so it's all part of a big strategy to make you like it before turning your nose up at the idea of 'Robbie doing dance'!.

Блин, ну клоунада же... : / Ну зачем весь этот маскарад, если до его начала всем все было известно, пусть и не до 100% точности. Как с мтсовскими яйцами, чесслово. Каждый второй уже в курсе, что к чему, а они все типа интригу держат.

А мне всегда казалось, что все, что Робби делает - это клоунада )

А что касается музыки - я не поклонник диско, дэнс, хаус и рэп стилей, но я рада, что Роб не останавливается на месте.

Intensive Care, который я считаю наиболее зрелым альбомом.

лично я соглашусь полностью

Robbie Williams returns to business with the release of a brand new single ‘RUDEBOX’ on September 4th on EMI Records. ‘RUDEBOX’ is the first single to be taken from his forthcoming new studio album, which will follow soon after. ‘RUDEBOX’ is a nasty, dirty, bass infused electro-funk-pop monster produced and written with fellow Stoke On Trent natives/compadres Soul Mekanik aka Danny Spencer & Kelvin Andrews.

“RUDEBOX is wonky pop music, influenced by the underground,” says Andrews, “It was just three lads from Stoke having fun in the studio, no rules and no knobheads.” Forged around a sample from Sly & Robbie’s seminal ‘Boops (Here To Go)’ and twisted around his own unique visceral lyrical stylings, the result is the sound of our Rob jamming the electro-boogaloo on a bustling New York street corner in 1983. The sound is unmistakably fresh, and unmistakably Robbie Williams! It could be no other.

“RUDEBOX is loads of different things, sometimes it could be a vibe delivered in a spaceship direct to the studio, sometimes it’s a really nasty girl dancing scantily clad, or sometimes it’s a giant Soundsystem…Sometimes it’s actually just a box that tells you to fuck off! too” adds RW.

‘RUDEBOX’ sets the tone for the album which as previously reported also see’s Robbie collaborating with the likes of The Pet Shop Boys, William Orbit and Mark Ronson and a host of others, on both new original compositions and covers of some of his favourite tracks. This is perhaps the most definitive Robbie Williams opus to date, where his truest personal and musical inspirations collide to create an intimate and explorative sound that will surprise some, but after eight albums, this here is the sound of Robert Peter Williams, born 1974 in Stoke On Trent, UK.

“They might say its “dance” or it’s “electro” but it’s just what I like! It started off as a busman’s holiday this time around, but it’s become something on which I’ve found myself. I was just doing my YTS up till now,” he adds.

‘RUDEBOX’ has begun to blaze a trail of its own right on dancefloors across the world, with early mixes and dubs from the likes of Soul Mekanik, Chicken Lips & Riton already receiving support from the likes of Pete Tong (Radio1), James Hyman (XFM), and DJ luminaries as broad as Sasha, John Digweed, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Boris Dlugosch & Sarah Main to name but a handful. The initial white-label release has already charted in the highly respected Buzz, Cool Cuts & Zzub club charts and continues to grow on a daily basis.

RW is in the midst of his record-breaking ‘Close Encounters’ World tour that hits the UK in September.

Do the RUDEBOX, get your rocks off, lose your shit and get nasty… ‘RUDEBOX’ is released on EMI Records on September 4th 2006.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS’ new track Rudebox is not only the worst song by him I’ve heard, it’s the worst record I’ve EVER heard (and believe me, I’ve had to listen to some sh*te in the past).
I’m not allowed to put the track on a phone line for legal reasons, but to give you an idea of what it’s like, try to imagine you and your mates messing around in your bedroom with a drum machine while comedy “rapping” over the top.
The only difference is Robbie is actually allowed to release this rubbish because he has a record deal. It shouldn’t be allowed on grounds of taste.
Whereas Madonna and Kylie came up with brilliant tracks such as Music and Slow when they branched out from pop to dance, Robbie’s attempt is a tuneless electro dirge that sounds like someone randomly slapping all the presets on a cheap Casio keyboard.
When he’s rapped on records in the past, Robbie has got away with it because he’s then sung a rousing or catchy chorus which is the climax of the song.
But I’m afraid Rudebox has him “rapping” all the way through. Frankly it’s a load of, um, ’rap.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m a huge fan of Robbie’s music. Angels, Come Undone, Rock DJ, No Regrets, Millennium and the genius Feel are all modern classics which will stand the test of time.
And I thought his performances at Knebworth and Live 8 were world-class — he’s a sensational showman.
But I’m sorry — this record is probably one of the worst in history. Actually, it is THE worst in history.
No doubt Robbie will be so incensed at this review that he will slap a ban on me being sent the rest of the album ahead of its release. I’ll let you know if he does.
In the past he’s not taken kindly to criticism.
Rudebox is taken from his new dance album, 1974, which I’ve heard has some great material on it.
He’s worked with the PET SHOP BOYS, DJ MARK RONSON and brilliant producer WILLIAM ORBIT on it and I hope the CD’s other tracks make up for this truly awful single.
