Boy George has reportedly admitted that he is working on a new album.

The 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me' singer was released from prison in May, stemming from charges that he falsely imprisoned a male escort in his Shoreditch home.

The 48-year-old musician said that he is compiling a collection of cover songs which reflect his "personal journey and experiences".

He told People: "[I'm choosing songs that] feel [as if] it was written for you and these are the songs I'm planning to record.

"I'm choosing songs that speak to me and have lyrics that reflect my personal journey and experiences."

The former Culture Club frontman, whose real name is George O'Dowd, also explained that he is utilising the internet for potential collaborators on upcoming dance track 'Yes We Can'.

He added: "I feel it's a very refreshing idea. I'm pretty excited to find artists through Talenthouse and see what people do with my song. Absolutely, I can't wait."

PR guru Max Clifford earlier said that a comeback for the singer was unlikely.
