Smith said that the album will be a mix of sadder songs alongside more upbeat tracks. "I tend to favour this option," he said. "More in the style of (1987)'s Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me' album, with different things happening instead of being a mood piece. But the art of that is to get it all to hang together." The band no longer has a keyboard player since Roger O'Donnell quit last year, while original guitarist Porl Thompson has returned. Smith added: "There's no need for keyboards when you have Porl playing guitar. He can pretty much create any sound you want. He's brought back a sense of urgency and we've got a rock edge again."
