Posted September 13, 20231 yr New music is coming at the end of next week alongside details of their ninth album! It'll be premiered on Radio 2 (no surprises there :lol:). https://retropopmagazine.com/take-that-to-l...iere-next-week/
September 13, 20231 yr I hope they've got a load of cassette and CD singles ready to go. Seriously. It's interesting though, they seem to be leading with a softer ballad (ala Patience) if they're saying it's an emotional one, as opposed to something dancey (These Days) or very live-friendly (Greatest Day and Giants).
September 13, 20231 yr Author Seeing them in the Top 40 again would be great, although I doubt they’re that fussed really.

Looking forward to hearing what they come up this time, I really want them to return to the sound of beautiful world/circus. Physical singles would be goid as I'd love to see them get another top 40.
September 18, 20231 yr Seeing them in the Top 40 again would be great, although I doubt they’re that fussed really.Perhaps not, but I'd like to think they are one of the few legacy acts (not a term I like particularly) that can manage it. Giants got into the top 20 and These Days got to number one less than ten years ago.
September 18, 20231 yr Their streaming isnt great so hopefully they can make some headway there but they will need physicals if its to chart, i would be all for them using the same strategy used by BMG for Kylies recent single Tension, i think that would also work for Take That,.

September 20, 20231 yr I know its only a short clip but im not left excited at all based on the clip :(
September 20, 20231 yr As i have previously said, wonderland didnt really hit the mark for me and i enjoyed parts of III but not it all and i really didnt enjoy Garys last 2 solo offerings so id love for this new album to be different and get me back to loving an album from them like i used to. From the last few releases from Take That/solo albums Marks album is by far my fave. The clip of windows doesnt raise my hopes but i am hopeful there will be at least a couple of songs i will enjoy from the new album. Do you think we will have the album by end of this year or will they hold off until next year?

I think that's how it should be anyway.
September 21, 20231 yr Quite liking it on first listen but not completely blown away by it. The production on it reminds me of some of the songs on Gary’s ‘Since I Saw You Last’ album.
September 22, 20231 yr I really like this, great melody and although a bit different it still feels like a Take That song. The production in neat and I love some of the layered vocals etc.
