Reflecting on the new song, the band says; Its been a tough 18 months for us all, we hope A Little Saving offers a virtual hug to our fans and to anyone who might be feeling a bit helpless or alone. We consider ourselves extremely privileged to do what we do, but at times life in our industry can feel isolating and difficult. Since the early days of Boyzone and Westlife the fans have offered us the most incredibly supportive community – weve always felt we can be really open about how were feeling and we hope that by opening up and having conversations about mental health, others feel they can do the same and feel the support weve been lucky to have. This is something that is becoming very apparent in the world that we’re living in today, especially in young men where suicide rates are through the roof. It’s important nowadays to be able to take away any stigma when it comes to speaking out about any type of mental health problems that you might have. Mental health issues are often invisible, as artists we want to support conversations that have the power to change lives.
Influenced by the music the duo grew up listening to, Boyzlife introduced the upcoming album at the end of last year with the single ‘The One’ – co-written by Brian and legendary songwriter Guy Chambers (Robin Williams, Kylie Minogue, Rufus Wainwright), with production by rising producer Jackson – who has honed his skills engineering and programming for the likes of Shawn Mendes and The Libertines. The One marked a shift into original material and showed the bands new aesthetic vision through the single 80s influenced sound and neon-drenched video. Whilst latest single ‘Burn For You’ confirmed the duo’s writing abilities – written by Brian, Keith and their producer Jackson with guitars by Mac Douglas (Emeli Sandé, Jessie J), Burn For You, is a 90s-inspired power ballad with contemporary pop production.
In between tour dates Boyzlife have been busy in the studio writing and creating new music, with the first album details being revealed, Brian gives a glimpse into what fans can expect from their studio sessions; Keith and I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the sound of that era is what made us want to be musicians in the first place. When we first started talking about making this record as Boyzlifes first studio album, we naturally talked about those influences a lot and have loved bringing these familiar sounds into our studio sessions and onto this record.
They continue: Working with our producer Jackson has been an extremely creative process, we went into the studio with lyrics ideas, worked together to find a melodic sound to go with the lyrics and built the songs from there. Some things just fit into place and others get chopped and changed until we all agree we are on the right track. We are very excited about this album and can’t wait for people to hear it.
