PRODUCERS
Boy George got in touch with Samantha Fox via Twitter when she started working on the new album. She confirmed this collaboration during live gigs and in many recent interviews, but there are no words on the title of their duet.
Ricky Wilde has been often mentioned by Sam while working on the track "Nowhere To Begin".
A meeting and recording session with Full Force was planned during last year's trip to the US, but it was eventually cancelled because of hurricane Sandy hitting the States in that very week. A collaboration for at least one song is still in talks.
Steve Strange had enthusiastic words while tweeting his fans on his collaboration with Miss Fox. It is still unknown if the artist will be involved in more tracks.
Ian Masterson is the latest producer to have joined Samantha Fox on her long awaited album. He should be in charge for the new version of "The Secret" and other brand new songs.
OTHER COLLABORATIONS
Saffron/Republica: Sam has been performing "Sex On Fire" (a cover of Kings Of Leon) with her friend Saffron on several European dates. The band's lead singer is rumored to appear on Sam's next studio album.

Steve Strange also mentioned he could be involved as a style and make-up desinger for the session.
