15/12/2000 - seconds from ronan

Now that 'Ronan', the first Ronan album is well and truly a success, Ronan is ready to write his second studio album! The album will see a more experienced Ronan Keating as he described when speaking to Worldpop: "It's going great. I'm more confident than I was on the first album". There will be contributions from writers on the first album including former New Radicals front man, Gregg Alexander who along with Rick Nowels wrote Ronan's first big single, 'Life Is A Rollercoaster'. The album is expected to be released in a finished form sometime in the new year.

26/11/2000 - no bad feelings at all!

It was a tough week!  Ronan's third single, 'The Way You Make Me Feel' reached a reasonable position of number 6 in the UK singles chart.  We still think it is a good position and hope it stays in the top 10 for a while at least - no bad feelings at all!

15/11/2000 - ronan to do pogues cover version

Ronan Keating will be recording a newer version of 'Fairytale Of New York', the popular hit first released by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl (pictured left) in 1987 which featured on The Pogues' album 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God'. The song became a Christmas hit in that year scoring a UK No.2 position. The Pogues front man, Shane MacGowan gave permission for the song to be redone by Ronan despite Ronan's desire to alter and remove some of the words from the original song's lyrics. Original words like 'arse' and 'faggot' are not to feature in the Ronan version because Ronan felt it would be offensive with respect to his target audience. Maire Brennan from the Irish folk group, Clannad (pictured above left) famous for their theme tune to 'Harry's Game', will be singing duo with Ronan. MacGowan will also be working more with Ronan with the prospect of a new song. The song is expected to feature on the next single from Ronan Keating, 'The Way You Make Me Feel' due for release later this year.

13/11/2000 - keating's feelings

Ronan will be releasing a new single called 'The Way You Make Me Feel' on the 20th November 2000 in the UK.  This song was co-written by Bryan Adams who is famous for the long 16 week number 1 single, '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You'.  It will come in 2 CDs with some brand new tracks.  Check the Discography for full details of this forthcoming release!
