"Another Lonely Soul" is the second album of the Belgian band Novastar, released in 2004 by Warner Music. The album was stayed at #1 of the Flemish Ultratop album chart for six weeks and was awarded a platinum record and the TMF Award for best album. The songs "Never Back Down", "When the Light Go Down on the Broken Hearted" and "Rome" were released as singles.

In 2006, EMI released the album in all European countries. For this release, the album was supplemented with the song "Wrong", a single from the previous album "Novastar", which preceded the other songs.

Background

Singer and pianist Joost Zwegers intended to record the album in the United States, but unhappy with the way he was pushed to produce hits, he returned to Belgium. He started a collaboration with the Belgian musician Piet Goddaer (Ozark Henry) and together they wrote the songs for "Another Loney Soul". Piet Goddear also produced the album, and sings or plays instruments on several songs.

"Another Lonely Soul" has no straightforward hits, like the debut album "Novastar", but is more coherent. Joost Zwegers described "Another Loney Soul" as "more emotional and less suited for the radio" [fr icon [http://www.theticket.be/Contents.Interview.cfm?ContentsID=2179&lang=nl The Ticket : Novastar: Another Popular Soul ] ] In another interview, he tells that "Another Lonely Soul" was intended to be different from the debut, which was too poppy" [ [http://www.8weekly.nl/index.php?art=1540 8WEEKLY: Evolutie: Interview met Joost Zweegers van Novastar ] ] .
