In a recent interview Billboard, Bleu stated that he begun working on his follow-up album. Bleu told Billboard, "There will be a lot of differences with the second album," Bleu says, "First of all, it's just more personal. I'm involved in every aspect of the writing. As far as the direction of the music, it's very different. I wanted this album to have something that was a little bit of rock, a little bit of R&B and a little bit of pop. Producer Eric Hudson is attached to the majority of the project, along with songwriter/lyricist Claude Kelly. Bleu performed unreleased tracks like "Close", "Whatever It Takes", and "Champion" on summer concert events. The tracks are set to be in the album.
