Lead single from Robbie Williams upcoming release, 'Reality Killed The Video Star'. Good song that seems to have fairly obvious inflections of old Motown soul pop!I really like the title of Williams' album; Obviously a play on The Buggles 1979 release 'Video Killed The Radio Star', I think Williams is aptly describing the current change in media formats much in the same way The Buggles describ...

Reality Killed the Video Star: Robbie WilliamsHow are we to read the rune of Robbie Williams’s comeback album? Produced by synth-pop godfather Trevor Horn, the title of Williams’s seventh album nods towards Horn’s own greatest hit of 1979, Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”. Depending on how you interpret “reality” – and we’re guessing Williams [...]

By Dominic Walsh - Timesonline.co.ukEMI, the music group behind Norah Jones and Coldplay, will announce plans tomorrow to scrap the system whereby each of its record labels has its own support function in a move that is likely to cost up to 2,000 jobs. The restructuring, which has prompted a wave of protest from artists including Robbie Williams, is being pushed through by Guy Hands, boss of th...

There are just so many odd and amusing things to this album. Besides the perverse attempts at rapping and the two highly indulgent autobiographical tracks toward the end the album, there's "Bongo Bong," which sounds like Robbie Williams's tribute to Gorillaz, but featuring complete gibberish vocals before switching to French halfway through. And then there are two songs that are effectively P...

I swear some day I will actually up date this thing with something other than Robbie. But right now I'm listening to Feel. And I was just remembering seeing Robbie perform it live at Knebworth three years ago. It's definitely a very powerful song to hear live. And we may have been three bajillion miles away from the stage, but that song. When he sang it, it sent shivers up my spine. It had the ...

I have to say I've been quite disappointed with 'Intensive Care' and 'Rudebox'. But listening to 'Sing when you're winning makes me remember why I loved Bob in the first place. I am a Take That graduate. And I have followed Robbie all of his solo career. Not obsessively just enough to call myself a fan I guess. But I think this song 'Better Man' will always stand out to me as one of his best. I...

Can't say I'm a fan, his music is not my cup of coffee, which I prefer dark. He does have my liking for having "addiction" written all over his forehead. However, I fancy 2 songs of his. The first one is Love Supreme that I adore, which happens to have a very good vid as well:The other song of his I like is Rock DJ. Here's its uncut version, in which he demonstrates creativity in pleasing (carn...

EMI is having some problems with its artists and their managers. Earlier this week we reported on the label firing their artist-friendly CEO Tony Wadsworth and rumors that Coldplay, like Radiohead and Paul McCartney before them, would leave the label. Now it seems that another major seller, Robbie Williams, is putting his foot down against the financial restructuring of the label, which was pur...
