Robbie Williams Announces New Album and Single
Singer Robbie Williams is set to announce his first studio album in almost a decade, titled Britpop, which is aptly named given his love for the Nineties music scene. According to a report from The Sun, the album will be released this autumn and features a more rock-focused sound, with a smattering of pop.
The news was shared by The Sun, which exclusively revealed that Robbie’s 13th record is a long-awaited return to the music scene. The new album is said to be the one Robbie has wanted to make for three decades. In an interview with The Sun, Robbie said: "I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there — and there is certainly some ‘pop’, too. I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear it."
The Album’s Sound and Collaborations
Robbie’s new album features collaborations with some of his heroes, including Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi, who plays guitar on the rock ‘n’ roll-style song Rocket. The single, which is out now, has an anthemic chorus and is said to be Robbie’s rockiest offering yet. The Sun reported that the song has everything you could ever want from a Robbie tune, with a catchy and upbeat melody.
Album Cover Art and Tour
The album cover art is a playful nod to Robbie’s past, featuring a picture of him at Glastonbury Festival in 1995, with bleach-blond hair, red Adidas jacket, and a tooth missing. The image is presented as if it were on display in an art gallery, with two demonstrators in bright orange "Just Stop Pop" T-shirts vandalizing the artwork. Robbie’s upcoming Britpop tour, which kicks off next week in Edinburgh, will feature songs from the new album.
Robbie’s Inspiration and Influences
Robbie has often cited his love for the Britpop scene, and it’s clear that this album is a labour of love. He told The Sun: "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." The album promises to be a return to form for Robbie, with a rock ‘n’ roll sound that’s sure to delight fans.
