Liam Gallagher has been working on new material with Greg Kurstin, who co-wrote and produced Adele’s monster hit Hello, reports the Evening Standard.

In an interview with the paper in anticaption of his debut solo album release later this year, and the fast approaching start of a summer of tour dates, Gallagher revealed Kurstin was brought on board at the suggestion of his partner and manager Debbie Gwyther to help with songwriting duties.

“It is what it is, mate,” he said. “I didn’t write Live Forever but as soon as I sang it, I made it my own. I class myself as a rock ’n’ roll singer who writes the odd tune now and again. And that is it. I’m not going out saying I’m Bob Dylan. Ideally, you want to do it yourself. But I can’t write those f****** big songs. I’m limited. My verses are up there, but I just can’t do that next bit.”

“The main thing is getting a record done, getting back touring and doing what I do: singing and moving people, rather than sitting at home doing nothing, spouting off on Twitter.”
