ERIC DILL'S NEXT STEP
June 30, 2007
MIKAEL WOOD
Eric Dill may have left the Click Five, but he hasn't left his old label home. Atlantic head of A&R Andy Karp is at work with Dill—who has relocated to Los Angeles and is also acting—on a solo album Karp expects to hit stores in early 2008. "Eric's looking to go in a harder, more alternative-sounding direction," says Karp, who compares the material to fellow singer/actor Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars. So far, Dill's written with Kara DioGuardi and Dave Hodges (formerly of Evanescence), and Karp says he hopes to get Dill in the studio later this summer. As for whether the label will market Dill as a former member of the Click Five, Karp says it plans to let the music determine the approach. "Our goal is to feel as authentic as possible."
