Robbie Williams - Tripping

'Tripping', the first single to be lifted from the album 'Intensive Care' is released on October 3rd 2005.

Erroneously described in the press as Robbie Williams' reggae song, 'Tripping's' rolling rhythm actually owes a greater debt to the early work of The Clash.

"It's something like a mini gangster opera," Robbie says, "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch combined." The chorus features a tight-trousered falsetto that climbs the scales like a fireman climbs a ladder, and almost touches disco on its lofty ascent. Tripping alongside 2004's 'Radio', is one of his more idiosyncratic creations.

'Intensive Care' was recorded in Robbie Williams' bedroom high in the Hollywood Hills and co-written with Stephen Duffy over the course of 24 months. In this time, the pair were wildly experimental, creating songs that sounded, variously, like Gang Of Four, Bloc Party and Kraftwerk, before finally settling on a style that they felt most comfortable with. It is his eighth album and is released by EMI on Monday 24th October 2005.
