April 5, 2008 - PRLog -- Album 12 - WAR NO MORE - by Sean Wright was released at the end of March 2008, heralding Wright's remarkable achievement of writing, recording and releasing 12 albums in 12 months.

"War No More is a very special album," Wright said. "It's my first album that carries a strong anti-war motif throughout. It tells a story that switches narrative, from my strong personal views to the wider perspective of my alter-ego Jimmy, who appears in many of my songs. It completes a very traumatic and paradoxically creative year. It culminated with the loss of my father to cancer on the eve of the album's completion, as well as working with the innovative production genius of Mark Tinley (Duran Duran, Adamski, Dandy Warhols)."

Wright’s album-a-month project continues to attract a huge fan-base, including many successful music industry names.

"I'm completely blown away by your Album-A-Month project! That's amazing!!! I'm listening to some songs on the music player now... REALLY impressive! I look foward to spending more time listening and following your progress," Swapmeet Louie, guitarist and keyboard player for Bo Bice.

Top producer, Roman Klun, said of Sean Wright’s project, “all sounds and feels good.’ Klun is the award-winning record producer, music engineer and singer/songwriter who worked on Sarah McLachlan's Grammy nominated and Juno Award winning record "Afterglow."

Enigmatic producer and songwriter, Alexander Nevermind (aka La Tour and other pen names) has also spoken out about Wright's songwriting, saying: "An album a month sounds like a prolifically creative individual... love your music and your work ethic... "

The legendary American harmonica player, Jimmy Z, has said that Wright's music "sounds great." Jimmy Z has worked both live and on albums with Rod Stewart, Pink, Dr. Dre, Tom Petty, and the Eurythmics. Dave Stewart calls Jimmy 'the best harmonica player in the world.'

"Love your stuff Baby. Blaze-on!" Dana Gaynor, top US guitar player, who’s worked with John Lee Hooker, Buddy Miles and many others.

"Wow! Guess you can write!!! I am not that fast- my lyrics take me weeks but love your classic rock feel," Alana Grace, singer-songwriter with Colombia Records

"Great music. You've a wonderful voice," Betsy Hammer, American singer, songwriter and actress - who's worked with Neil Young, Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken and many others.

"KUDOS! I love what you're doing and I love how you're doing it. We will be keeping tabs on you and your progress, but I'm thinking that when the 12-months are done, you're going to be sitting on 144 of the best songs in a long long time..." Dan Nash, Just Great Management.

Asia's biggest pop icon, Najam Sheraz, calls Wright's songwriting "awesome!" Wright and Sheraz began a music collaboration in May 2007, writing new material for a future album project. They played together in July 2007 at the historical Pakistani Festival Trafalgar Square, London. The festival marked the 60th Anniversary of Independence for Pakistan, and as well being watched by a 12,000 crowd, it was aired to millions worldwide by GEO TV.

Wright began his album-a-month project back in April 2007 and so far he hasn't stopped. When asked if there would be an album #13, Wright said: "Yes. At the end of April 2008, I'll delivery my 13th album in as many months. It's dedicated to my father, John Wright, and it's called Legend."
