Pet Shop Boys have said they have collaborated with Noel Gallagher on a remix of a new NGHFB‘ song.
Pet Shop Boys have announced an exciting collaboration with Noel Gallagher.
The iconic duo revealed they have remixed a track from Gallagher’s upcoming album Council Skies, recorded with his band High Flying Birds.
Speaking to students at Cambridge University, vocalist Neil Tennant confirmed the project.
“We have just remixed Noel Gallagher,” Tennant shared. “All collaborations are interesting.”
Pet Shop Boys Aim to “Make You Sound Better”
Tennant explained their philosophy on collaborations.
“The aim is to work with someone who makes you sound 10 times better,” he added.
Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe also expressed their openness to future collaborations.
“I wouldn’t say no,” Tennant said. “Who knows? Ed Sheeran might come up with something.”
Although they joked that Sheeran isn’t “cool,” the duo stressed that “cool” isn’t their priority.
“It’s all about euphoric pop music. Never say never,” Tennant concluded.
