Mark Feehily: Westlife didn't want to release 'Rat Pack' album

Mark Feehily wants to "forget" about Westlife's ‘Rat Pack’ album 'Allow Us To Be Frank'.

The 29-year-old singer admits the band didn’t want to release the LP – featuring covers of classic swing tracks – but insists their record company thought it would be a good idea after seeing the success of Robbie Williams’ ‘Swing when You’re Winning’.

He said: “That was a weird time in our career, really. I’m not making excuses for it, but Brian McFadden had just left. We kind of didn’t know what to do… Everyone was a bit like, ‘Well this can’t be some kind of mediocre pop album’, and you know Robbie had just gone out with his and when we heard the idea first, we were just like, ‘Well Robbie’s just done this, why don’t we just come up with our own little twist instead of doing something like that?’ "

Mark said by the time they'd spent six months promoting the album, he was completely sick of it.

He said: "We eventually bought into it... but obviously you have to promote for six months and then you tour and stuff, so by the end of the tour we were ready to put that one behind us."

Westlife talk us through their new album Where We Are track-by-track

Westlife have been talking to us exclusively about their eagerly-awaited album Where We Are - and revealing what they did on their year off, before they got back into the studio to record the new record.
The band's Nicky Byrne explained: "It's great to be back. We talked about a year off for a long time. We did things we all wanted to do - we travelled, we spent time at home.
"We also needed to refresh our heads, we needed to get away from each other. We needed to miss it again."
Mark Feehilly that they had also taken time to develop their sound.



He explained: "We wanted to make the production better, to have the vocals as good as we knew they could be, we wanted a variety of sound, not have every song sound the same...luckily, we pulled it off. We're really proud.
"We didn't want to change who we are, just do it better than we'd been doing it."
They also revealed that their manager, X Factor judge Louis Walsh, and fellow judge and label boss Simon Cowell were "really excited" about the album - and that they'd roped in former All Saints star Shaznay Lewis to co-write one of the tracks on the new record.
Where We Are, featuring hit single What About Now, which the band played on the X Factor, is in the shops now.

A message from Mark!

30.11.2009

Hi guys,

Today is a MASSIVE day for us four boys...all the waiting, singing, preparing, promotion, commotion, revolve around one thing, our NEW ALBUM, WHERE WE ARE! The fact that it’s OUT NOW (AS IN TODAY!!!) is highly exciting! The single is one thing but the fact that the entire collection of 12 brand new ORIGINAL songs are out there being heard all at once is huuuge for us! Go get the album, give it a listen, who knows ya might even like it! Seriously though, thanks to anyone who’s got it or is going to get it, we appreciate your support more than ever!

Lots of love,

See you soon,

Mark xx
