Hawley has no regrets over Robbie offer

DigitalSpy: Thursday, August 31 2006, 15:43 BST - by David Cribb

 

Richard Hawley has insisted he does not regret turning down an offer to write songs for Robbie Williams.

 

The Mercury Music Prize nominee feels the move would have been a step in the wrong direction, although he admits the financial benefits would have been great.

 

He says: "It's a different world all that. It would have been like winning the lottery. But it would also have been like taking whatever scant wisdom I've developed in this short life and throwing it away."

The former Longpigs lead singer/songwriter is the second artist this week (after Rufus Wainwright) to reveal that they have turned down working with the newly self proclaimed "King Of Pop". Do you think that with the release of his new single "RudeBox" & the flop of his last single "Sin Sin Sin" the Robbie is losing his grip?

Ouch.

 

Robbie is bored and doesn't know what he wants. He can't make it on his own and knows he has to collaborate. It's just a matter of finding someone who is willing to share. He can't go back to Guy he's already burned that bridge by dismissing all his previous work. I'm not and never have been a 'fan' of Robbie although I have liked some of his past songs. Rudebox is, imo, awful.
