He's absolutely positive, prepared to work like crazy (since I told him off for giving up too soon on Sons of Admirals).

We'll see how Lady Godiva does on the Official Chart tomorrow (though it's already been both No9 on the midweeks and No7 on iTunes pop) - which is not only Easter Day but his 23rd birthday.

But it's not just damn hard work he does (like the week of personal signings around the UK); he's developing brilliantly creatively; I think his next release is his best yet. He's really improved as a writer, performer and producer.

So happy birthday Alex.
