Mariah and Westlife talk about their collaboration
Westlife: This is gonna be our 6th single and fingers crossed it will be good for us. We've had a great year and this has topped it. We said before that this year couldn't beat last year but we're only 4/5 months into the year and we're doing a duet with Mariah Carey. It couldn't be better.
Mariah: The collaboration between Westlife and myself came about because we actually met. I think a couple of times but one time at an after party and someone I know who works for their record company introduced us and they were really cool and really nice and we started talking about Ireland and a bunch of different things and they were very complimentary and we talked about doing something together and I thought it would be a cool kind of unique, international collaboration.
Westlife: We're very big fans of Mariah, massive fans of Mariah, we love her music, especially Mark. Mark's the biggest and bestest Mariah fan in the whole world.
Mariah: They'll be big in America because I think they are very talented and I think once America is exposed to them no matter what song they have they will do well.
Westlife: The next album we want to style better we want, obviously we want the songs to be better than the first album and we hope to bring some more uptempo stuff into the album. Not necessarily stuff like other groups like BSB but create our own uptempo style and have some really really good, really really banging uptempo songs as well as the ballards. We've matured, even though its only been like a year since we released something, we've matured a lot and I think you're going to see a lot closer to the real 100% us. Both in interviews and in music. We're a lot more grown up to the business, we're a lot more used to it.
Mariah: I really like the record I think people are gonna like it a lot. I did a version of it on my album by myself but when we did the version together I think it really took it up a notch and its own... its own new thing, it's really cute, I like it a lot.
