Boyzone Want Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk For New Album

Boyzone really are trying to change their sound on their forthcoming album - they're considering working with dance producers.
The five-piece are writing their first album together in ten years, since reforming in 2007 and releasing the 'Back Again... No Matter What' compilation album last year.
"There are a couple of producers that I'd love to work with, in particular The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk," Boyzone singer Ronan Keating told the Daily Star.
"We did put it out there to Mark Ronson but he hasn't got back to us." Keating revealed. "It would be so cool if he did it but I don't think he will. The record company is chasing it up."
Known for their ballads, Ronan explained that their new album will see a change in style. "It's going to be a very different album and it won't be what people are expecting. It will be up-tempo and pop but not ballady."
"This album isn't going to be rushed. The problem at the moment is we're still seen as a nostalgia act because we haven't come back with a new album and made our mark yet."
In other news, Ronan is celebrating a second week at number one in the UK album charts, with his tribute record to his late mum, 'Songs For My Mother'.
