PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS CONVERTED 4:3 MATERIAL.  After eight years and four albums U.S. singer Gavin Degraw is calling his latest release, "Sweeter" his proudest moment in music.  SOUNDBITE: Gavin Degraw, singer, saying:  "One of the reasons is because I had the opportunity to work with people who I thought were really talented and they really keep in mind what I do. They keep my audience in mind and where I'm coming from musically ."  The ten track CD is filled with a new sound that Degraw has described as more manly and masculine.  SOUNDBITE: Gavin Degraw, singer, saying:  "This album has another element that I didn't have before, which I think is a lot - a lot more sexy and at the same time very masculine, a real, a real, manly sexuality I think is really cool on this record that didn't exist prior - with songs like the title track with "Sweeter," and a song "Radiation."  In August Degraw was attacked by three men and then hit by a taxi cab, causing a concussion and broken nose in New York City.  SOUNDBITE: Gavin Degraw, singer, saying:  "I got banged up but, the NYPD (New York City Police Department) showed up, and I got some friends and some great friends and family and fans who reached out and other artists who reached out, you know - it was really quite beautiful - that outpouring of love. At this point I'm really not sure where they're at with that. But as far as my own mind, you know, emotionally et cetera, I'm like so far past it."  Degraw will hit the road in October for a month long U.S. tour.  Alicia Powell, Reuters.
