She's been so flat out hosting So You Think You Can Dance, fronting the Rogue Traders and touring, it's easy to forget Natalie Bassingthwaighte has been trying to squeeze in a solo album.

In a recent interview, she revealed that the music industry's worse kept secret is indeed still in the works, but it's in a lengthy queue of things to do.

"I guess it hasn't happened yet because we keep having success [with the Rogue Traders]," she told us. "It's not a a bad thing - we just keeps getting bigger and better. We're just making the most of it while it's there. It'll happen eventually at the end of the year or beginning of next."

The 32-year-old admits she started working on songs last year, but "there was just too many things going on." As for the direction the new songs will take, she ain't giving anything away.

"I'm not going to tell you," she says with a mischievious smile. "I'll get back to you at the end of the year and tell you what's going on."

Right now, the Rogues are hurtling round the country on their biggest tour to date with 31 dates booked in 35 days.

Says main man James Ash: "Basically we had a look at what Pink was doing and we thought 'we can beat that! It's a huge amount of shows so we'e going to get to see almost everyone in the country."
