Album info, press stuff, and tons of links
So, our lads have been very busy promoting their new stuff to the media. So far, the reception has been good. It sounds like the new mcfly album will shock everyone, fans and haters. If you’ve heard Party Girl, I think you’ll understand. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? Go to our previous post and take a listen (and replay it).
There has been too many articles in the interwebs about McFly’s album and project.
Most of our updates will be posted on twitter before this site, so for more up-to-date info (because you know how McFly like, they love giving us surprises), follow our twitter: @McFLY_United.
I post the links at the bottom of this post, but here’s a recap:
- They have a song called Shine A Light, produced by Taio Cruz. According to the reviews, this song could possibly be their second single. (The first is of course Party Girl). According to Daily Star, Shine A Light shows their sensitive side, singing over club beats: “She left me with a broken heart. She took the light and left me in the dark.”
- They have co-written another song called I’ll Be Your Man with Taio Cruz.
- Another song called Nowhere Left To Run has scintillating synths layered over sharp beats (Daily Star).
-
McFly has signed a shared-profit deal with Island/Universal.
It’s an all-encompassing deal – touring, record sales, merchandise, sponsorship, everything except publishing – which sees the band/management and record company divvy up money equally.
- NewsbeatI think this will help their promotion and distribution greatly.
- Party Girl will be released on September 5th (physical single will be available on September 6th) in UK.
- The video of Party Girl will be 30 minutes long. That’s what they said on radio one.
- Album will be released before Christmas, most likely around November. The album has already been named (according to Tom in InDemand), but they haven’t told anyone.
- They’ll do small UK gigs before Christmas, then a world tour next year.
-
Super City will be launched on October. Here’s a bit of description from EntertainmentWise:
What else have they got going on? Well a brand new super site, a website like you’ve never seen before which allows you into each of their ‘bedrooms’ (we had a poke around all of them with Dougie’s help) and also allows you to earn points which equate to amazing real life opportunities with the band.
And from Newsbeat:
It’s a subscription-based website aimed at enticing fans to spend money on the band via different means all hosted online.
Fans will have the chance to get new music first, accrue points for rewards and interact with their favourite members.
- They’ve been working out and they are looking FIT. Okay thanks.

Party Girl has been added to McFly’s Myspace Playlist.
The 30 minutes clip will be a short film and not just a music video (according to Tom).
Don’t forget that McFly will perform in Summerlive Festival on Aug 28th. You can get tickets here.
ETA (July 17th 2010):
NYPost wrote an article about McFly’s new sound! Harry tweeted the link, but some said it didn’t work, so here it is: America needs more McFly. There’s an incorrect detail, but overall I think it’s amazing that McFly gets some coverage in the US. (:
Here’s a bit of the article
Well today marks the day McFly begins their aggressive American assault and I’m happy to let them surmount me. You know … musically.
More specifically, their new single “Party Girl ” (co-written with R&B songwriter/producer Dallas Austin) is sure to pound the walls off every tween bedroom from here to Texarkana.
