Shaun Ryder has said that his upcoming solo album goes beyond his work with Happy Mondays and Black Grape.
The singer-songwriter told DS that he entered I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! to promote his current greatest hits album and his second solo LP, which will be released in May.
Asked if the as-yet-untitled release is similar to 2003's Amateur Night at the Big Top, Ryder said: "No, it's nothing like that. That first solo record... absolutely nothing like that.
"I've done this with Sunny Levine, who's produced it. Sunny and me really, really worked on the album. The songs, we took our time with them."
Quizzed as to what the songs are like, he continued: "What's it going to be like? I wouldn't like to say it's a cross between Black Grape and Mondays, it goes beyond that.
"I'm really proud of it, I'm really pleased with it. I think it's the best stuff we've done. I'd just rather you listened to it than me try to explain it."
