling honored to have Jon Bon Jovi at @sweetsoundsnyc studios today. Good vibes and all smiles from the session today -

Grt info. Wonder what type of song he is singing. .?

1. Besides a few covers, I don't recall Jon contributing to any type of album singing someone else's writing as the sole contributor, since maybe their first album. It's going to be interesting to hear how he makes this his own. The only two I could think of....

- She Don't Know Me
- House Of Fire

2. It's time for Jon to get a new hair style. It wasn't bad at first when it was half n half but now he just looks bad. He needs to just chop it super short if he wants to look like Clooney or dump some color into it. He always looked 10 years younger now he looks 10 years older. Image has always been a big part of Rock N Roll, especially with Jon, and its time for Jon to bring it.
