Robbie Williams New Album - Rudebox

'The Actor'is a stomping Germanic electro-pop anthem that fits equally as well on dancefloors, as it does lamenting Hollywood flunkeys whilst 'Kiss Me' takes Stephen Duffy's 80's classic and re-invents it as a Hi-energy electro pop anthem. Fulfilling a long-time ambition of a collaboration he joins forces with ambient legend William Orbit in recording two tracks here, 'Summertime', a fuzzy euphoric Balearic anthem that was actually one of the first songs he wrote when he went solo 10 years ago and an emotive and faithful cover of the Human League's 'Louise'. 'Louise' of course has been long documented as one of his favourite songs, and a muse in the construction of last years 'Intensive Care' album (which has now sold in excess of 6.5 million copies worldwide.)

Inspired by The Mitchell Brothers, Ian Dury and Mike Skinner and their rolling Prowse and recorded into an I-book in Rob's bedroom in LA, 'The 80's' & 'The 90's', see him joined by long-term bass player Jerry Meehan to document 15 years of his life in song. 'The 80's' bounces along on to a braggadier's swagger that tips at a hat to the glorious days of early LL cool J, Eazy E, Flavor Flav in his own poetic biographical comfy-rap monologue. 'The 90's' documents the Take That years in a frank, personal and open display of sonic-catharsis over an uptempo pop classic. It's a powerful and reflective moment, and perhaps not the frenzied bitch fest that some might have liked.
