Westlife to release new album this year

Westlife have announced that they will release a new album before the end of this year.

The group posted a message on their official website, saying: "It's been a while. We have much to tell you.

"Earlier this year there was a meeting in London. Not long after that meeting, the search for new songs began. We searched far and wide.

"Our search proved to be very successful and we can't conceal our excitement any longer!

"It is our great pleasure to announce the following... there will be a new album this year.

"We are very happy with all the new songs and simply cannot wait to hear what you think of them."

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

As is the nature with albums as diverse as this in style and contributors, 'Plastic Beach' can be patchy in parts, but the sheer versatility and depth of this sprawling work are its saviours.

Beautifully recorded without taking the grit out of the songs

James Vincent McMorrow - Early in the Morning

Whether warming or giving the chills, McMorrow sounds like someone to stick with for the long haul.

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History

Once word of mouth gets around membership will swell and the Bangor lads will have to think about moving things to a much bigger venue.
