On this, singer and radio presenter Nicky Byrne took to social media, talking about the challenges that come with recording a new album remotely from each member's home. 

"One hell of an experience"

"Recording our new album individually - and remotely from our homes has been one hell of an experience!", Byrne wrote. 

"Dogs Barking, doorbell going, WiFi dropping out to mention just a few 🤷‍♂️ but we got there in the end!". 

"Now fully recorded, it's currently in the oven and cooking time is approx 2/3 months", he added. 

"We may open the oven door at some point to sample our brand spanking new single as a starter…😉🙏in the meantime trust me - it's starting to smell Devine! (sic)".
