Boyzone - Said And Done

They had two for the road before saying thank you and goodnight again, and that's when we realised - it's not all Said And Done for us because we haven't ever been track by track through a Boyzone album. They were one of the biggest boybands of the 90s, plastered all over Smash Hits and with hits galore, but how did it all begin? Before the documentary, the comeback, and before Stephen Gately's tragic passing, we're going back to Ronan, Mikey, Keith, Shane and of course Steo's beginnings.

Fear not... We have risen. It's been a couple of months since our last release, but following a Holy weekend we just had to confess something: This is our first Louise episode! But what better place to start than what we believe is her best album to date?! It is of course last year's Confessions. With co-writes from Jon Shave, Karen Poole, MNEK, Hannah Robinson, Wayne Hector, Miranda Cooper and so many more, this album featuring the cream of the pop song crop blew us away, becoming one of our Albums Of 2025. We haven't stopped playing it or talking about it since its release, so we just had to give it the Track By Track treatment.Let us know what you think to the album and the episode @trackbytrackuk over on Insta or [email protected] on electronic-mail.And if you've enjoyed the episode, please do confess and give us a rating and review.
