March 28Mar 28 Author I'LL TAKE THAT!Robbie Williams makes HUGE decision ahead of release of new album ‘because he wants more number 1s’My insider said: 'Robbie’s ambition has not diminished and he still wants to have number ones'Ellie Henman, Bizarre EditorPublished: 19:00, 28 Mar 2025CloseTOGETHER they have crafted some of the biggest pop hits of the past 30 years but Robbie Williams is making his new album without his long-time partner Guy Chambers.Insiders told me Robbie, who created genius tracks like Angels, No Regrets and Rock DJ with Guy, is now working on his 13th studio album with his drummer and live music director Karl Brazil.3Robbie Williams is making his new album out without long-time partner Guy Chambers (pictured on the left)Credit: GettyThe album is the follow up to his last record, XXV, which went straight to the No1 spot when he released it three years back.Karl has now penned three new songs for the new album with songwriter Owen Parker, called Goodnight Johnboy, Number One and Sombrero.My insider said: “Robbie’s ambition has not diminished and he still wants to have number ones. “Robbie and Guy are still dear friends but Robbie wants to explore other songwriting options on what is going to be a very eclectic record – displaying his rock influences and his skill for crafting pop hits. “Robbie has developed a close working relationship with Karl on tour and he likes what Karl and Owen have come up with.“Karl has come up with those three tracks and they’ll all make it onto the album. “Robbie is so excited with how it is sounding.” Last year Karl let slip that Robbie had teamed up with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi for a song called Rocket, which will also make the record.Speaking about his new music, Robbie said:“ I wanted to make the album that I’d make if I’d left Take That now, knowing what I know. “This [track] is massive guitars, as you can imagine. It’s adrenaline-filled and balls-to-the-wall. That one in particular is my favourite song off my new album. “Unfortunately, and fortunately for me, pop songs turned up along the way, too. I’m like, ‘Ah, f**k – a hit.’”Teasing Robbie’s new work, Karl added: “It’s predominantly a guitar record. Let’s face it, he can do what he wants.“Modern-day Elvis I call him, he’s absolutely bossing top of the tree.”Robbie Williams makes HUGE decision ahead of release of new album 'because he wants more number 1s' | The Irish Sun Edited March 28Mar 28 by Sydney11
March 29Mar 29 I was thinking about the new songs and this article. Could it be that he had finalized the album already last year and they thought the movie would raise the profile of Rob in the USA plus give him more artistic freedom to be successful? So his songs had been more 'experimental' Robbie songs?. Now after this did not happen, he might have to replace certain songs for some which fit his core audience in Europe better? Or do I simply overthink this too much :-)?

Or do I simply overthink this too much :-)?Ì agree with a lot of what you say Elisabeth, I find it all very confusing & have no idea what we are going to get , Looks to me like he is still kind of promoting Betterman through the songs & throwing a few new songs in there to keep the hardcore fans happy which is better than nothing I guess.A new album is not mentioned on rw.com website even though Soccer Aid & his art expo in London is so is he holding back on releasing an actual album until next year which I think would be a way better idea & let it stand on it's own merit alone & also gives him the option of touring it at a later date .I have no doubt that his upcoming tour will be great , it will probably feature a lot of 🙈🙉🙊themes . I would love to him include M&MM in the setlist but as it did not appear in the movie I guess it might not but fingers crossed it just might make it 🤞

May 21May 21 Author Robbie Williams is set to release his first studio album in nearly a decade, titled Britpop, this autumn. The album draws inspiration from the 1990s Britpop era, reflecting Williams' experiences during that transformative period in British music.The lead single, "Rocket," is available now and features guitar work by Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi. The track showcases a blend of nostalgic rock vibes with fast-paced lyrics, signaling a departure from Williams' earlier electronic influences.The album's artwork adds a touch of humour and nostalgia, depicting a young Robbie at Glastonbury Festival in 1995, accompanied by a mock protest scene parodying eco-activist group Just Stop Oil. This imagery reflects Williams' fond memories of that festival as a pivotal moment in his life.In support of the album, Williams will embark on the Robbie Williams Live 2025 tour, commencing on May 31 in Edinburgh and concluding on October 7 in Istanbul. The tour includes a performance at Dublin's Croke Park on August 23. Fans can expect a series of stadium shows across Europe, featuring a setlist that blends new material with classic hits.Robbie Williams Returns with 'Britpop': A Rock-Infused Homage to the '90s | www.98fm.com

May 22May 22 Author I can finally reveal that I have the pleasure and honour of being the artist behind the painting on the cover of Robbie Williams' new album "Britpop"! 😁 The cover and Robbie's new single "Rocket" was just released this morning and it's fantastic! We have lift off! 💥🚀😁The painting is based on the iconic photo of Robbie taken during the Glastonbury Festival in 1995 just before he left Take That. It was so much fun creating it and it was a challenge to keep it a secret! 😁 I had the privilege of being at the photoshoot for the cover as well and it was an amazing experience!I will be able to share more about the project in the future! ❤️ 😉https://www.instagram.com/kateoleskaart/
