Fall Out Boy singer to release solo album

Patrick Stump, former lead singer of Fall Out Boy, has announced the title and expected release date of his debut solo album.

The star has been working on his solo effort since the band took an indefinite hiatus last year.

"The album should be out in February," Stump revealed to MTV. "And as can be inferred from the long delay, it's changed dramatically from the album I alluded to a year ago."

As well as confirming the album's expected release timeframe, Stump also announced that the album will be called Soul Punk.

"I'll let the label decide what's a single, but 'Spotlight' will be the first Soul Punk song people will hear, and that will happen very soon," Stump added.
