The Malahide-bound singer has gone all-out disco with a tune that Nile Rodgers reckons is "dope"!
Yep, you read that right! Having flirted with dance on 2017’s Who Built The Moon? – overseen, of course, by Belfast maestro David Holmes – Noely G busts out his finest falsetto on a song that comes with the official Nile Rodgers seal of approval.
"It manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep and ZZ Top for fuck’s sake,” he reflects. “I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently... anyway, it's ‘dope.’ Not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!”
It’s the title-track from an EP that comes out on June 14, and in addition to two remixes features two more new songs, ‘Rattling Rose’ and ‘Sail On’.
It’ll no doubt get an airing two days later when he hits Malahide with Doves, Blossoms and DMA’s in tow. Quite what Oasis diehards make of this Studio 54-style funkiness remains to be seen...
