Mark announced earlier this year that he hopes to finally be known as the “cool guy” in Take That when he releases his first solo album in a decade.
In a new interview, the singer opened up about his latest music offering, revealing bandmates Gary Barlow, 51, and Howard Donald, 54, joked it was “s**t.”
Speaking of his long-awaited album, Mark told The Sun: “I try to play it cool, but I’m not cool, there’s no coolness in me. Even though I’m on Take That all the time, I still don’t believe it exists, but that’s okay.

“Howard (Donald) always thinks he’s cool and Jason (Orange) was really cool – he just is. At least I’ll be the coolest guy on this album!’
The group last performed together on their Odyssey: Greatest Hits Live Tour in 2019 and have spent the last few years working on solo projects on hiatus.
And their hiatus, as well as the coronavirus lockdown, allowed Mark to work on his own album, although the record was initially met with a cheeky jibe from his friends.

He explained that he “sent” the song to Howard and Gaz just for them to say, “It sucked,” and Mark was quick to add, “No, they were very flattering after that.”
The star continued that taking Take That’s recent hiatus has allowed him to focus fully on making his album, noting that making music and performing is “part of my life”.
He said: We’ve made three Take That records since my last solo album, but I’m not very good at multitasking. I can’t do two things at the same time, so I had to know that I had a few years to focus on that. The adrenaline of making music and performing is just a part of my life.”

He added that he “can’t wait” to get “back on stage,” adding that he can’t wait for his work to get “out there.”
The Babe hitmaker is no doubt particularly proud of his album, as his daughters Willow, 13, and Fox, nine, make a cameo appearance as backing singers.
And alongside new music, fans of Mark could have more to celebrate as the star has hinted he could be returning to the UK after years of living in Los Angeles.
He noted that the last few times he’s returned to his hometown of Manchester he’s felt “a little bit back in the North of England”.
He said although the family lives there it “just feels different” to be back in Manchester as he asked why he had “an attraction” to his hometown.
