Noel Gallagher's Spokesperson Declines To Comment On Rumours He's Working With Jamie xx

Songwriter revealed in new interview that he is working with a "mystery producer" on new music.

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is working on new music with a "mystery producer", dropping hints that it could be Jamie xx.

Gallagher was interviewed at Dutch festival Best Kept Secret over the weekend and discussed an album he is working on with the unnamed producer. While admitting that "it may come to nothing," when his interviewer mentioned Jamie xx of The xx, Gallagher said with a smile: "Did you just say Jamie xx? Yeah, well, no comment."

The only firm facts that Gallagher confirmed in the short interview was that, "I can tell you it’s not fucking Timbaland, or Jay-Z".

Approached for further information on the subject by NME, a spokesperson for Noel Gallagher declined to comment.

Next month, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds headline Calling Festival at London's Clapham Common on July 4. The show will be the biggest headline gig he's played in the UK as a solo artist. The supporting line-up features Ryan Adams, The Hives, Wolf Alice and more.

Jamie xx will tour the UK in October following festival appearances during the summer.
