Former Creed lead singer Scott Stapp is holed up in a studio working on a new solo album planned for release sometime next year.

According to Stapp's Myspace page, the album will coincide with the release of a documentary about him.

"I am so pumped about what is to come and this chapter in our relationship," Stapp wrote in his most recent MySpace blog entry. "I think you will love the new music and the new band. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"

Stapp, who's working with guitarist John Curry on the record, added more info in another post.

"Pouring myself into the music during the rough times in my life has brought something back to my songwriting that as a developing songwriter I could not hear and was not aware of as I was writing it - Even though I am still working on finishing the demos - I believe the legion of CREED fans and SCOTTSTAPP fans will hear and feel real honesty and passion in every TRACK.

"The band describes the album as, 'The perfect expression of the last 4 years with a heavier edge, deeper grooves, and chill songs that even give US the chills - I am feeling the actual emotion in my life and it is being captured as I experience it on each song."

Stapp then goes on a bit about God and praying for sunrise.

Stapp has had his share of problems in recent years, including being arrested and charged with assault related to a domestic violence incident in Florida in May. He released his The Great Divide solo debut following Creed's break-up in 2004.
