Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds return with new single ‘Pretty Boy’

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds today release a brand new single – ‘Pretty Boy’ – the first to be revealed from Noel’s forthcoming studio album. Listen HERE.

‘Pretty Boy’ signals the beginning of a new creative chapter. Recorded at Noel’s own studio in London, Lone Star Sound, and co-produced with Paul ‘Strangeboy’ Stacey, it also features long-time friend and collaborator Johnny Marr on guitar.  Representative of Noel’s unique exploratory approach to songwriting, the track has an evocative vocal set amongst a hypnotic bassline, driving beats, high-energy riffs and instant hook.  Matching the sonic refinement of ‘Pretty Boy’ is a striking new lyric video. Watch HERE.

Speaking about the new track, Noel says:
“For this new record it was the first thing I wrote, the first thing I demoed and the first thing I finished, so it’s only right that it’s the first thing people get to hear. Massive shout out to my mainest man Johnny Marr for taking it somewhere special. Oh … and watch out for a cameo from me in the video … first one to spot me wins a bag of Flamin’ Hot Wotsits Giants!!”

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ previous studio album Who Built The Moon?, was released in 2017, charting at Number 1 in the UK Official Albums Chart on release. Noel has remained a restless creative and followed this with a series of three critically acclaimed multi-genre EPs. June 2021 saw the release of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) – a career-defining Best Of celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ richly diverse body of work. The album marked the band’s 4th consecutive Number 1 album, and the 12th Number 1 album across Noel’s prolific career.

This winter saw Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds complete a national UK tour of outdoor shows, culminating with an epic set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ fourth studio album will be released next year, with further details to be revealed soon.
