I think Noels best chance at a worldwide hit especially at his age is a completely stripped down "Acoustic Song" like "Talk Tonight","Sad Song" or "Half the world Away".
As much as he tries...an acoustic song with some minor orchestral touches is his best bet. A nice simple easy to remember love song.

IF he does plan on it, I expect he has all the chance in the world to do so with "Dying Of The Light". |

He mentioned in an interview that Dying of the Light is much more grandiose on the album. So he probably butchered it and over produced it like "if i had a gun"

Granted, there are a few things I don't like about the track myself, but it has little to do with production value. What in particular do you feel, sound wise, was overdone on the track? |

The drums for starters, I believe that they are actually too fucking loud on almost every track if the first one, Heat of the momment had a nice beat and doesnt over uses the cymbals compared to.the first albums songs. |

"if i had the gun" was a great chance for a big hit. great melody and lyrics but its hard to call it a ...hit.
still a classic in my opinion

If there is a chance to be worldwide hit, then it will be shit. As Noel said "if you're in number 1, then you're shit". Tell me one rock song from the past 5 years, that it was worldwide hit?

One thing is certain:
The so called "worldwide hit" is/will never be my hit and I'm fine with that.
By the way, Just saw on last night's news that a Dutch duo who won the second prize of Eurovision Song Festival last year has chosen as the "best act of 2014" at Noordslag yesterday. What a bollocks.

So he probably butchered it and over produced it like "if i had a gun" Can we just wait till the song is released to make such statements? Nothing that we've heard so far suggests the new album will be like the previous one. Plus we have a different producer this time. |

Noel should cover it. |

Accept it. Noel will never have another worldwide hit.
That's not a criticism of him, but the market.
He could write the greatest song in history tomorrow. Unless Noel wants to give the song he's written to Jennifer Lopez or Jay-Z or One Direction, the general public couldn't care less.
Hit songs these days have nothing to with quality, but with marketability of the image of the artist doing the singing.
The worst single off the next Paris Hilton album (yes, she's doing another one) will sell more copies than the best single off Noel's next album.
The war is over and the mediocre have won.
Stop worrying about the chart placing of Noel's next single or album. Just enjoy the music.

Stop worrying about the chart placing of Noel's next single or album. Just enjoy the music. Unfortunately, this is spot on. The charts are a young man's game. If Noel was signed to massive record label that would actually market him, I'm sure he would be having more worldwide recognition. Let's face it, the only reason any of us are worried about his chart position and worldwide appeal, is because we want him to continue putting out music, to break through the monotony on Simon Cowell produced drivel. The only way you'll see number 1 singles again is if Oasis reform, they sign back with Sony, Liam sorts his voice out and Noel writes all their songs. - Can't see that happening, so I'm just happy Noel is still producing music of any kind.... Alone on a Rope is one of the best things he's written and I love BOTMI.. |

I only ask for his album to be received well by critics and fans, then sell enough to keep the train rolling forward. I asked the same for Beady Eye and they got crushed on those fronts sadly. |

The Death Of You And Me should be a worldwide hit There hasn't been a worldwide hit like that since 1968.  |

The production sounds very cloudy to my ears. The drums and electric guitar are all colliding at once. Doesn't sound like separated tracks. Just one big mess all at once. It loses its intimate nature that way. |

But in all fairness, there are enough Dutch artists that achieved a lot this year. |

The demo or soundcheck thing sounded vulnerable, from the heart and all. The albumversion is boring and loses that emotion. |

He'll never have a worldwide hit. His voice isn't palatable enough.

But in all fairness, there are enough Dutch artists that achieved a lot this year. Mister and Mississippi, Soul Sister Dance Revolution, Mozes and The Firstborn are pretty decent. Pauw supported Temples, so it's geting better with Dutch music scene past years. Until 8 years ago we only had Moke. I loved their debut album and they even supported Weller in Paradiso in 2008. I sent my friends in UK their debut album back in time and they loved it. But I lost interest in them after their second album. Groetjes aan Ilse btw. |
