Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith pen songs for new Boyzone album
Boyzone are back!
The guys have been busy working on a very special 25th anniversary album, and it looks like they've enlisted the help of some very talented song writers.
During a recent interview, Shane Lynch revealed that Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith had both penned tracks for the boyband, but admitted that nothing was set in stone just yet.
He told The Sun: “We have gathered a number of tracks. We’re not finished yet, we are still harvesting. We have a track from Ed and one from Sam.”
The track that Sam’s written, I absolutely adore. I love the record so I hope it goes on the album.”
He added: “We are also dealing with some of the guys who worked recently with UK artists from Emeli Sande to Professor Green and Labrinth.”
Shane also told the newspaper that the album was due for release some time between September and February, and confirmed the band would embark on a tour next spring.
“It’s all happening. We’re recording pretty much whenever we can get to a studio.
“We are all floating around a bit doing individual projects — some in London, some in LA, Ronan is in and out of Australia.
“Nowadays recording is brilliant because you don’t actually have to be there, you can send files around the world.”
This will be the band's first release since their 20th anniversary album in 2013.
