Following a spectacular performance in Tallinn this week we're taking you back to Robbie's Zurich show last Friday and his no-less-spectacular zip-wire entrance.

 

In his latest video, Robbie explains how he's "always had a competition with myself just about how I get myself on stage" and we get to meet some of his most committed concert-goers outside the Stadion Letzigrund!

 

There may only be one stop left on the Take The Crown Stadium Tour 2013, but there are plenty more videos headed your way. See them first by subscribing to Robbie's YouTube channel.

The Bambi for Entertainment goes to Robbie Williams

 

He is one of the greatest performers of all times, an artist with a mission to entertain us. At his completely sold out “Take The Crown”-Tour in the summer of 2013, Robbie Williams electrified millions of fans in Europe. His tenth studio album will already be released on November 15. With “Swing Both Ways” Robbie Williams once more releases a remarkable tribute to the swing era. On November 14, Robbie Williams will be awarded the Bambi for entertainment.

 

The Bambi jury says, “Robbie Williams is the most successful European pop star of our time – and certainly the coolest one, too. Like few others, the artist from Great Britain knows how to take him and his status as superstar with a smile. His often self- mocking lyrics, videos and interviews express a strong personality which isn’t influenced by the enormous commercial pressure of the music business. With his album ‘Swings Both Ways’ Robbie Williams shows once more that he is a natural born entertainer who expertly masters several genres.”

 

His career kicked off in the 90s as a member of the commercially most successful boy band “Take That”. This didn’t just send him all around the globe on tour but also to the top of the charts. The pop song Angels in 1997 was Robbie Williams’ first immortal hit and simultaneously the hymn starting his brilliant solo career. Today Robbie Williams has nine Echo Awards, eleven Golden Records solely for his album “Intensive Care” (2006) and 17 Brit Awards, more than any other British artist. He even is in the Guinness Book of Records for selling 1.6 million tickets on one day. Robbie Williams sold 70 million records worldwide and has so far released nine highly successful studio albums worldwide.

 

On his new album which he produced with his co-composer Guy Chambers once more, he also sings duets with stars such as Michael Bublé, Rufus Wrainwright and Lilly Allen. The Album is partially made up of swing classics such as “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and partially from new songs Robbie Williams composed with Guy Chambers. The first single from this album to be put out on German radio stations on October 11 is a pop song called “Go Gentle”. Robbie dedicates this song to his daughter Teddy who just turned one.

 

“Go Gentle” might be Robbie Williams’ next record-breaking new single after his making German radio-history with his hit single “Candy” – no other single has ever been played so many times on German radio stations in one week (3088 times in one week)!

Listen To Go Gentle Now - Lyric Video

 

11 Oct 2013

Who set their alarm nice and early to hear the first plays of Robbie's new single, Go Gentle, this morning? If you love the track we have good news for you: it's available to listen to AND pre-order right now!

 

The first single to be released from Robbie's forthcoming album, Swings Both Ways, Go Gentle hits the shelves on 11th November and represents the first in a fresh new batch of songs penned with Robbie's long-term writing partner, Guy Chambers.

 

Yip, as I suspected. All the comments are really positive on You Tube. People love the song.

 

Good luck to him. I hope it sells well.

Nice lyrics though. Must be the first song with 'eejits' in the lyrics. For that I applaud him :lol:

Songs OK, I prefer something with a bit more grit :)

 

 

Loving other tracks on the album though, can see me singing along happily to it on Xmas day with a glass of vino :P

NEWS & BLOGS INTRODUCING... DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

INTRODUCING... DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

 

19 Oct 2013

 

Dream A Little Dream is described by Robbie as "a favourite song of everybody’s [and] probably one of the sweetest ditties ever written."

 

And who can argue with that: the song has been covered by a galaxy of stars since it was penned in the early 1930s, including Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Doris Day and one of Robbie's favourite Kings of Swing, a certain Dean Martin.

 

The choice to include the beautiful love song on Swings Both Ways has similarities to the inspiration which also led to the inclusion of another track on the album, I Wan'na Be Like You. Dream A Little Dream also brings back strong childhood memories for Robbie, taking him back to his early life in Stoke-On-Trent, the place where he first played and fell in love with the track and, indeed, Swing music.

 

"I know it from my dad’s record collection when he left, and then from the Beautiful South covering it," he explains.

Robbie Williams & Lily Allen in the studio for Dream A Little Dream

 

Robbie's not the only one with a strong attachment to the tune. Lily Allen, his collaborator and songstress extrordinaire on the track said: "Dream A Little Dream is one of my favourite songs of all time so I didn’t hesitate when Robbie asked me if I’d like to duet with him on it. I was a bit nervous when we recorded it, especially when I asked him what he wanted me to do and he said something like ‘just be you’. But I’m really happy with it and think we do justice to a classic song."

 

Robbie certainly agrees: "As soon as she opened her mouth in the studio it was like ‘that’s amazing…’”

 

Aww!
