Last month, the singer-songwriter explained that NGHFB’s fourth album has a largely “orchestral” sound. “There’s a track on the album called ‘Dead To The World’, which is one of the best songs I’ve ever written,” he said.

In a new interview with the daily starfrom the “Wired” column (via Music-News.COM), Gallagher explained how Bowie influenced an upcoming song called “Pretty Boy”.

“I used to sit up late at night doing [Bowie’s] voice, ‘If this song sounds like David Bowie, then I’m gonna sing it like David Bowie until I write it,'” he told the newspaper.

In 2020, Gallagher revealed that the song in question “sounds a lot like The Cure”.

Elsewhere in his latest “Wired” chat, the singer-songwriter described some of his new tunes as “Bowie-esque” and “Stones-y.”

Speaking about the project previously, Gallagher explained, “The whole album has a vibe. There are 10 songs and six of them have strings. When I was writing these [new] songs, I just heard strings and choirs.

He went on to say that his next record High Flying Birds “took a year to write” overall, and talked about the early positive reaction he got.

“People come into the studio and you play them the track and they’re like, ‘Holy shit! I get goosebumps listening to this,'” he said. in [it] now that it’s just a bunch of songs that i want to finish so i can write more.
