O-Town Readying Second Album For July Release

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - O-Town will return with a follow-up to its double-platinum, self-titled debut album in July, according to the group's J Records label. The first single from the as-yet-untitled album was produced by multiplatinum rapper Nelly. O-Town's debut set spawned the hit singles "Liquid Dreams," "All Or Nothing," and "We Fit Together."

O-Town singer Dan Miller told that the group, which came together on the reality-television show Making The Band, has learned a lot about the music business since the release of its 2001 debut album. "Everyday we just want to turn a couple of heads," he said. "There are always going to be critics--always going to be critics--that are out there, because that's their job, but I definitely think we've won a couple of critics over. That's our biggest defense is our live show. That's really, like, our biggest defense to the critics. They'll continue to be out there, but we'll just continue to do our music and do what we love."

O-Town is expected to announce details about a summer concert tour shortly.

May 3 - West Palm Beach, FL - SunFest
May 15 - Poughkeepsie, NY - Mid-Hudson Civic Center
