Robbie meets Take That in studio

By Ian Youngs

Music reporter, BBC News

 

 

Robbie Williams has started recording his new solo album - at the same studio complex where Take That are working.

 

Williams' album, due out this autumn, is being produced by Trevor Horn, who has crafted hits for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, ABC and Seal.

 

Horn's west London headquarters is also being used by Gary Barlow.

 

"They're all in the building. Gary is in one of the rooms and Robbie's there, so they bump into each other and they get on brilliantly well," Horn said.

 

Horn, whose Sarm West complex has four recording studios, described Williams and his former bandmates as "really good friends".

 

Williams recently said it would be "fun" to rejoin his old bandmates, and that a return was "looking more likely by the week".

 

 

 

It is possible that the fivesome will get back together on stage as a one-off appearance, potentially during the group's summer stadium tour.

 

But Williams' spokesman stressed that there were no current no plans for him to take part in full concerts with the group or record new material with them.

 

"He is fully focused on getting the album together and there are no plans for a Take That reunion," the spokesman said.

 

Speaking to BBC News, Horn described Williams as "without a doubt one of the best singers I've ever worked with".

 

Williams has been largely out of the spotlight since 2006, when he released his last album Rudebox and went on a world tour.

 

 

 

Rudebox was a relative commercial and critical disappointment, ending up as the 41st best selling album of 2006 in the UK.

 

The forthcoming release will be his last album under his current contract with EMI.

 

Horn has been in the bands The Buggles, Yes and Art of Noise, and won the Brit Award for best British producer three times in the 1980s and '90s.

 

He helped shape the 1980s pop sound through production work including Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax and Two Tribes, and ABC's chart-topping 1982 album The Lexicon of Love.

 

He won a Grammy Award in 1995 for Seal's Kiss from a Rose and produced the Pet Shop Boys' 2006 album Fundamental, which featured guest vocals from Williams

Tons of artists he has worked with, including Dollar, remember them :lol:

 

Kind of makes me even more curious now to hear what Robbies new album is going to be like

 

 

*** Shudders *** :cry:

 

:lol: what you didn't like Dollar Jups

 

:cry: shudders too

 

Looking at the list Scorps has just posted, tons of artists on there, all different kinds of music

 

Robbies new album could be a mixture of all of them :lol:

:cry:

 

In fairness they are not something I could watch so I don't need reminding.. :cry: .I do like some of the other stuff he has produced though....especially my beloved PSB...well he did not produce them physically :P but you know what I mean :rolleyes:

 

Hey !!! this has to be good ...at least he seems to be sticking to a well known producer ( as far as we know :wacko: ) Soul Mekanik had too much influence in his last album Rudebox...hopefully this time they stick to the remixes -_-

 

Anyone seen Scotty about...I wonder what he thinks :mellow:

 

:unsure:
