cloud Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I found this today.. http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/mika%20to%20write%20for%20westlife_1030582 MIKA TO WRITE FOR WESTLIFE? British pop star MIKA is to write a song for Irish group WESTLIFE, according to reports. The Grace Kelly singer is allegedly helping the band with tracks for their new album in a bid to inject some "freshness" into their sound. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Mika has given pop a good kick start again in the fun department and turned around many opinions that the scene had perhaps gone a little stale. "Westlife have been around for nine years now and want to freshen up their sound so Mika is exactly the man to do that." Bandmember Mark Feehily says, "Good pop doesn't fall out of trees. Not many writers are writing for pop now." 10/05/2007 13:02 Yeah we need more of the Mika sound.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Here's a little more http://musicnews.virginmedia.com/news/?news_id=14107 Mika to pen song for Westlife? PA Entertainment Will Mika pen a track for Westlife? Mika is apparently planning to pen Irish boy band Westlife a new track. The flamboyant Grace Kelly singer, whose debut album hit the No 1 spot, is also secretly working on a number of tracks for other artists, reports the Daily Star. A source said: "Mika had given pop a good kick-start again in the fun department and turned around many opinions that the scene had perhaps gone a little stale. "Westlife have been around for nine years now and want to freshen up their sound so Mika is exactly the man to do that." Westlife's most recent record The Love Album included several covers and the group have reportedly admitted they were desperate for new ideas. Band member Mark Feehily, 25, is quoted as saying: "Our preferred choice would've been to record a new studio album. Good pop doesn't fall out of trees. Not many writers are writing for pop now."
