You will all probably have received this, but for those who didn't. I have highlighted the bits which I find particularly exciting.:
"I write this short letter on a glorious 5th of April 2010 up high in the southern Spanish mountains in a studio called El Cortijo. Glorious not just because of the big wind storm whistling through the studio, but also for me because today I am a few hours away from completing the recording of ‘The Conqueror’. Me and this album have been on such a long journey together and I am so very proud and excited about its completion and release, I can't yet give away any secrets about its personality but I will of course have all the next couple of years to share this albums stories and adventures with you through concert, interview and hopefully in person.
For now all I write is that this has been the grandest production for me to date and the most intimate of my recent emotions have been expressed in the lyrics, no persona or bachelor boy aggression, all personal and conquering positively this time. Tomorrow I have a long day of travel to New York where I will be for quite some time as the last long process, mixing, takes place. Well, I guess some of you may wonder how all this travel and studio time is taking place on my little BCM label...
Well I share now some great news with you, I have recently signed a fantastic new deal with a label called 'Hideout' which is a subsidary of 'Mercury Records'. I am the first signing to this label and the two guys who run it are the lovely Keith Wozencroft and Dan Keeling... Firstly truly real humans and also supremely supportive of me staying a free spirit and an explorer. These guys are true legends in the old biz and it's a real thrill to know my work will once more be well distributed and looked after. Most importantly this new deal I signed has provided me all the creative freedoms and consents I need to do what I do and also too the finance I need to record and make my work. I'm really in a dream position creatively at the moment to make my ultimate musical and visual dreams come true. I'm hoping this will come as good news to you.
Of course I will miss our last years fighting indie spirit with Bandstocks but that good fight certainly has finished in victory... I heard that the album recently went into profit and slowly every one has started earning money from their investments in The Bachelor. I'm so happy that you all now start to get something back from your amazingly generous and loving support during such a scary time for me. I really hope that it's only just the start of it for us all. My own record label 'Bloody Chamber Music' stays alive of course, owning and releasing my back catalogue and hopefully now I can focus on breathing some life into old unrealized projects, that have had to be shelved due to finances.
Anyway, I must go. Last couple of hours in the mountains to sing my heart out until I drop. I can see eagles, sparrows, butterflies and rainbows from my vocal booth, no wonder this is Mariah Carey's studio of choice.. So much love and thanks to all of you.. I can't believe I'm reaching the grand old age of album 5. So glad to be sharing it all with you.
Here's to the future....

So he's been finishing The Conqueror in El Cortijo?!?! Wow...It's in my town, not far from Málaga. If only I had known... 
And I feel proud about him recording there, it's a big step forward. #Applause#
