I would put good money on the fact that a solo album won't materialise. I've followed James throughout the years and he has a history of announcing projects and not following though with it. He released a solo album in 2010, which was actually quite good, but only after hyping it for 2+ years and then he said there would be a second album and went on and on about how "revolutionary" it would be because he was developing a Space Travellers game on Facebook as part of it - and it never happened after years and money wasted. Then there was all the "hype" about Loserville, which had to close after 2 months in the West End. And that other musical has been in development for 6+ years now. The guy is such a disaster. Probably doesn't help that Emily fawns over him now and tells him he's great at everything.
