Description

Robbie Williams returns on November 9th after a 3 year break with his eighth studio album Reality Killed The Video Star, and its one of the most anticipated Pop CDs of 2009 where well see if he can reclaim his success after the relatively poorly received Rudebox album. Since his exit from Take That Robbie has sold more albums in the UK than any other solo artist with sales in excess of 55 million, and is in the Guinness Book Of Records for selling the most amount of concert tickets in 1 day when he sold 1.6 million in 24 hours. Its safe to say this is set to be one of the biggest comebacks this year.

Reality Killed The Video Star see Robbie team up with producer Trevor Horn (Pet Shop Boys, Seal, Frankie Goes To Hollywood etc.), as well as writing songs Mark Ronson as well as a reunion with Guy Chambers who has worked with him since the early albums. The album is described by Robbie as buzzing, it sounds big. Very, very big! as well as "My album's a killer: old Robbie, new Robbie and a Robbie that neither of us have met... I really hope it's as good as I think it is.....We'll see... I'm sure you'll let me know". The first track taken from the new album will be Bodies.

Comments about EMI Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the..:

The album that shows the musical maturity of Robbie Williams. It perhaps misses the great song able to drag the sales and it's also true that 10 songs are some few ("Somewhere" is only one minute long and "Morning Sun reprise" it is a brief tail) but it deal with suggestive songs and of really great quality.

    Comments about EMI Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the..:

    Robbie Williams' 2009 CD was a nice return to his unique sound, but it is not an essential RW album. The first three tracks are entertaining, but not his best. His new singles written by Gary Barlow are more entertaining to me. The rest of the CD is listenable but not spectacular. Recommended for RW fans. For newcomers, I suggest starting with his debut album, Life Thru a Lens, which is by far my favorite CD of his.

        I admit I bought this from the 'bargain bin' and I'm not sure I would have bought it at full price but ths songs grow on you and you find yourself singing along in the car. I don't think it is as good an album as Robbie in his heyday but still a good listen on a long car journey or if you're pottering round the house.

                Songs like "Morning Sun", "Bodies" and "You know me" are all great solid RW songs. Unfortunately I can't say that I remember too many of the other songs despite having listened to the album at least 10 times so far.

                Still, if you are a RW fan, it is of course a must. No doubt!
