Maybe I'm a little obsessive with them but he'd do worse than giving Xenomania a call. Sigsworth is pretty good though. Do we have a potential release date?

Summer release: June/July.

Promo-wise, he should invent a slightly adrogynous fashion-crazed persona, with a funny name, like Brad Fistpack - or maybe Brad could be spun out of the porn scenes in the 'ADLIDAS' video. Then he exposes his own nipple in the video.

I know he'd like to work with the Jaxx again, but he should consider:

*Cut Copy (sunshine house-indie pop crossover, a bit like CC's own album, but with a loopy funky disco breakdown reminiscent of CC's debut EP and CC on backing vocals. JC will be as smooth as silk on this cut)
*Tomonori Hayashibe, Plus-Tech Whiz Kid (fairly zippy big beat party-rocker with thrash guitars, country music and cartoon themes battling JC for supremacy, like a drugged up 'Plug It In'. The song completely dissolves into sound madness 2 minutes in as JC screams a Princey scream that pans around the stereo for 10 seconds and then the madness starts all over again)
*Jam and Lewis (has anybody listened to Jordan Knight's 'A Different Party' lately? It's exactly the kind of party funk post-boy banders should do half the time - easily as good as 'Give It To You', no lie)
*Richard X (an insane tech r'n'b/schaffel crossover song about sex, with JC intoning stern come-ons in a scarily sped-up voice. In the call-and-response middle-8, Annie and Rachel Stevens go back and forth with Brad as he proposes a threesome. The song ends with Annie declaring "I never want to go home! I just want Brad!" (repeat "Brad!" to fade))

Why do you think he's doing another album.

He never got any mainstream press for Schizophrenic, which suprised me because of the Jaxx connection and the Timberlake connection. It was so much better than Justified (apart from Cry Me A River).

There was little to no label support behind Schizophrenic and it sounds like his 'people' uh, sucked. This album wasn't going to happen but Jive gave him a second chance on the condition that he did 'their way'.

It's kind of interesting, the only thing that we've heard about the album is that Jive is going for a commercial sound and JC thinks that it's eclectic, but everyone has different ideas of what that means.
