Music News: Elvis Blue on tour

Elvis Blue

By Clarissa du Plessis

Idols star Elvis Blue will from 10 July be touring in Cape Town. Elvis chatted to Reaction Entertainment about his music and plans for the future.

You will be embarking on a tour of the Western Cape soon. Did you ever imagine a year ago that you would be touring the province as a super-successful recording artist?

LOL... Not really.I am definitely not complaining though... I have always believed in my abilities and I have always had great hope, but I also know life doesn't always work out the way you hope. I am extremely happy that I have the opportunity to tour the most beautiful part of our country.

Which gig are you looking forward to the most?

Each gig is different... I look forward to them all.

What has the post-Idols experience been like the past couple of months?

Every person who has the opportunity to do what he love is very fortunate.I have been given this opportunity and I am vey thankful for it. The last few months have been a great adventure. 

Your self-titled album has from the start done well in the local music scene. When can we expect the next Elvis Blue album, and how would you envision the next record?

I am writing profusely and we have started pre-production on the album. I hope that we could release the new album in the first part of next year. At this stage the focus is on promoting the third single Save me we have also shot a video for this song. We are also working hard on organizing live performances countrywide.
