Ronan Keating to revisit “proper pop”
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 July 2012
Well, this is a devastating anti-climax. Having previously piqued fans’ interest with the half-promise that his new solo LP ‘Fires’ would embrace a “folk feel”, ex Boyzone philanderer Ronan Keating has now said it’s actually going to sound like the “proper pop” of his millennial smash, ‘Life Is A Rollercoaster’.
“It’s is back to proper pop again”, said Keating of the album – which is to be his first non-covers collection in five years – adding: “I’ve been working with the guys behind ‘Life Is A Rollercoaster’ again. I’ve been spending my time getting this album just right and I’m excited about people hearing it”.
I’m just going to make the rash assumption that by ‘the guys’, Ronan is referring to Gregg Alexander (of ‘You Get What You Give’ hitmakers New Radicals) and/or songwriter Rick Nowels, who penned ‘Rollercoaster’ back in the year 2000. But then again, one should never assume, especially not where Ronan Keating is concerned.
Anyway. Ronan’s new single and the LP’s title track ‘Fires’ has its on-air premiere today, so listen out for it on Radio 2. Or, don’t. ‘Fires’ the long player is out on 3 Sep.
