Hot on the heels of his Gold Certified 'Born To Survive' - Best of CD & Platinum DVD Collection,Troy is set to release the first single from his highly anticipated new album, 'I Love This Place', scheduled for release April, 2009 throughTroy's new record label 'Liberation'. The driving, yet infectiously melodic 'Big, Big Love' will herald a career defining album forTroy.

There is a real energy and positive spirit generated by 'Big, Big Love' - one that sets the theme for the entire album.Troy was inspired by a text message from mate, Keith Urban.

“Keith was on cloud nine after the birth of Sunday Rose, and signed off the text with 'Big Love'. I sat down and wrote the song straight away. Love doesn't get much bigger than the love you have for your family.”
