Really interesting interview from Italy.

 

Good direct questions and equally direct, honest answers.

 

Makes a change from the same old questions that usually come up.

 

On a shallow note - he looks gorgeous too. :wub:

Other people have it done in secret. He's the only one I can think of who puts it in an acceptance speech. :lol:

 

Looks much better without them. He's a handsome man. Hopefully he'll have a go, get bored and lose interest. ;)

 

 

There are no secrets when it comes to Robbie :P

Not sure about Love My Life as second single , it's middle of the road for me if I'm honest.

STRANGE BREW

AMBITIOUS BUT WONKY 11TH FROM THE SOMETIME TAKE THAT MAN

 

ROBBIE WILLIAMS

HEAVY ENTERTAINMENT SHOW

 

COLUMBIA/SONY MUSIC

 

Now best known as an occasional member of Gary Barlow’s Take That, Robbie Williams enjoyed a thriving career in the post-Britpop era, propelled by his massive hit Angels. He was, with his deliberate insider/outsider relationship to his pop fame, the Lily Allen of his day. Now, after albums of standards and tours with Take That, Williams releases his 11th studio solo album.

 

Heavy Entertainment Show sees him reunited with songwriter Guy Chambers and features contributions from John Grant, Brandon Flowers and others. Musically, it’s a step away from the fanboy eclectics of, say, Rock DJ (updated Ian Dury) and Rudebox (Pet Shop Boys), returning partly to the ‘90s on Love My Life and the ballad David’s Song, but also ranging from the odd, Shirley Bassey-sings-Divine Comedy opener of the title track and the PSB-ish Party Like A Russian to the Scissor Sisters-doing-Don’t Bring Me Down of Bruce Lee (ironically without the “Bruce!”). There’s a grunty Pretty Woman (not that one) and a duet on Hotel Crazy with Rufus Wainwright, which contains the wronged-up line, “I’m a Big Mac short of a Happy Meal.”

 

It’s a sometimes peculiar, uneven set, lacking a big set-piece and letting the knowing lyrics pull much of the weight. At its best, it’s funny and genuinely strange: at its worst it flops the damp weariness of Gary Barlow’s Take That over Williams’ archer past like a wet saddle. The desire to do something different is admirable, but the results are unfocused, like a collection of B-sides to singles that never existed. ***

Listen To: David’s Song, Live My Life

 

 

I'm liking the fact that its something different. The snippets led me to believe it was quite eclectic and it seems to be so.

everyone is up to his own with his/her opinion. And every judgement of a single song can be different. I doubt though that this will be the last album if the single is not successful. Then it may be the last album of Gaga or buble either. Established acts may have a chance still of single luck, but it is small.

The album it is. I also doubt that Robbie has not the enthusiasm anymore he once had. I agree though that these days songs are more of a work than of a feel like they had been in his earlier difficult years. This does not necessarily mean the songs are worse.

It is only opinions Elisabeth . I like the fact that Robbie comes up with something different & I always find a couple of songs on his albums that interest me & they are usually the quirky ones ., not the ones that make the charts .
