Danny Jones has confirmed the release of a new McFly album later this year.

 

The singer-guitarist told BBC Newsbeat that the group have been working with a number of collaborators on the record.

 

Jones said: "A McFly album will be coming soon, I don't know when. We think late summer-ish. It's all in talk at the minute, it's very exciting for us.

 

"We've been writing with the likes of Dallas Austin, who did TLC, Pink, Monica, worked with Anastasia, Katy Perry."

 

He added: "So it's really interesting for us to work with that sort of partnership because we've never done it before.

 

"We could be the safe McFly and write the songs we do and keep being safe but then we want to take it to that next step and be more adventurous. So that's what we're doing this year."

 

McFly's frontman Tom Fletcher has promised that the follow-up to 2008's Radio:ACTIVE will "blow you away".

McFly star Danny Jones has revealed that the band's new album is influenced by Prince and Michael Jackson.

 

Jones, who was voted off Popstar To Operastar last night, told the Daily Star that the album is "killer".

 

"We've got the material and are building up the McFly massacre," he said. "The album's an absolute killer. It's got a Prince and Michael Jackson influence."

 

Jones added that the group are working with Taio Cruz and American producer Dallas Austin on the record.

 

"Taio's a really cool guy," Jones explained. "We've written tracks with him and we're now trying to get him to produce one.

 

"It was awesome working with Dallas as he's a bit of a party boy - he thinks he's our fifth member. He's coming over to the UK to produce four or five of our songs
