It's been three years since the last record 'Sneakers On A Telephone Wire'. Last year, MB released a Best Of compilation. A full length album may be in the works but for now MB is planning on releasing an EP. "I've been growing on the recent ideas of GaGa and Robyn and I think a half dozen songs are easier to compile than 16 tracks. Easier to handle and get to know and in the era of iTunes, it's more about the song now. Not the album. I still love the concept of the album but the way I listen to music now is all about the shorter duration."
Not much else is known about the upcoming songs but MB has said that his most recent recording Professional Years was a segway into what his next steps would be. No dates or anything are being revealed either. An EP maybe in early 2011 and a new single in the fall.

MB channels GaGa on new album
MB is nearly complete his newest as-yet-untitled album and says that it channels electro-pop sounds like that of Lady GaGa and Robyn. The record, like recent releases by GaGa and Robyn, isn't a full-length album but an EP that will contain at least 6 tracks. "It just makes sense nowadays," says the singer. "People are more into individual songs and I think making shorter records more often than a full-length album every few years keeps things fresh. I still fully support and love full records but my attention span for myself says to keep it short." Unlike past recordings from MB, this time around he fully embraces the latest trends in pop music. "Lady GaGa was definitely my biggest inspiration this time around. I was obsessed with The Fame Monster earlier this year and decided I need to make my own version of that." He also says the songs take a much less serious approach of songwriting. MB, who's known for writing personal events, has decided to try something new to match the style of music. Some song titles being thrown around include a mid-tempo song called Playlist as well as One Hit Wonder, a rap song in the same vain as Billionaire by Travie McCoy. The album also has no release date but MB says it will quickly follow the first single which he hopes will be out within a few weeks.
