Life with Robbie Williams must seem like a roller coaster. I can’t imagine what being in Britain’s biggest boy band would have been like. He was probably led around by the nose by agents, and handlers. Though successful he stopped doing it. He tried out life with Oasis for a while and then finally settled on going solo. This does seem to be his best idea.
This new release is the first since Rudebox was so rudely unappreciated. the critics just hated it and tore it to absolute pieces. You have to wonder if they did that because he was so successful before. His popularity got him into the Guinness Book of Records for selling concert tickets so fast. Those critics always seem to tire of commercial winners. That could be why they went after they were so hard on Rudebox. A lot of people still bought it.
Robbie was no doubt refreshed by all that time away from the business. I am guessing that Reality Killed The Video Star is his reconnection to his love of music. You have to realize that when you work at something a lot and are pushed relentlessly to do more, you tend to forget the reason why you loved it in the first place. People do not devote themselves to the arts of any kind without having a drive and passion for it that has nothing to do with fame and money.
Williams is currently working along with Trevor Horn who is his current producer and he promises that this will be a killer album; a combination of his older work, his newer work and some aspects of this singer that we have yet to experience. In Reality Killed The Video Star which actually seems like a play on words from Video Killed the Radio Star, there is even a tribute to Michael Jackson.
Fans are truly looking forward to the release of this new album and also the preview of the first single from the album entitled Bodies which will be released to the public on October 12th and the digital version that will be released one day sooner. Fans are hoping for a winner here are so is Williams. Hopefully Bodies will be the first of many hits that will come from this album.
