Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have unveiled the Robert Smith remix of ‘Pretty Boy’.

Discussing his remix of the track, The Cure frontman commented, “I was surprised and delighted when Noel asked me to remix this gorgeous song, and I had a lot of fun slowing it down and spacing it out – Cure drummer Jason Cooper gave me a great vibey drum track to play along with – and the rest just phased into place under the starry sky of my distant moon…”

The original version of ‘Pretty Boy’ released back in November and was the first single to be lifted from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ eagerly anticipated forthcoming studio album ‘Council Skies’.
