On 23 February 2010, Hales released information on his Facebook page that he had finished the album "My album is now actually finished. As I suspected, it is called Magnetic North. I am very pleased with it". He went on to say "It's hard to describe. It's like 12 kids who you would never guess were in the same family until you hear them speaking. See? I told you it's hard to describe."

He also stated that tracks from the record and further details would be available in "The coming weeks thus driving you wild with anticipation."
