Harry Judd is a massive fan of McFly’s forthcoming seventh studio album. 

The band returned from a hiatus in 2020 with their sixth LP ‘Young Dumb Thrills’, which saw the band return to the UK charts after a decade.

Now, the four-piece are hard at work on its follow-up and, teasing the project on social media, drummer Harry Judd couldn’t help but gush over their new work.  

Listening to the new album. Hands down my favourite music we’ve ever done. This is my favourite Mcfly album. Can’t wait for you to hear it.

— Harry Judd (@mcflyharry) January 24, 2022

He penned: “Listening to the new album. Hands down my favourite music we’ve ever done. This is my favourite Mcfly album. 

“Can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Harry recently revealed the group had been in the studio writing songs after taking a “different approach” last time round.

He explained: “’Young Dumb Thrills’ still had guitars and drums on it but there was programming and a bit of a different approach to recording.

“This time, from day one of writing and recording, we’ve had all our gear set up.

“So if Tom has brought in a song in the morning, we go straight in to playing it as a band to get parts that way. We’ve been writing songs in that environment as well, and writing riffs.”

And fans of the group’s ‘00s heyday will be thrilled to hear McFly are using their fourth LP ‘Radio:Active’ as a reference point for the new material. 

“We wanted to approach this from more of a band perspective, how we would have done it ten years ago,” Harry mused.

“We wanted to let our instruments do the talking on this album. Our fourth album ‘Radio:Active’, we wanted to recreate that setting.

“Musically it is not the same as ‘Radio:Active’ but we wanted to create that same feeling of why we love being in a band and playing our instruments together.”
