Liking Elita! It’s definitely not what I expected from Gary Barlow. Is he going to have to dance to this live? Haha

Yeah it seems to be received very well among people more broadly - they may have missed a trick by not releasing it as a physical copy - but not sure it’ll chart with the way it’s all calculated on streams these days

I have no idea what Steps might sell...would they do a 50k opener? Gary has the Xmas market segment and the album preorder for the tour, so hopefully that helps

Why would he release it on a Wednesday though??

I like it, but I’d have preferred Gary to be singing the lines Yatra sings

Album released on 27 November! Track list: Who’s Driving This Thing Incredible Elita (ft Michael Bublé & Sebastián Yatra) The Big Bass Drum This Is My Time Enough Is Enough (ft Beverley Knight) Bad Libran Eleven (ft Ibrahim Maalouf) Before We Get Too Old (ft Avishai Cohen) Supernatural Oh What A Day (ft Chilly Gonzales) What Leaving’s All About (ft Alesha Dixon) The Kind Of Friend I Need (ft James Corden) I Didn’t See That Coming ADDITIONAL BONUS TRACKS Deluxe CD / Boxset / LP Only Let’s Get Drunk The Day The World Stopped Turning You Make The Sun Shine (ft Barry Manilow) Incredible (Live) Incredible (Charleston Remix)

Also, having three vocalists...that’s gonna be interesting on a 3 min song

So we know what the album release date is? Elita gets its first play on Wednesday.

Does anyone have a copy of the interview in the Telegraph today?

This is super interesting!! Very intrigued to hear this single and album! Also, to lead with a duet...! Must be good

Will he bother with a single? Live Promotion will be non existent

Single should probably hit the radio in the next couple of weeks I think?

And no regrets too. That said, it would be cool hearing Robbie sing on the 2006-2009 material

Maybe they’ll be a medley thrown in too?

I mean, it’s not as if Jason is travelling or anything right now...he’ll probably be watching it like the rest of us!

Yeah, I reckon they’ll do Relight with Robbie doing the Lulu part! That said, and from what Gary said in his autobiography, I think they’ll just sing on everything and no distinction. A bit like when they did No Regrets as a 5. Robbie was singing Greatest Day and others the other day on his Instagram sessions, so that would be my bet

I wonder if the crooner sessions will be released in some way? A Charity album, perhaps?

Hey gang! Gary and Robbie has a nice little singalong to Shame earlier: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-7UUcen9ux/?i...d=11eu5kfoezldh Check it out!

And a Robbie Gary duet of Shame https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-7UUcen9ux/?i...d=11eu5kfoezldh

Live version of ‘This House’ today: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-4vfvTnbbM/?i...d=1cqcu17puwrg5 Happy Easter, everyone

Enjoyed the Tony Hadley one today too. Gary has also been announced on the Children in Need / Comic Relief joint event. Possible solo material platform? https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a3...on-gary-barlow/

I really enjoyed the one with Katherine Jenkins and Shane!

New info on Back for Good! Apparently it’s now their second best selling single, behind Rule the World. CD and downloads: 1.1m Streams: 29m Video: 2m https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/n...for-good__8789/

I hope everyone is enjoying the Crooner sessions!!! What’s everyone’s favourites so far? P.S. apologies I’ve been inactive. I’ve just moved over to the USA with work, and then COVID hit. Hope you and your families are all keeping well.

Another week of TT in the top 40! Must admit, I was hoping for a Xmas bounce - maybe it’ll come next week
