Noel Gallagher is actively writing new music.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s DriveTime, the musician said he’s “noodling away” on fresh ideas, adding that songwriting is simply “what I do” when pressed on what he meant.
He stopped short of confirming whether the music is destined for Oasis or his High Flying Birds, keeping his cards close to his chest with a brief: “I’m just writing songs.”
While Noel remains open‑ended about what comes next, his brother and bandmate, Liam Gallagher, recently poured cold water on the idea of Oasis recording new material.
Responding to a fan on X who suggested the band could tour forever without releasing another album, Liam argued that expectations would be impossible to meet.
He said the pressure to match their classic catalogue would “be too much,” joking that the band would “split up again” if they attempted a new record.
Liam has also kept the humour flowing around the ongoing James Bond theme speculation.
When asked how his supposed 007 track was progressing, he quipped that it was finished — but only once Yungblud completes his “triangle solo”.
The pair continued the bit when another fan questioned Noel’s recent studio activity, with Liam joking he’d been busy teaching Yungblud the triangle parts.
Yungblud, for his part, has made no secret of wanting to be involved in the next Bond theme.
Speaking to Kerrang!, he said he’d “love” to collaborate with both Gallagher brothers if the opportunity arose, calling a Bond song “the goal” for any British artist.
Reports suggested Oasis were among the names floated for the next 007 soundtrack, though Noel laughed off the rumour during a previous TalkSPORT appearance.
He said he hadn’t heard anything official but admitted he’d accept the offer “in a heartbeat,” insisting the Bond theme tradition “should be done by Brits.”
He even joked he’d happily play a Mancunian villain if the music gig didn’t materialise.
Noel has previously said he’s experimented with Bond‑style compositions, telling NME that an older track of his “would make a great Bond theme.”
