It's been four years since Lloyd Cele was runner-up on Idols and in August he releases his fourth album. Everything's sorted with it except minor details.

And the title.

I had a chinwag with Lloyd at Saturday's Galaxy of Stars where he performed. The variety show included a performance by former Idols and Lloyd was in the thick of things.

He told me about the album and said that he has various options for the title but hasn't decided on any of them yet.

One of his options: Shades of Grey - which immediately got me asking if it's about sex. It isn't. It's a combination of pop and RnB.

This from Lloyd about the ins-and-outs:

It's a fusion of black and white music so my style is very diverse. It's all about embracing the diversity of our culture so taking black and white and fusing them together creates grey. Pop music's associated with white and RnB with black so it's both my influences growing up because I grew up listening to a lot of RnB but now I listen to a lot of pop music so I've brought both of them together."

Therefore Shades of Grey. These are Lloyd's other options:

- Grey Matter
- Substance of Grey
- The Next Chapter

Your thoughts? My concern with Shades of Grey is that isn't Google friendly. If anyone's searching for the album title on google they're going to find lots of sex and then loads of other associated titles before getting to the album.

I like Grey Matter most - Grey Matters would also be cool.

It's made me realise how tricky it is coming up with a title ... I've been sitting here for 10 minutes and all I can come up with is Greytastic - not good I know.

Um .... okay, I'm going to brainstorm titles ... just let thoughts out and not judge them ... you do the same:

- Popping RnB
- Amazing Greys
