January 2Jan 2 Author Robbie Williams teases new album featuring Glenn Hughes and Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi AbCAOJvkpKs?si=y9yW60W15Jt-BRJs Robbie Williams has teased news of a new album, which will include collaborations with Glenn Hughes and Black Sabbath‘s Tony Iommi. Robbie Williams and director Michael Gracey on their bananas, CGI monkey- featuring biopic ‘Better Man’: “It’s healing” Williams shared his plans for new material during a recent interview with NME, in which he promoted his new biopic, Better Man. The semi-autobiographical film, which is directed and co-written by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), arrived in cinemas over Christmas and tells the story of Williams’ life and career. In the film, the singer is depicted as a CGI monkey, and the plot takes viewers from the early days in childhood to his first taste of success with boyband Take That and beyond. In a recent interview with NME, both Williams and Gracey shared insight into how the idea of a movie came to life, and why they decided to have the singer depicted as a CGI monkey. Later in the discussion, however, their sights turned to new material and the rumours circulating that Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi would be appearing on a new track called ‘Rocket’. Speculation about the track stems back to September 2024, when Williams’ drummer and musical director Karl Brazil spoke about the currently-unreleased song on the Percussion Discussion podcast, and shared news of the collaborations. He’s got an album to follow that we’ve been working on,” Brazil said at the time. “He’s working with various people, but I’ve been fortunate enough to do some songs with him. “We’ve done a track called ‘Rocket’ with Tony [iommi], which is very random,” he added. He shared that the song is “great” and “a rocker and really cool”. When asked about the rumours by NME, Williams revealed that the comments were true and that the upcoming song will be shared as part of a new album. “Glenn Hughes [is on the track too]! I wanted to make the album that I’d make if I’d left Take That now, knowing what I know,” he said. “This particular song [‘Rocket’] encapsulates that perfectly,” he added, going on to reveal what fans can expect from the album as a whole. “Unfortunately and fortunately for me, pop songs turned up along the way, too. I’m like: ‘Ah, f*** – a hit!’ “This [track] is massive guitars, as you can imagine. It’s adrenaline-filled and balls-to-the-wall,” he added. “That one in particular is my favourite song off my new album – that I’ve just announced is happening!” When asked about more details about the album, in particular the release date, Williams quipped: “I dunno – let’s see how well the film does…” Speculation about a new Robbie Williams album has been going on for some time now, with the artist telling fans back in September that a new record was on the way. When the new album arrives, it’ll mark his 13th as a solo artist and his first full-length album since 2019’s ‘The Christmas Present’, not including his Better Man soundtrack album. Before then, he reflected on his awkward and “rude” encounter with Cher, revealed that he has “written loads of songs” for the new release, and shed light on his history of self-harm and depression. While no further details about the project have been shared – including the title or release date – fans could potentially see Williams debut some new songs live, as the singer is currently gearing up for a huge tour across the UK, Ireland and Europe. The tour commences on May 31 with an opening night in Edinburgh. “This tour is going to be my boldest yet – I can’t wait to see you next year. There will be songs from the movie Better Man, and some new music too…but more on that soon,” Williams said in a statement in November. Visit here for tickets and more information. As well as the biopic and upcoming album, Robbie Williams is also reportedly working on a handful of other projects – including opening a hotel, venturing into the drinks industry and launching his own clothing brand. In a three-star review of Better Man, NME wrote: “Better Man begins like a John Lewis ad and swerves into an R-rated hodgepodge that somehow does too much while also barely skimming the surface of Robbie Williams’ career. This is ‘Rudebox’ on film: some of it good, some of it very bad, all of it a bit of a mess. Still, the monkey musical is a big swing that no-one else would have taken. You can’t fault the chutzpah or the ambition. If it makes back its reported budget, we’ll eat $110m worth of bananas.” https://www.nme.com/news/music/robbie-willi...y-iommi-3825653 Edited January 2Jan 2 by Sydney11

He added: "There's some great collaborations on this record. Gaz Coombes is on there. It's predominantly a guitar record. "It's a bit of a throwback to his old sort of 90s sound but the mixed with a bit of modern-day pop as well. Let's face it, he can do what he wants, can't he?" https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/mus...id=BingNewsVerp Edited January 3Jan 3 by Sydney11

January 11Jan 11 https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainmen...ew/77553728007/ Robbie Williams talks new album Robbie Williams performs live at the Telekom Street Gigs with a large orchestra, new songs, and the Beethoven AI at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany in 2022. Williams is aware that despite the echelon of fame in his homeland that almost leveled him many times, America has always been a difficult market to conquer. “Many people already know my story and lots of people are reviled by me, not many are indifferent and some really love me,” Williams says. “So (in the U.S.) it’s going to be incredibly interesting how we get this story across. People have been telling me there have been fights on TikTok about whether I’m allowed to join the pantheon of great artists who have never cracked America or not, which is exciting and bewildering at the same time.” Along with gamely plowing through extensive promotion for “Better Man,” Williams is also finishing a new album – he declines to name a release date “because I haven’t got one yet” – that includes a high-octane rocker with legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Deep Purple alumnus Glenn Hughes. And though he performed a well-received residency at Wynn Las Vegas in 2019, Williams is ambivalent about his next moves. “I did those shows at the Wynn as a busman’s holiday and to scratch an itch. But the plan was to grow it and COVID came along and my concentration and other projects came up and off I went,” Williams says. “I’d love to show off for everybody in (the U.S.) to a greater extent than I’ve been able to. But if my movie is yet again met with indifference, then I will find it very difficult to have the enthusiasm to do anything.”

But if my movie is yet again met with indifference, then I will find it very difficult to have the enthusiasm to do anything.” Knowing Robbie I doubt that feeling will last for too long & he will still want to tip his toe in the water -_-

March 28Mar 28 Thanks to Seb from RWL:It now appears that Karl and Owen have composed three new tracks for Robbie, and these new tracks could therefore be included on the new album. These are:Goodnight Johnboy (Karl Brazil, Owen Parker)Numero Uno (Karl Brazil, Owen Parker)Sombrero (Karl Brazil, Owen Parker)
March 28Mar 28 Still don't get it. I thought the album is recorded with all the hints of with whom Rob had collaborated from Chris Martin to Heavy Metal.
