McFly are releasing new single this month

McFly are releasing a new single later this month.

The ‘All About You’ hitmakers have been working hard on their first album since 2010’s ‘Above The Noise’ – having dropped 13 previously unheard demos named ‘The Lost Songs’ over several weeks late last year – and now they’re poised to unveil some fresh material.

Danny Jones said: "There’s that hands-in-the-air feeling about it, like when you’re drunk or you’re having a barbecue.

"You can put it on and your kids will dance to it, your wife will dance to it, your granddad, everybody.

"Even the lads can get involved, the football crowd. I could really hear it on the ‘Fifa’ soundtrack."

The ‘Five Colours In Her Hair’ band – completed by Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Harry Styles – have been working on the upcoming full lengthy LP, and they’ve channelled a Britpop sound on the new tunes.

Dougie told the BBC: "There was something special about Britpop back in the day.

"They were amazing songs but you had bands like Blur who could jump genres – from ‘Song 2’ being super rocky and crazy, to something weird like Parklife.

"There were no boundaries and that’s what we wanted – to go off in different directions depending on what we were feeling that day."

Creatively, McFly – who have signed their first record deal since 2009 after inking a contract with BMG – have been more "collaborative" than ever before after reuniting and overcoming behind the scenes issues between the quartet.

Danny added: "That process, of allowing your brain to come alive and creating a song from nothing – that’s amazing.

"It’s the first time I feel like we’ve all been part of it. We were all involved, split down the middle, and it was just such a collaborative, energetic process."
