Noel Gallagher’s new songs have ‘disco’ sound

Noel Gallagher has been writing songs that sound like "70s disco" records.
The former Oasis star has been penning new tracks for his next solo album and he has ditched the usual lyrical references and guitar chords that made him famous in favour of fresh riffs for him.
Speaking at the launch of his book ‘Any Road Will Get Us There (If We Don’t Know Where We’re Going)’ at Kings Place in London on Tuesday (23.10.18), he revealed what his new songs sound like, saying: "Well, 70s disco … like the beginning of the world."
Noel worked with producer David Holmes on his more experimental third solo studio LP ‘Who Built the Moon?’ and he is carrying on that spirit of change on his next record by looking back to friends and figures from his childhood to inspire his songs rather than look to himself.
Referring to the divide between an audience and an artist when they became super successful, he said: "No one’s ever going to make an interesting album about being a rock star living on Primrose Hill."
Noel, 51, believes the secret to his success as a solo artist is that he has scaled back his ego and learnt that he and his High Flying Birds touring band – which includes former Oasis guitarist Gem Archer and drummer Chris Sharrock – are collectively great.
He said: "I’ve often said to the people in my band, ‘None of us here are the best in the world at anything. We’re a group, we make this noise and people love it.’ For my own part in it, I’m not the best signer or guitarist but I’m the best in the world at being me, nobody can be better than me at being me. All these people have paid to see me so it’s easy, just go out and be yourself."
Speaking about what he’s enjoyed about his last tour – which has included more electronic and dance influenced songs in the set such as ‘She Taught Me How to Fly’ and ‘It’s A Beautiful World’, he added: "I don’t really move a lot on stage and there was one bit where I was in like a cage of lasers, I was like, ‘F**ing hell, this is like being in ‘Superman’, it’s amazing.’ It takes away from the fact that I don’t really do a great deal on stage but it does cost a fortune."
