Nice ❤️ If There's Not A Song About It

U2 members Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr follow English singers Paul McCartney, Sting and Kate Bush as well American rocker Bruce Springsteen in receiving an Ivors Academy Fellowship, the highest honour bestowed by the Britain-based association. They are the first Irish songwriters to do so. “When we gathered in Larry Mullen’s kitchen in 1976, this was unimaginable - we never thought that the band could be this old,” Clayton, 65, said on stage. “We had the most basic of talents, but we believed that songs could take us anywhere because we’d already been to so many places, we just had to tell our story.” At the ceremony in London, Charli XCX, 32, was named Songwriter of the Year in recognition of her hit album Brat, which inspired a cultural phenomenon. But Brat lost out in the Album of the Year category to Berwyn’s Who Am I, with the judges hailing that record’s “vivid storytelling that transcends generations, race and social differences, offering a voice to those often unseen by society”. Best Contemporary Song went to singer Sans Soucis’ Circumnavigating Georgia, while Irish singer Orla Gartland’s Mine won Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Smith’s viral hit, Stargazing, won the Most Performed category. Williams, whose hits include Angels (1997) and Let Me Entertain You (1998), won the Music Icon Award “in recognition of a songwriting career that has touched millions and defined a generation”. “I’m just compelled to keep searching for the perfect pop tune and also compelled to express myself and try and get whatever’s inside out for whatever reason that is,” the 51-year-old told Reuters when asked how his songwriting had evolved over his career. American rock band The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers took the Special International Award, with judges describing the 43-year-old as “one of the most influential songwriters of his generation” for lyrics he penned for the band as well as for his solo work. British singer Lola Young, 24, who had led nominations with three nods, took the Rising Star Award. Named after the early 20th century Welsh composer, actor and entertainer Ivor Novello, the Ivor Awards were first handed out in 1956.

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/

ROCKET [Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] And I hurt, but it's worth it, I guess I deserve it I secretly love it, I can't stop getting off it It burns, and it burns, and it burns, and it burns And you die, or you learn, or you're just wasting your turn And I can't, and I'm maimed, and I don't explain It's a fame, it's a shame, it's the name of the game And it works, and it works, and it works, and it works Till it's don't, then it hurts and then it keeps getting worse [Chorus] I just wanna be your rocket What a time to be alive, what a time to be alive What to do with your big fat life? Are you gonna let it blow your mind? I just wanna be your rocket [Verse 2] If you're coming for me, better come for the head Who knows when it's over, we'll see when you're dead If I get up my face and I take out my clothes I can leave you with nothing, that's all we can do [Chorus] I just wanna be your rocket What a time to be alive, what a time to be alive What to do with your big fat life, are you gonna let it blow your mind? I just wanna be your rocket [Bridge] I'm a disgrace and I do deserve it But look at your face, nobody's perfect What a waste, what a waste and I'm proper worthless And I get it all out when I'm feeling nervous [Chorus] I just wanna be your rocket What a time to be alive, what a time to be alive What to do with your big fat life, are you gonna let it blow your mind? I just wanna be your rocket I just wanna be your rocket [Outro] Be, be, be your rocket Be, be, be your rocket Be, be, be your rocket Lyrics thanks to Robbie Williams – Rocket Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

& Is this another teaser from the album. ❤️ .I hope he has just gone for it with this album. I am just thinking back to the gig he did at The Roundhouse & we heard all those amazing songs that never made an album. . Video thanks to Darby Link in post below

How cool is this 😊 About a month ago, I was on a long Take That binge, probably started around the time Robbie William's bio-pic was released. You know....the one with the monkey. As a fan of Robbie's solo music and also Take That, I'm ashamed to admit I haven't watched it yet, but it did lead me to not only discover songs of theirs I've never heard before but also re-discover songs of theirs I already loved, like Back For Good. I don't know if they're the most underated boy band of the 90s ( I think 98 Degrees still hold that title), but I do think they're definitely the most underrated British boyband. Sorry, 911, I still love you. https://www.instagram.com/artsypablobeanz/

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.

According to The SUN the official video for ROCKET drops this coming Friday

ROB'S ROCKING RECORD Robbie Williams’ new album is inspired by his wild Britpop days with Oasis and rocky new track out nowOne rock ’n’ roll-style song has an anthemic chorus and features a Black Sabbath icon Jack Hardwick, Senior Showbiz Reporter. Published: 7:40, 21 May 2025 IT’S back to the future for Robbie Williams. The British chart-topper will today announce his first studio album in almost a decade — and brand new track Rocket, which is out now and the video will drop on Friday. Robbie Williams will today announce his first studio album in almost a decade Credit: Getty Featuring Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi on guitar, the rock ’n’ roll-style song has an anthemic chorus Credit: Getty Bizarre can exclusively reveal that Robbie’s 13th record is aptly called Britpop — harking back to his love of the Nineties. It’s set for release this autumn, and the Rock DJ singer says this is the album he has wanted to make for three decades. Rather than being a return to his electronic days of Rudebox, the new record is more rock-focused. ‘Upbeat and anthemic’But there’s still a smattering of pop in there for good measure. And judging by the album’s first track, Rocket, this is his rockiest offering ever. Robbie said: “I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. “It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British music. “I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album. “I also can’t wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming ‘Britpop’ tour — which I’m opening in the UK, naturally.” In a world-exclusive first listen, Bizarre’s Jack has already heard Rocket and is happy to report it has everything you could ever want from a Robbie tune. In fact, you can just picture Rob on stage strutting about to the — dare we say it? — Oasis-inspired track. Featuring Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi on guitar, the rock ’n’ roll-style song has an anthemic chorus which will no doubt go down a storm on Rob’s upcoming stadium tour, which kicks off next week in Edinburgh. But good luck trying to learn the verses to the single, which travel as fast as the speed of light. Eco-loon digThe new album’s cover art is also classic Rob. It shows a picture of him at Glastonbury Festival in 1995 — with bleach-blond hair, red Adidas jacket and a tooth missing — as if the image were on display in an art gallery. In a playful dig at eco-protest group Just Stop Oil, two demonstrators in bright orange “Just Stop Pop” T-shirts can be seen ambushing the artwork, as one throws pink paint over it and another snaps the damage on their phone. Recalling that infamous festival trip to Somerset’s Worthy Farm — during which he very much cut loose — Robbie has previously said: “I set off with a flute full of champagne and a pocket full of cocaine, ready to get insane in the membrane, and I went to Glastonbury to begin what I didn’t know was to be the start of my new life. “When I was there, I hung out with this lot [Oasis].” He might not be quite as rock ’n’ roll these days — but the music certainly is.

Robbie Williams & Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi Team Up On ‘Rocket’by James Wilson-Taylor | May 21, 2025 Robbie Williams has recruited metal legend Tony Iommi on his latest single, ‘Rocket’. The Black Sabbath icon performs on the track which is taken from Williams’ forthcoming album ‘Britpop’, said to be inspired by UK artists and the rock of the mid 90s. Williams said “It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music. I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album.” No word yet on who the other collaborators on the album may be but Robbie Williams has previously collaborated with SOFT PLAY on their track ‘Punk’s Dead’ so hopefully ‘Rocket’ will not be the only heavy moment he has lined up.

Williams, at the sprightly age of 51, will serenade soccer fans with an exclusive song just before the curtain-raiser clash between Al Ahly and Inter Miami on June 15. Known for his undying love for the beautiful game, Williams is a die-hard Manchester United enthusiast and maintains a cordial kinship with former German footie ace Toni Kroos. Moreover, he's the proud president of Port Vale FC, the pride of Stoke-on-Trent, which competes in England's esteemed League Two.
