lifestyle THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 2017 GOSSIP Ricky Wilson's pop concerns icky Wilson worries Kaiser Chiefs fans were "scared off" by ber our ethos ... When we wrote our first record, all we wanted to do their last album because it was more a pop record. The 'Ruby' was to play festivals where everyone remembered us. To do that we Rhitmakers love experimenting with different sounds and had to write what sounded to us like instant hits. "I think somewhere approaches to recording, but the 38-year-old singer admitted some along the way of our career we forgot this is what we love doing. So of their loyal supporters were not thrilled by their October 2016 LP on this record we've gone back to writing songs that when people 'Stay Together' which they made with producer Brian Higgins, hear them for the first time they go, 'I know this and I am enjoying it famous for his Xenomania production group that created hits for the and don't care who the band is. I like it.'" Meanwhile, Ricky admits likes of Girls Aloud, S Club and The Saturdays. Speaking to Closer that he thinks the reason Kaiser Chiefs are still going strong after a magazine, he said: "We're in the studio recording and I think there is decade of making music, is simply because they "have fun". The for- a lot more to come from us. We're always working on new music and mer 'Voice' coach said: "We just enjoy it and have fun together. And we've made every record in a different way. I did think we might nothing actually catastrophic has happened to us. We've done all have scared off some of our fans with the pop feel of the last album, right and we are still here and that's how we will continue. Just see- 'Stay Together'." Ricky previously revealed he thought 'Stay Together' ing what comes next." was full of "instant hits", like 'Parachute' and 'Hole In My Soul', and he felt they were being true to their original "ethos". He said: "We weren't into making a guitar record this time. We wanted to remem- Fall Out Boy want to reach lost young people with their new album he US rockers will release their seventh LP, 'Mania', next month and bassist Pete Wentz is hoping the Tsongs will help "kids" who are looking to "figure themselves out" and let them believe they can fit the world around themselves. He said: "The world can be a big lonely place, especially for kids who are trying to figure them- selves out. I think sometimes we can forget that... that's who Mania is meant to speak to. That's who I want to reach. I don't think that kids should feel like they need to adjust their empathy or selves to the world - I'd rather give them the belief that they can adjust the world to fit their empathy." Pete also promised the EDM-influenced 'Young and Menace' isn't indicative of the album as a whole, but the song offered them the chance to do a "hard restart" and do something completely different. He told Rolling Stone magazine: "It feels like every once in a while, you've gotta do a hard restart that clears the cache and erases the hard drive. "I think that's what 'Young and Menace' was - a big palette cleanse. I think it gave us the space to create something brand new." Pete believe it is important for the band to continue to evolve, rather than just making music that sounds like fan-pleasing classic work. He said: "I think we have to just move forward - that's the goal of us (I don't mean the band; I mean humans) - we just need to evolve. "No one wants to be who they were two years ago or 10 years ago... it's great to have that snapshot, but it's time to hang up your hat when you think your glory days are Busted pick Mark Ronson behind you.
