Really looking forward to hearing the new single on the GNS this weekend

Robbie on Chris Evans this Friday so I guess that will be the first play. B-)

I would like to see the entire video to HES. Or had it only been the sequences he shot as it is not listed as a proper single? Anyway. It worked. Has one of you an idea if it charts with itunes?

I do not know Elisabeth, I must check it out ..

 

THAT'S NOT ME! Robbie Williams replaces friend Alan Carr’s voice on his comeback single

The pop star cut the comedian from the track and used a female voice instead

Oh I get it now - the album title is a pun on "light entertainment"

I do not know Elisabeth, I must check it out ..

 

 

It's 33 today on ITunes.

 

I wondered if there was a full video too but I just assumed they'd recorded the sequence for the TRV slot and that's it.

 

They could easily have used it for a full video though - it's really well done and as in nearly all his videos, he's playing a part, brilliantly.

 

He's flipping wasted not doing his acting....

I agree. Acting woul be perfect for him. I love HES. I should not look at the charts, but cannot help :-).

Is 32 good for a non-singl by an old artist?

As he has reserved stadiums already in Germany and Austria for next summer I assume that he will try a stadium tour.

I also pondered how 'party like a Russian' may sound and being judged in times of the political climate

I must say, I like HES...but Party Like a Russian is awful. Sounds like a rudebox reject. He'd be better using HES as the lead single...

Samples Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokofiev then, like The Apprentice theme.

 

It's very heavily produced, sort of sounds like it could have come out in 2000 though. I don't love it or think it works in 2016 and don't think it will be a hit, not sure how this album will perform for him tbh.

These days, Robbie is usually an album artist, so I expect it will at least manage a gold certification

can't see it being a hit either. Wonder why they had chosen it

Maybe that's why he has a second single lined up soon after? I hope this isn't going to be a Rudebox-esc experimentation...

not for the album

Hmmm not sure what to make of Party Like A Russian. Sounds alright till it gets to the chorus, the sample doesn't work at all.

 

Know idea how this will perform, its not anywhere near as catchy as Candy. Bad Mother****** would have been a better lead single or Sensational

As Rudebox is my favourite Robbie album I would love it to be so but I don't think it will be. ;)

 

I listened to the single for the first time just now and then three more times on the trot and I love it.

 

Love the irony of the lyrics and the Prokofiev strings. It's very bold and different. I picked up this lyric - "I never smile unless it's something to promote, I just won't e.mote". :lol:

 

I don't know how it will chart but I'll be downloading it.

 

I just need to practice my Cossack dancing now. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I don't get why he randomly samples reality TV music in the background. It is quite odd on a first listen and I prefer HES but I'm gonna give it another chance :P

I really like it, it's quirky .. doubt it will do well in the charts though .... then again I said the same about that awful Candy & look what happened ...
