Pete Doherty, most notably known as a heroin junkie, then as the singer of Babyshambles and the Libertines, apparently has been working on a solo album slated for release on March 24 via Astralwerks. The album is calledGrace/Wasteland and the NME has gotten a listen, calling it "the most diverse album Pete has made by a long stretch." Considering his four albums have jocked the Clash and the Strokes unrepentedly, that can't be too hard, I imagine. Doherty was joined in the production of the album by the guitar work of Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and the album was produced by Stephen Street, who produced Blur'sParklife, among other albums. There will be a single, called "Last Of The English Roses," out on March 2 in advance of the album, and the NME says it sounds like Gorillaz (yes!!!????).
