After signing with
Universal Music in October 2011, UK Music Hall of Fame’s Greatest Artist of the
90s, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, arrives with his forthcoming ninth studio album
entitled “TAKE THE CROWN”, set for nationwide release on November 19,
2012 under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).
The album takes flight by the lead single, "CANDY", a brilliantly
addictive classic pop song Robbie wrote with former Take That band mate, Gary
Barlow. “It’s a summer song about a girl
who thinks she’s great. And she might be, but she’s a bit nefarious with her
ways. Some songs take an age to write and some songs just fall out of your
mouth completely formed, and you don’t have to think about it. I don’t know why
that fell out of my mouth and out of my brain at that particular time – it just
did,” explains Robbie.
“TAKE THE CROWN” will also feature
the original demo version of Take That's "Eight Letters", which is
entirely performed by Robbie. It will be his first solo album in three years
after his return to Take That in 2010. “After
the Take That reunion – a busman’s holiday, a break from my career which
re-energised me in many, many ways – I wanted to come back with a massive solo
album," states Robbie. "My
main priority was to write what I consider, and hopefully what the world would
consider, to be hits. I’m very excited”. Besides “CANDY” and “Eight Letters”, ROBBIE
WILLIAMS also treats us to some ear
candy with other promising songs included in the album like “Shit On the
Radio”, “All That I Want”, “Hunting for You”, “Hey Wow Yeah Yeah” and “Reverse”
among others.
Why “TAKE
THE CROWN”? "I want to create an
impression that I'm fully in with this album. I want to dominate the charts. I
want to take on the world. I want to be a top pop star. I'm re-energised and
it's called Take the Crown for that
reason," says Robbie.
ROBBIE
