Caroline Corr will pen girlband's debut 16 Jun 2009 By Melanie Finn Caroline Corr is going to be making beautiful music with Louis Walsh's new girlband. She is reported to have agreed to help the group in their bid for stardom and has set her mind to writing their first single. Louis approached her weeks ago to help out his sexy fivesome as they set their sights on becoming the new Girls Aloud. Unleashing And this week, Caroline has confirmed that she would love to help them out by penning them a funky pop song. "Caroline has a proven track record in the music industry and knows exactly what it takes to make a hit record. Louis is delighted that she has agreed to help out his new band. He's taking his time with them as he wants to get everything right before unleashing them on the market," said an insider. Although they were formed last year following a national search, the fivesome have yet to release any new music. Made up of band members Kasey Smith, Corina Duran, Sharon Condon, Jodi Albert and Leanne Moore, the girls got a considerable boost recently after being signed up to Universal, the same label as U2. The five aspiring stars were all so surprised after being offered the deal by top music execs in London that they instantly burst into tears, says Louis. The girls have already made their debut performance on TV after appearing on the Late Late Show shortly before Christmas, but have kept a low profile since. Honymoon The band members were all invited to Barbados last month to see Jodi Albert tie the knot with Westlife star Kian Egan, who co-manages the band with Louis. But they were so determined to start work on building the band, and ensuring they get their sound and look just right, that the couple flew back early from their honeymoon to concentrate on the group. - Melanie Finn Credit/Source: www.herald.ie and www.westlife.gr

Louis' Girls Told To Sex It Up 05 Jul 2009 by Villy Louis Walsh's new girlband have been told to sex things up if they want to knock Girls Aloud off the top of the charts. Kian Egan's wife Jodi Albert (25), You're A Star runner-up Sharon Condon (23) and newbies Corrina Durran (22), Leigh Learmont (19) and Kasey Smith (19) may have bagged a place in the new group but the unnamed band have been told to raunch up their image. Speaking to Scandal, Louis Walsh said: "Girls Aloud are the front runners and they are top of the charts. "But my girls have real raw talent and I think they can be bigger. "They are coming up with a name but what is more important is the image and I think with work they can be hotter and sexier than them." Credit/Source: Star Sunday

He has been recruited by Simon Cowell's record label Syco to write for its stable of artists of which Westlife is the biggest act. Hayes is also working on a new solo album. “I have been told I need to clarify my record is probably more `classic' pop than `pop with a capital p', for fear of people expecting (Lady) Gaga,'' Hayes stated. His longtime musical partner Rob Conley recently went to London to write with Hayes. Conley has teamed with ex Westlife member Brian McFadden for their new electro project Wall of Soundz.

Louis also said that while he met up with Simon Cowell they jointly managed to mastermind Westlife's comeback. At the time three songs had already been chosen which he believes will be big hits when they are released by the boy band. There have been claims that with Robbie Williams also making a comeback as well as a new album this year the former Take That star could face some competition with Westlife, however Walsh has backed these claims and added that Westlife are not so worried because they reckon they could outsell him anyday. So while Kian Egan swaps vows with his now wife Jodi Albert, Westlife will be revealing their 2010 tour dates with two new dates in Croke Park on their minds. In total the band plans to play 70 concerts coming towards the end of the year including 8 dates at Dublin's 02 arena and other huge venues across Ireland, the United Kingdom and other countries. Shane Filan told the Irish Mirror that they plan on coming back with a bang and they want to make the next album one of their best. It has also been revealed by the Irish Evening Herald that Louis Walsh's new girlband, which includes Kian's wife Jodi Albert, will be supporting Westlife when they return to the international stage in late 2009. It has been planned that when Westlife play more dates at Croke Park the new girlband will be the support act for at least one of the shows so that they will be able to get a taste of what it is like to play in such a major venue. Louis has confirmed that his band touring with Westlife is definitely on the cards. The recording process of their tenth album started on 2009 July 1. Nicky said that there will be many first time producers and writers for the upcoming album.

Another song has been found for them was entitled "Leaving".On the latest, there are already prepared 5 songs given by Simon Cowell for them to record.

"Departure" means something different and surprising! *********** Capital FM in UK said that Westlife will release their new single on September! *********** NO MORE COVERS 05 Aug 2009 Stocking stuff... Westlife's Shane Filan is looking forward to the band's new album at Christmast. The singer has promised it won't contain a single cover version. Gulp... WESTLIFE VOW LATEST ALBUM WILL BE 100% NEW MATERIAL EXCLUSIVE by Paul Martin Westlife have promised fans their new album will have no cover versions as they bid to launch the ultimate pop comeback. The stars - who have topped the charts with their versions of songs such as Mandy, Uptown Girl and Against All Odds - have given the first insight into their new material to the Irish Daily Mirror. Singer Shane Filan revealed: "The album will have no covers at all - we want it to be our strongest ever. We're working on it in the studios at the minute and it's really exciting. We took a decision that we didn't want to do any covers at all this time round and give the fans 100% new material. "We know this has to be something special because we have been away for over a year. I think everyone is going to be really surprised when they hear it." Westlife first released a cover in 1999 when their version of Abba's I Have A Dream scooped them the Christmas and new Millennium No.1 slot. In 2000, they teamed up with Mariah Carey to release a cover of Phill Collins' Against All Odds, which secured them a world wide No1. A year later, their cover of Billy Joel's 1983 hit Uptown Girl secured them another top spot before they released a version of little-known Northern Ireland band Relish's Hey Whatever. Barry Manilow's Mandy notched them up another hit in 2003 before their monster anthem You Raise Me Up also went to No1. Shane added: "We always prefer to release new material but we never had the luxury of a Gary Barlow-type song writer. "But we're lucky to be working with some amazing writers and I'm sure this album is going to bring us back with a band. "We want great up-tempo songs and some really strong ballads. That's what we made our name with and that's what we want to do again. "The plan is to release the album before Christmas and then hit the road for a tour next year."

The boys had planned to jet to LA and Nashville last month to start work on their 11th studio album. But they deferred the move as band member Kian Egan's ill dad Kevin took a turn for the worse - and sadly died last month. "They gave Kian as much time as he needed to spend with his family," a source revealed. "They felt they'd taken a year out, so a few more weeks wouldn't matter, but it was important for Kian." The crooners got down to work on their new album yesterday after jetting over to a London studio. "They're enthusiastic about getting back to work and they have lots of new plans," said a source. "All they're concentrating on now is finding the right songs and they'll be going to the US shortly to work with different producers." Show Westlife took an extended break shortly after their sell-out Croker show on June 1last year. But Nicky Byrne recently revealed the boys are brimming with ideas for a new album of original songs. "It feels fresh - like we're starting all over again," he said.
