Westlife Lost Album ‘Echoes in the Night’ Surfaces After 38 Years

 

In a shocking discovery, Westlife’s lost album ‘Echoes in the Night’ has surfaced after 38 years, sending shockwaves through the music industry. The album, which was recorded in 1985, features 10 previously unheard tracks, including the title song “Echoes in the Night”, “Lost in the Shadows”, and “Whispers in the Dark”.

 

Background

Westlife, one of the most successful boybands of all time, was formed in 1998, but it appears that the group’s members, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne, had been working on music together long before their official debut. The lost album ‘Echoes in the Night’ was recorded during a pivotal time in the group’s history, when they were still finding their sound and style.

 

Recording and Abandonment

The album was recorded at a small studio in Sligo, Ireland, with the help of a local producer. However, due to creative differences and personal tensions, the project was abandoned, and the album was left unfinished. The master tapes were stored away, and it seemed like ‘Echoes in the Night’ would never see the light of day.

 

Discovery and Release

Fast forward to 2023, when a team of archivists and engineers stumbled upon the long-lost master tapes while digging through the group’s vault. After careful restoration and remixing, the album is finally ready for release. “We’re thrilled to finally share ‘Echoes in the Night’ with the world,” said Shane Filan. “It’s a piece of Westlife history that we thought was lost forever, and we’re excited for fans to hear it.”
