"Johnny Borrell has defended his solo album&amp;#039;s poor sales. Only 594 copies of the former Razorlight frontman&amp;#039;s debut record Borrell 1 were sold in its first week of release.  Speaking to Drowned in Sound, Borrell said: &amp;quot;It is being heard and appreciated by as many people as possible! It is! If that&amp;#039;s 500 people, that&amp;#039;s 500 people. &amp;quot;If those are the 500 people that are open enough at this point in time to hear this record, f**king fantastic man.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;On a personal level, I feel like I connected with songwriting again. I would rather play to 80 people who are switched on enough, and unprejudiced enough, to get what&amp;#039;s going on with this band right now, than to play to 80,000 people who are there because that&amp;#039;s the CD that&amp;#039;s out this year or whatever.&amp;quot;      Borrell, who previously dated Kirsten Dunst, also described his former record label as &amp;quot;like a straitjacket&amp;quot; as he spoke about whether he would create music under the Razorlight name again. He said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m completely open to do whatever I want to do. But I don&amp;#039;t ever want to repeat the experience of having a band that a major label think they can make money out of; I just never want to get involved with that ever, ever, ever. So I&amp;#039;ll avoid that, but that&amp;#039;s not avoiding Razorlight.&amp;quot; Borrell&amp;#039;s record label previously described his debut solo album as &amp;quot;the 15,678th best-selling album of the year to date&amp;quot;, and also said they were &amp;quot;proud&amp;quot; and that it was &amp;quot;all to play for&amp;quot; in the album&amp;#039;s second week.
