Former Westlife star Shane Filan will release his second solo album Right Here on 25th September 2015 it has been announced.

The popstar made the announcement on social media this morning where he revealed the title, the release date and the artwork. Shane’s new single Me and the Moon is available for download now and serves as a taster for the album.

Talking about the album Shane says, “It’s a great example of where I want my music to be at,” he says. “It’s very current, it’s quite pop but there’s a bit of an edge to it, and it’s a big song vocally. What I love about it is that it has a universal meaning. It’s about losing someone you love, but it could be that you’ve lost a relationship, or someone has passed away, or you could be miles away from your loved ones on the other side of the world. I can really relate to it in that sense.”

Take a look at Shane’s post below, which also contains a link to buy Me and the Moon:
