  1. Mack, thanks! "This may be one of Robbie's underrated songs in my view but I can see why people might not like this." By the way, why do you think so? Very interesting to hear your opinion.
  2. Just. A. Fantastic. Song. Happy for this release!!
  3. Here is a full today show with songs and interview. I loved it :)
  4. Human is just out!! Who is on a duet with Rob?? Is it just for me a lady's voice similar to T Swift? šŸ¤”
  5. Williams is due to release ā€˜Human’, the third single from ā€˜Britpop’, tomorrow (August 21). ā€œ[It’s] a song that I’ve written about AI,ā€ he revealed, ā€œand what we are being told about AI and our fears about AI. We are being told that we are all about to be replaced and we need clothes and we need food, so there’s a chance that we will be removed. Whether it is a prophecy, we shall seeā€¦ā€ Before departing the stage, ahead of the album playback, he joked: ā€œAm I paying for the bar? Enjoy!ā€ Unfortunately, it was all but impossible to actually hear ā€˜Britpop’ over the din of chattering media types, but it’s clearly very guitar-based, as Williams suggested it would be back in 2022. Although largely fast-paced, the album also features mellower tracks such as one that sees Williams duet with a female singer over melancholic washes of synth and muted, downbeat percussion. There’s also a disco-style track and one on which he sing-raps, while there’s a lyrical callback to 1997’s ā€˜Angels’, his biggest hit to date: ā€œIt offers me protection.ā€ NMERobbie Williams’ new album features a Gary Barlow co-writ...The singer also discussed the sound of ā€˜Britpop’, new single 'Human', his (lack of) '90s memories, his art career and more at an album playback at London’s Groucho club, where he was interviewed by...
  6. Interesting that BJ is announcing another single: šŸ¤” Robbie Williams – Pretty Face https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/281451-new-release-schedule-friday-15-august/#comment-7792809
  7. Waiting for "Morrissey" song, of course :) Robbie's new album also sees him reunite with his Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, with the pair working on a song together for the first time since he briefly reunited with the band for an album and tour in 2010 and 2011. He said: 'I've collaborated with Gary on a lot of tracks actually. It's great because that particular track is a song made by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow about Morrisey. Describing the song as 'considerate', he added: 'The reason I'm considerate about it is because I'm writing it from the point of view of a stalker, so it's somebody who's stalking, and is completely obsessed and in love with him.'
  8. Some kind of the offtopic but it fits well :)
  9. Well, not easy to say because this time Rob's album will be out after the tour. You know that usually as Tour helps any big artists to get a great numbers at the first week (tickets presale style). So, now he hasn't this feature under the belt and I really don't know how it will be effected on his sales. By my opinion, it's should not be a big figures for him. Go next. Nobody beat Taylor in sales at the moment: not Ed, not Harry even not Oasis (in UK), so Taylor is the most difficult competitor for sure. In my opinion Rob should be happy to have this type of competition though he has no big chance to win. But 2nd week is extremely less (usually) even for Taylor comparing to her 1st week. If you look at her previous album sales at was something like that: 260k (1 week) and 50k (2 week). If her sales would stay around such figures then Rob has a chance. Selling 55-60k is his standards nowadays but again, this time there is no any forthcoming tour and pre-sales of album should not be so strong than usually. But in a case he will announce some mini tour with pre sales tickets then he could grab his Number 1 during his 1st week. So, a lot of additional work from his mgmt must be done if they need it. If not, then he will reach Number 2.
  10. Regarding the feedback on concerts in Scandinavia I've been in Denmark in 2013 and it was a positive and good experience, haven't seen or heard something wrong or so. But in general Denmark always been more loyal to TT and RW than Sweden, etc.
  11. LOL, also wanted to post it. Maybe the worst cover ever :))))
  12. Yes, it will be difficult. Maybe Universal will shift 1 week after? But maybe it's late because I'm sure the promo schedule for autumn is already prepared.
  13. Thanks for reminding this interview, Tess. Not much time to listen the guys more attentively but really really want. They do an amazing work for sure, love them for this.
  14. Waiting for his new album. I liked both first solo LPs.
  15. Perfect new cover of Angels.
  16. Also sure it's a new original song
  17. Tess is right, very good choice of songs! Happy for Something Beautiful :) Robbie WilliamsRadio 2's Piano Room Welcoming a true icon of British music, Robbie Williams entertains us with old favourite ā€˜Something Beautiful’, new song ā€˜Human’, and a cover of the 80s TV theme from Minder ā€˜I Could Be So Good For You’, all alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Conductor/Arranger Adam Dennis, in the Radio 2 Piano Room.
  18. It was fast work :) It's better than Be A Boy video but it's not Strong. I think would be better to make a live video but with a studio voice.
  19. I think his father still loves Robbie and what he has reached. Due the fact the original Albert Hall thing was without Pete but Michael and Robbie have decided to implement Pete there means all is good and fine between Rob and Pete and Rob thinks his father took a big part of this success too. Hope Pete's health will be better
