Now signed to Decca Records, Ronan Keating has revealed that the release of his new studio album will come next year.
As his 10th record, Ronan's back with material described as "equal parts biographical and raw", with songs included "inspired by the new found happiness in his life."
Ronan says: "I've spent the majority of my life and career pleasing everyone else, doing what people expected of me and in a sense I lost the confidence just to simply be me.
"Over the last few years I have been on an incredible journey and it's the best thing that could have happened to me, as now I'm finally comfortable in my own skin and truly happy.
"This album is a true reflection of who I am and the music I want to make. It's taken a year to write but in that time I have given the most honest piece of me."
Recently, Ronan's taken on more acting roles and made his West End debut in Once earlier this year, picking up some great feedback from critics.
He's also found a home in X Factor Australia, enjoying five years on the show to-date and mentoring two winners.
Ronan's new solo album is officially released on February 12, 2016.
