Remember the band Nine Days? They had that one hit "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" then kind of fell off the face of the earth? Their lead singer is back with a solo album.
John Hampson is his name, and what has he been doing since Nine Days had a Top 10 hit in 2000? Well, the band actually released three full length albums. There was 2000's "The Madding Crowd" which featured "Absolutely," and the follow-up hit "If I Am." They recorded the follow-up album, "So Happily Unsatisfied," but found themselves dropped by their record label mere weeks before it was released. After a ton of legal wrangling, they wrenched the album free of their old record label, and released it themselves. They also released "Flying the Corporate Jet" in 2003, and a six song EP entitled "Slow Motion Life (Part One)" in 2007.
Lead singer John Hampson toyed with the idea of writing a solo album, while working his new job, teaching English at a Long Island high school. He finally released "Shiny New Album" in June. This is the first single off the album. It's called "How Much." Enjoy.
