Album production

The production of ''Accident Prone'' started in April 2005 at the Farmhouse Studios (Siggiewi, Malta). Losco said, "I enjoyed writing this album so much. Howard and I worked on it for a month, then we were off on tour for three months, which really inspired us to write the last few tracks for the album. When we came back, we went into the studio and recorded the last four songs. ''Accident Prone'' is a real account of how our lives have been these last few months!" This album is "versatile, strong and deep, revealing a more mature Ira Losco". Contribution for the production of ''Accident Prone'' came also from a series of co-writing sessions with American and Swedish songwriters.
