December 23, 201212 yr Robbie Williams: 'Different' - Single review Released on Sunday, Dec 16 2012 Published Tuesday, Dec 18 2012, 11:48 GMT | By Lewis Corner |4 comments Robbie Williams: 'Different' "I've been scared, thinking this sounds great, sounds confident, sounds big," Robbie recently said of his latest album Take the Crown. Luckily, Robster's hunch was spot on as the collection soared to the top along with lead single 'Candy', helping him to sell out numerous stadium shows for 2013. It's a hefty achievement to follow up, but one he's decided to do with a big ole slowie. "This time I'll be different, I promise you/ This time I'll be special, you know I will," Robbie tells his love over lofty strings and a soaring chorus co-penned by his Take That pal Gary Barlow, echoing the melancholy of his Escapology days. The result may come as a bump to earth following the bouncy riffs of his previous cut; but like all of his ballads, if you stick with it, you won't regret it. Digital Spy
December 23, 201212 yr This week's new tracksFrank Ocean | Ellie Goulding | Girls Aloud | JLS | Robbie Williams Rap fool Pitbull likes to list the names of countries in his hits in order to show everyone how popular he is ("Look how many idiots are falling for this shit the world over!" it screams). In repeating the trick, Frank Ocean sounds like the saddest travel agent imaginable. "Miami, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Spain, lost", he laments, so distrught he mixes cities up with countries A tale of falling in love with a drugs mule it skips along overa loose-limbed beat, sparkly riff, and sighing strings. Ellie Goulding Figure 8 (Polydor) Just as Ellie Goulding splits with noted hair criminal and part-time aural activist Skrillex, she goes and releases her most "Skrillex" single yet. After a fairly tuneless intro that features a lot of cooing and general "atmospherics", there's one of those almighty drops that makes your bowels shift slightly before the chorus detonates, splintering the song into tiny fragments. It's a bold choice for a single completely undermined by a video that looks like a poorly realised GCSE media studies version of a perfume advert. Girls Aloud Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me (Fascination) Like most fans of Girls Aloud, I assumed the band's low point had been reached in 2007 when they teamed up with Sugababes v3 for a depressingly limp reworking of Walk This Way, which at the time was their only single not to have been produced by Xenomania. Well, I was wrong, because at least that was for charity. Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me – a ballad, never their strongest suit – also misses Xenomania's midas touch and features lyrics so sappy and toe-curlingly condescending Jessie J would have turned it down for being "a bit much". JLS Hold Me Down (RCA) It's a shame, but just as JLS seem to be making the sort of music they might actually listen to at home – their new album's basically a reapproximation of Justin Timberlake's Justified – everyone seems to be past caring. Produced by Rodney Jerkins, the man behind the Spice Girls' last and least-loved album Forever, Hold Me Down is a sweetly sung ode to not giving up even though everyone wants you to. There's something tragically poetic about it all, really. Robbie Williams Different (Island) As much as Robbie Williams bangs on about his brief return to Take That rejuvenating him creatively, it's "interesting" that Different is his second single in a row to feature penmanship from Take That overlord Gary Barlow. It's as if pop's very own boring uncle won't let Williams move on unless he has a say in where he goes next, which if the epic Different is anything to go by, appears to be straight back to therapy. "This time I'll be special, oh God, make it so", he strains on the chorus over a musical backing last heard on an Embrace album. Maybe Barlow's new muse can be Christopher Maloney and we can have Rudebox-era Robbie back. Guardian UK
December 23, 201212 yr 63 in mid-weeks Got to say... I think Radio 1 will have the last laugh when his next single (with no X Factor support) goes in at No.41 because lets face it, outside of 30 and 40-somethings he is pretty irrelevant to music buyers. It's doing worse than I thought. :P
December 23, 201212 yr Strictly doesn't have a shadow of an influence on the charts compared to x factor, he should of done it in the final instead of the overexposed and thoroughly boring sande
December 24, 201212 yr Number 64 this week, it does deserve better but candy is still over shadowing it which doesnt help.
December 26, 201212 yr Not Like The Others should be next ,but will they listen to me :blink: , it's real radio friendly :teresa:
December 26, 201212 yr Not Like The Others should be next ,but will they listen to me :blink: , it's real radio friendly :teresa: I actually agree with that -_-
December 26, 201212 yr I told you it was the wrong single choice. Nobody ever listens to me But actually everybody told the same about Candy in September =))) Edited December 26, 201212 yr by Better Man
