"In case you weren&amp;#039;t already aware, we were rather taken with Will Young&amp;#039;s latest album Echoes when it came out last year.  Fortunately, the singer has assured us that there is plenty of life left in the chart-topping record yet. We caught up with him to talk about his latest single &amp;#039;Losing Myself&amp;#039;, his plans to write a book and what he has in store for his next LP.  A lot of people seem to be liking your new single &amp;#039;Losing Myself&amp;#039;... &amp;quot;Have you seen the video? I&amp;#039;m really pleased with it. I think it&amp;#039;s really cool. I think he&amp;#039;s a really good director, Henry Schofield. He&amp;#039;s actually just coming into his own. He did that Professor Green one (&amp;#039;Read All About It&amp;#039;) which is a very different kind of video.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s a lovely video. &amp;quot;I think he&amp;#039;s really interesting. It also makes me look like I&amp;#039;m in a boyband, which I&amp;#039;d quite like. Did you notice all the guys were a lot younger than me?&amp;quot;  Were you pleased with the choice of single? &amp;quot;You get to this point where you know it&amp;#039;s not going to be a raging number one. It&amp;#039;s a different sort of thing now. I just love all the songs so I don&amp;#039;t really... I&amp;#039;ve never really had this before but I&amp;#039;d want every single one to be a single. Maybe bar like two that definitely aren&amp;#039;t singles. So I have sort of left it to the record company.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s always nice to be in that position. &amp;quot;I want to do another single. I&amp;#039;m going to do one more.&amp;quot; A lot of people seem to be keen on &amp;#039;Silent Valentine&amp;#039;; is that a contender? &amp;quot;That was what I thought could have been third single but obviously it wasn&amp;#039;t in the end. I was really pleased with the response to it after singing it on Graham Norton. I don&amp;#039;t know, I don&amp;#039;t know how it works.&amp;quot;  So the album&amp;#039;s not done yet? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think so. I think one more single. One more then I&amp;#039;m out. I want to start writing again. I actually met up with Kish Mauve the other day and we got really excited about writing a record.&amp;quot;  You&amp;#039;ve got a new B-side &amp;#039;Believe&amp;#039; on the new single; is there much unreleased material from the album? &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s not masses more. I used to write s**t-loads of drivel and throw it away. I think I&amp;#039;ve edited it down. It&amp;#039;s literally just Pascal, Richard and Kish Mauve. I don&amp;#039;t think there is masses more but I&amp;#039;m looking forward to going back. I feel like it&amp;#039;s just the beginning really. Maybe it&amp;#039;ll be a bit more soul-ey next time. I wouldn&amp;#039;t mind going a bit more soul. Cut to me in a tunic doing a classical 16th century Bard album.&amp;quot; Why not?! &amp;quot;That actually could be quite good. I think secretly I just want to wear a tunic. And to just dance around with sort of pan pipes. Accept me for what I am. A druid. A pop druid!&amp;quot;  So you&amp;#039;re going to continue with the dancier sound? When we last saw you, you told us you were talking about doing a classical album. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a different thing - that&amp;#039;s more like a project. That wouldn&amp;#039;t be like the big main album. I&amp;#039;m trying to get my head around that at the moment.&amp;quot;  It&amp;#039;s tricky one to negotiate. If you&amp;#039;re not careful it can sound a bit Casio keyboard... &amp;quot;I think it could be... I need to find the producer for that, that&amp;#039;s the key for it. It&amp;#039;s sort of turning into something. I know what will happen, I&amp;#039;ll start it and it&amp;#039;ll probably end up being the next friggin&amp;#039; album. It will start as this little project and it&amp;#039;ll become something experimental.&amp;quot;  You&amp;#039;ve been known to take long breaks between albums. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;ll be a long time. If I&amp;#039;m doing some theatre, which I still don&amp;#039;t know, then that would take me at least to the middle of next year. I want to do a bit of writing. But then I probably won&amp;#039;t have the time. I&amp;#039;m doing a book as well. That&amp;#039;s probably going to take up most of my time. Fiction or a novel? &amp;quot;No, no it&amp;#039;s all about me! It&amp;#039;s not like a biog like &amp;#039;when I was 4 I fell off a table&amp;#039; - it&amp;#039;s more, sort of, funny stories, I guess. And sad stories. I&amp;#039;m quite enjoying it. It&amp;#039;s just a really silly, funny job. Lots of very funny things happen.&amp;quot; Are you writing it with other people or do you just sit in a room by yourself? &amp;quot;No I just sit by myself, Probably not good for me &amp;#039;cos I like my own company anyway.&amp;quot; Have you become a bit of a recluse? &amp;quot;I did worry about that. Me the recluse - me and the dog - both reclused somewhere. Writing. Lots of funny things happen, like the other day I did a TV show and my introduction to begin with was, &amp;#039;it&amp;#039;s been 10 years since he won Pop Idol but it hasn&amp;#039;t been all plain sailing - he also gets depression...here&amp;#039;s Will Young&amp;#039;. That was my introduction! That&amp;#039;s f**king hysterical.&amp;quot; What programme was that on? &amp;quot;I probably shouldn&amp;#039;t say. But I changed it. I don&amp;#039;t mind talking about depression even if it is a bit of a down subject. But it&amp;#039;s probably not the best intro before I&amp;#039;m singing a song. It was so funny.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;ve been talking about gay marriage on TV a lot recently. Is it a subject you feel particularly passionate about? &amp;quot;I know all about it. God I know all about it! I know all the articles. I know European Law. I&amp;#039;m completely down with it. I didn&amp;#039;t think about gay marriage that much but now I&amp;#039;m reading what all these heathens are saying and now I&amp;#039;m actually quite activist about it! Now I&amp;#039;m quite riled about it. If you see me talking about it on television and I have a sweaty top lip or armpits then you know it&amp;#039;s going really badly.  You can get botox under your arms to stop that now. &amp;quot;I tried it. I tried it twice. It doesn&amp;#039;t work!&amp;quot; Will Young&amp;#039;s new single &amp;#039;Losing Myself&amp;#039; is out now.
