Mcfly go R&B
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 15 July 2010
McFly have apparently taken a drastic change of direction for their latest album, ditching pop rock for R&B after they hooked up with Britney Spears producer Dallas Austin, who introduced them to tequila, strip clubs and Elton John, and Taio Cruz, who just wrote some songs with the band.
McFly boy Danny Jones told The Sun: “Our influences have been people like Bruce Springsteen and The Beatles, but this time we took inspiration from artists we’d never tapped into”. On the subject of working with Austin, Danny’s co-frontman Tom Fletcher added: “Dallas introduced us to Patron tequila. He almost killed us on a couple of occasions – it’s lethal. He also really likes strip joints, so we’d hammer the tequila and then head off to these clubs. One night we ended up going round Elton John’s house in Atlanta for dinner with Dallas. It was a great time”.
The album, entitled ‘Here Comes The Storm’, is due for release in September via the band’s own Super Records label. The first single, ‘Party Girl’, will be out on 4 Sep.
