Kyle Meredith with... Westlife

Westlife on Pure Pop Music, Billy Joel Vibes, & Their First North American Tour

Westlife sit down with Kyle Meredith to discuss their first North American tour in their 25 year career. Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, & Shane Filan talk about their reaction to having the dates immediately sell out, the advice that Simon Cowell gave them early on, and how their latest album Wild Dreams finds them getting back to a pure pop music sound. The Irish group also tells us what its been like to work with the younger songwriters who grew up on their music, the massive success that covering “You Raise Me Up” afforded them, finding a Billy Joel-vibe on their song “Magic,” and what they see in K-Pop and current pop trends.
