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.

Noel Gallagher has confirmed his next record is underway.
Speaking to NME, the former Oasis man said, "I’m already a bit of the way into my next record. As for what it will eventually say on the cover though remains to be seen."
The new record will be Noel Gallagher’s third album as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. It follows 'Chasing Yesterday' which was released in February this year and his self-titled 2011 debut.
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.
Discussing his plans for the gig with NME, Gallagher commented: "I haven't actually given it much thought… Not sure I see the point in over-thinking these things. Just get up there and give it 75 per cent. (One always has to save some for the aftershow.)"
Asked which Oasis songs he was planning for the headline set, he added, "Fucking hell… D'you want me to tell you what colour of brown or navy blue bomber jacket I'll be wearing an' all?"
Released in February, 'Chasing Yesterday' went straight to Number One and is now certified gold. Asked how he felt about his numerous achievements, Gallagher praised the new generation of fans now supporting his music.
"I'm not sure why or how it's happened but I'm glad it has, and if this tour is anything to go by then there seems to be yet another generation coming through who are discovering whatever it is I do, two decades after the fact. God bless them."
Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher recently criticised a band for handing him an unlabelled demo CD.
Gallagher stopped midway through a show at the Boston Opera House on Saturday, June 6 to educate the band on proper demo CD protocol.
"When you’re giving away CDs of your shit," Gallagher began, "there’s not even a fucking name of who it is, or what it’s called, or a phone number, or nothing. No song titles, no name, no nothing.
Now unless this is some psychedelic fucking album project, I’m saying, this cunt’s going nowhere. Thank you very much."
"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is a song by British rock band Oasis. It was released as the second single from Heathen Chemistry on 17 June 2002, peaking at number two in the UK charts. It went silver in the UK.
The song is an "epic weepy" anthem in the spirit of "Don't Look Back in Anger", reassuringly advising that in times of hardship, simply get over it and get on with your life. Noel Gallagher explained the song saying "A friend of mine was going through a pretty bad time and I sort of wrote it with him in mind."
Noel Gallagher had great expectations for the song, saying "I hope it does for us what 'Don't Look Back In Anger' did... I didn't want it as a single because I thought we'd done all that before, but everyone's going, 'You're fucking mad.'". NME said, 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' [is where] you really start rolling out the red carpet. A return to the long lost humanism of 'Don't Look Back In Anger', it's a reminder of Noel's knack of cheering up his audience just when they need it most." Q magazine held up the song as proof that "genius never completely left Oasis".
"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was one of the songs played during the end credits of the movie, The Butterfly Effect, starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart. It has been on the TV show Smallville too. The song also appeared after England's defeats in the 2002 Football World Cup and the 2006-07 Ashes. Noel Gallagher dedicated it to the English football team before playing it at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival. The song is also featured in the film Made of Honor, Starring Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan and appears towards the end of the film.
This blog and my Oasis site is named after the song.

The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey Teamed Up With Liam Gallagher To Form A Supergroup For A Special Performance On Revived UK TV Show TFI Friday.
Daltrey and Gallagher performed The Who's classic 1965 hit My Generation with The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie, original Oasis member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, and Ringo Starr's drummer son Zak Starkey live on the entertainment show on Friday (12Jun15).
The series, hosted by British DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans, returned for a one-off special with celebrity guests including Rita Ora, rocker Ricky Wilson, and Sir Kenneth Branagh, and performances from acts including Blur and Rudimental.
During the show, host Evans bowed out and enlisted Scottish actor Ewan McGregor to interview fellow Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried, while other guests included British funnyman Stephen Merchant, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and Olympic swimmer Tom Daley. Black Grape rocker Shaun Ryder, whose expletive-ridden appearances on the original show prompted TV bosses to stop the series being broadcast live, made a comeback, and walked on the set with tape over his mouth.
The programme originally ran from 1996 to 2000. After Evans left the show, the sixth and final series of TFI Friday was hosted by guests presenters including Sir Elton John and the Spice Girls.
