A: I think it is more diverse musically. For three years I have been making it so I have worked with so many different types of producers.
I had about 50 songs to pick from. It has elements of lots of different music. I really wanted to take the time that I took on my first album which took three years.
Q: Why did you call is Insomniac? A: All of my songs, a big percentage, I have done at night. For me night time has always been more creative so it has made me very nocturnal.
I was a hyper kid so I never slept well and with time that has gotten a lot worse. I ll go to bed at 4 or 5 or 6 in the morning. Q: You ve been linked to a list of women including Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and now you ve been with former tennis player Anna Kournikova for about five years.
Is it hard to keep your love life private? A: Yes and no. You have to look at it with a bit of humour otherwise it would affect you.
In a way I truly think it is a small price to pay for what you get in return. Singing and showbiz for me is a great job, I feel really fortunate. Q: Any plans to get married?
I think whenever you are ready you will know. It is a big responsibility and I don t feel I need to get married. The singer Enrique Iglesias told the august crowd that he isn’t yet ready to get into wedlock.
