Tracklisting: 1. End of the World 2. Party Girl 3. iF U C Kate 4. Shine A Light (ft. Taio Cruz) 5. I'll Be Your Man 6. Nowhere Left to Run 7. I need a Woman 8. Take's the Truth 9. Take Me There 10. This Song 11. Foolish
Record Company: Island Records
Release Date: Monday 15th November 2010
McFly have enjoyed a lot of success since they hit the charts back in 2004. 6 years on the band are still enjoying their time in the limelight and delivering the hits. After briefly going independent with their fourth studio album Radio:ACTIVE. McFly have returned to their original record label Island for the release of their fifth studio album Above The Noise. For this record the band has changed tack and teamed up with Dallas Austin and Taio Cruz marking a slight change in direction and a bolder pop sound than we’ve heard previously.
Above The Noise contains 11 brand new tracks including the singles Party Girl and Shine A Light featuring Taio Cruz. The record finds the band experimenting with new sounds, allowing other songwriters to give them a hand and sporting a new look (they’re all styled as superheroes). Opening with End of the World the record soon establishes itself as a completely new proposition to previous McFly albums. The beats are strong, there’s an electro-rock feel and the vocals sound a lot smoother than we’ve heard before. This change in direction continues throughout the record with only Take Me There sounding like the band’s old material.
The album is the band’s most cohesive work to date and you can tell they’ve clearly had fun making it. From the club vibe of Party Girl through to the smoother sounds of This Song, the album takes in many musical genres and inspirations to create McFly’s strongest record to date. Across the record the band takes in blues and soul on I Need A Woman, R&B/pop lite on That’s The Truth and anthemic pop on the corking Shine A Light. The urgency of Nowhere Left To Run proves the band are capable of more adult fare whilst Foolish is an interesting blend of commercial rock/pop.
The album’s strongest moments come on the sexy I’ll Be Your Man and the 80s-Princesque rhythms of iF U C Kate. I’ll Be Your Man is one of several songs that showcases the improvement Tom has made with his vocals. Sounding smooth and reaching high notes we could only dream over he creates a sumptuous sound that perfectly complements the song’s melody. iF U C Kate takes 80s rhythms (and dare we say some dreadful lyrics) to create one of the album’s most poppy moments. We’re fairly sure the track will become a firm live favourite too.
Above The Noise is the best record that McFly have released in the 6 years they’ve been together. Finally maturing musically and moving away from the teen-pop of previous releases, the band embrace pop sensibilities to create the strongest collection of songs they’ve ever recorded. Above The Noise should be a huge seller as we approach Christmas and don’t be surprised if it spawns several hit singles."

McFly oli eilen vieraana Xtra Factorissa:

Tässä vielä yksi video Harry Potterin ensi-illasta:

Tämä on hieman vanhempi video, viime keskiviikolta, mutta löysin sen vasta nyt Youtubesta. McFly vieraana Daybreakissä:

"I'd sell my soul to the devil if I had one to give"

"MCFLY'S SATURDAY WRITE FEVER
POP scamps McFly are hoping to pen some tunes with those pop princesses The Saturdays.
And since bassist Dougie Poynter, 22, is dating Frankie Sandford, 21, it looks like it could happen.
Singer/guitarist Danny Jones, 24, told me: “I’m not sure how it would happen, but we’d probably be their band at the back and let them look good.
“We wouldn’t have the spotlight, they’d make us look awful.”
Meanwhile, the boys are top three-bound with their Taio Cruz collaboration Shine A Light."
Daily Star

"Danny from McFly reckons One Direction could be "huge"!
Well they are already, duh.
For a few weeks now we have been daring to whisper that One Direction could very likely become the biggest boy bad EVER once X Factor is over.
There are many that have dismissed our statements as the ramblings of women possessed, but we stood by our guns. We like to think that our jobs qualify us to know top notch boy band material when we see it (there are only certain forums in which we can say that out loud).
And now others are beginning to crawl from the woodwork and admit that One Direction have what it takes to be pretty spectacular, namely Danny from boy band extraordinaire McFly.
Danny McFly (that’s his surname right?) told the Metro: “They’ll be huge if they stay together. They could potentially be really big – it depends on their songs and what the chemistry is between them.
“You never know how these things will go as they’ve been put together by the X Factor, but it is very powerful.”
Well that is music to our ears. We also just a bit sick with excitement at the thought that one day One Direction and McFly could release a song together. That would be amazing. They have to do it. Oh they could do it for charity like Girls Aloud and Sugarbabes did. Right who do we need to speak phone to make this happen?"

"At last, it’s here: McFly answer YOUR (rather dull) questions
You waited and waited and waited (and waited) and waited (and waited and waited) for part 3 of our McFly series of interviews – to be known as McFly The Fan Interview; in which TT team member Jessica asked the McFly boys your questions. Now if we were a 14 year old hormonal teenage girl or boy (again) the McFly interview would’ve looked a lot more like this sexfest. Alas, you decided to ask the far less interesting but potentially less PR person fear-inducing “How do you deal with criticism?” (“sobbing into Cocopops”) “What artists did you grow up listening to?”(“mainly Geri Halliwell’s Schizophonic“) and “Can you describe yourself in two words?” (“taxi please!”).
Don’t worry though, there’s still another mediocre attempt at Bop-It, Dougie in a Bop-It rage + some good banter, a nice Junes moment, and Danny’s absolutely flabbergasted reaction at the thought of spending time with female celebrities – say it with us “females?!?!?!”.
Oh, and bad news everyone, we managed to lose the footage of Tom playing solo Bop-It which means we’re gonna need to spend *even* more time with the boys if they wanna prove they’re at least as good as The Wanted. What do you say guys? Let us know and we’ll make room in our *ahem* busy schedule.

Artikkeli, video & eilinen webchat

"McFly: One Direction are going to be massive after X Factor
Exclusive: X Factor's One Direction have received backing from yet another big British boyband – McFly – who maintain the X Factor hopefuls are 'going to be massive'.
Take That and Westlife have already announced their support for Simon Cowell's group, both saying they remind them of them in their younger days and believe the boys are going to go far thanks to Simon Cowell being their mentor.
But now the Party Girl singers, who have already been involved in rivalry with the five cheeky lads over their ladies, have said that if One Direction stick at the music game, they will definitely be in the music industry for a little while longer.
Speaking about the X Factor group to Metro.co.uk, Danny Jones from McFly, said: 'They will be huge if they stay together. They could potentially be really big.
'It depends on their songs and what the chemistry is between them, you never know how these things will go as they've been put together by the X Factor but the X Factor is very powerful.
One Direction are Cowell's last group left in the competition after F.Y.D., Diva Fever and Belle Amie all failed to win enough public votes.
They have proved incredibly popular with the ladies, often being followed by hordes of fans during rehearsals - and aged between 16 and 18, they're at their prime.
Despite this, McFly, whose latest single Shine A Light ft Taio Cruz is on sale now, say they aren't at all threatened by the lads and they'd even welcome them on a future tour with as their support act.
Continuing to praise the lads – Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – McFly have recommended they really 'go for it'.
'They could be the next boyband. If they get good songs, and I think Simon will do that, but if Simon believes in them I think they could be really big. If they just get pushed to the side and they're not really with it and they don't want to do that there just going to be, you know, sort of there.
'But if they all say "right, we want to be massive" they could be potentially big.'
While the lads may be getting behind One Direction, they agree with the bookies and admit their favourites to win the show are Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson.
McFly's new album Above The Noise is out on Monday 15th November."

Ja tässä vielä yksi video Cosmopolitan awardsin backstagelta.


Mcfly.comissa on nyt myös uusi versio Shine A Lightin musiikkivideosta, ja sinun ei tarvitse olla pioneer nähdäksesi sen. Ei kun katsomaan! :)

McFly piti eilen webchatin, joka oli vapaa kaikille. He kertoivat siinä mm. että he ovat tammi-helmikuussa 4 viikkoa Euroopassa pitämässä mm. meet & greetejä pioneereille. He vierailevat myös TV-ohjelmissa ja tekevä lehtihaastatteluita. Maaliskuussa McFlylla on Iso-Britannian areenakiertue, ja kaikki pioneerit voivat ostaa keikoille lippuja 2 päivää ennen muita. Tarkat tiedot kiertueesta tulevat myöhemmin.

"We're more interested in Harry's jumper than Harry right now
We’re going to bet that everyone reading this has said at some point today “oh my gawwwd, it is soooo cold! I swear it wasn’t this freezing yesterday! Imagine what it’s going to be like in a few weeks!” Or something along those lines, anyway.
So when we saw this picture of McFly outside ITV this morning, the first thing we were drawn to was Harry’s jumper. Mostly because it’s really quite loud, but also because it looks so snug and cosy. Perhaps he’ll let us sneak inside for a quick feel of his pecks cuddle – you know, just until we warm up?
And check out Dougie in his special jacket and Karen Millen scarf. He looks all grown up and nice, good for him.
Yeah, Tom and Danny look the same.

"Single Review: McFly ft. Taio Cruz - 'Shine A Light'
Wow, now if there was someone at the top of my imaginary list of "Possible McFly collaborators", Taio Cruz was not that someone.
But here's something interesting: of all the artists who've made comebacks this year, McFly's has been nothing short of spectacular by comparison, and despite releasing only one single so far (the still very good 'Party Girl'), they're already being talked about like they never left. They seemed to have realised that in today's fickle music industry - where music buyers can grab themselves a copy of the latest hit with the click of a button, rather than spending hours queuing up outside HMV to get a copy (resulting in people casually buying music if subject to boredom or even if they just want to support the artist) - you need to give the public more than your music.
It's a fate that Scissor Sisters fell foul to when they released their 5 star comeback single 'Fire With Fire'; they only released one trailer single after a four year hiatus and then they released their album 'Night Work', which went on to be the least successful of their career so far, selling barely 250,000 copies to date. It was inevitable even as the album hit #2 in it's first week, and it was one of the most predictable underperformances of the last decade, because they neglected the change in the music climate. Consumers don't just want an artist's music anymore - they want the artist themselves - they want to know what's going on in their love life; they want to know who's fallen out with who, who's album's sold the most, etc., etc. - and this is why Scissor Sisters underperformed upon their comeback, as did The Hoosiers, Christina Aguilera, Amy MacDonald, and Mika, as well as others. Thanks to the sudden surge in the popularity of reality TV and the coining of the "tabloid popstars" - who are more than willing to let the music sell off the back of their popularity - humble artists, or those with little to say or those who let the music do the talking, are often ignored. The fact the people are reluctant to search outside of radio playlists doesn't help either.
As I said, McFly were attuned to this little fact, and so have provided many a chance for fans to get extra little nuggets of gossip about them; they've performed on high profile shows, been invited into the Live Lounge, and even posed naked for an edition of Attitude Magazine. And more recently, McFly have given their fans the chance to watch a live stream of the video shoot for 'Shine A Light' from beginning to completion.
All this has kept them in the spotlight of media, public and social networking conversation, but thankfully, they haven't comprised to quality of their music during the whole of their career.
And if all that wasn't enough to secure them another hit upon their return to the UK Charts, they've only gone a collaborated with the hottest UK producer de jour, Taio Cruz, who probably has the ability to make a hit out of a bar of soap, a lettuce leaf and a plunger if he put his mind to it. So the finished result is 'Shine A Light', a mid-tempo electro-ballad with an absolute corker of a chorus.
Whilst I'm not falling over myself with joy at the fact Taio has "Eh"-ified the McFly boys, or the fact they're playing their instruments in the video when the track is 95% synthesised, I find the light, cheery production very hard not to like. In that way it's similar to Alexandra's 'Start Without You', with much less of a 'guilty pleasures' tag. Even though it discusses a man's (or men's) heartbreak, it's surprisingly happy, and that's just the a bassline in the introduction.
At first, the vocals do seem to pull a bit of a 'Teenage Dream' too, starting of in a dainty falsetto kindly provided by Tom, backed up with a soft instrumental production, before things really take off when Danny takes over for the bridge, which wastes no time in getting onto the super-catchy, super-radio-friendly chorus which is sung by a much more human-sounding Taio Cruz, which is a pleasant surprise after the heavily edited vocals he displayed on 'Dynamite'. However, my main gripe is that if this is overplayed, it will lose it's appeal very quickly, as there are time when you feel it's overplayed before the end of your first listen.
The video is alright. It's nothing special, and Taio's still wearing his shades indoors. Silly thing. And is that a car crash he's standing in front of?
Oh Ma Gawd! Those backing dancers have clearly nicked the choreography from HURTS' 'Wonderful Life' video. -Evils.
It does baffle me though, that the song is of such lightweight nature and sound after the deliciously dark and heavily instrumented 'Party Girl'. But this could either be a good thing because it shows the two different sides to their new album, or it could be bad because it advertises an album of randomly listed tracks with no cohesion between them. As for me, I'm more than happy to continue to accept this new sound for McFly, so I'm still anticipating buying my first McFly album, and even though I'm not Taio's biggest fan, I can only commend his efforts on this track.
