Fresh off a successful 10-show European tour where he "tore it up proper", Lutan Fyah is revealing he is mulling over producing yet another album.

The singer, who was born in Thompson Pen, St Catherine, and who describes himself as a 'singaholic', who is always in the studio, believes time is drawing nigh for a new body of work.

"I am thinking about putting an album together but we want to create a new vibe, so we a meds how we can come up with it," he said.

Thoughts of a new album have been inspired in part because of the way his music has impacted on the younger generation in Europe.

"When we go to the (music) festivals, we see 16-year-olds, 10-year-olds, the majority are the youth. The youth love the music," he said.

"When they organize dub-plate sessions, a some little boys you go see who own the sound systems, so I give thanks to know that the children gravitate to Lutan Fyah music."

Lutan Fyah recorded his first songs on Buju Banton's Gargamel Records and his first two albums were released by Lustre Kings and Minor 7 Flat 5. Early 2008, San Francisco's 2B1 Records released Africa, a double disc, 30-song album by the prolific singer.

The album included songs like St Jago De La Vega, Save the Juvenile and Outa Line, which are largely familiar to the sound-system audience around the world. It was released three years after Phantom War, a compilation of songs distributed by Britain's Greensleeves Records.

The former footballer-turned-singer is down to perform in California, Dominica and Suriname in the coming weeks and just recently performed in Canada.
