Westlife

Westlife have been out of the public eye for a little while now, and they've changed during their time away. It's as poetic as the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly, except Westlife don't do colourful wings, they do exquisitely tailored matching suits.

But seriously, Mark, Shane, Kian and the other blonde one went away and came back...as Take That. Yep, the boys went away, had a good hard think about their musical direction and decided to copy Gary Barlow's 'man band' template. In live performances of the song, they've even ditched their trademark sit-on-stools and stand-for-the-key-change approach.

In honour of Westlife successfully reinventing themselves as Take That, I've rewritten portions of the press release:

Produced by long term collaborator Steve Robson, ‘What About Now’ is the first taster of the band’s brand new Take That's sound. Although instantly recognisable as a Westlife Take That classic, complete with soaring melodies and rousing lyrics, the track injects an undeniably fresh production; bound to delight Westlife fans and pop enthusiasts alike. The single will be available to download on October 25th, with physical release following on October 26th.
