Following yesterday's radio première of new single 'Candy', Robbie Williams has today unveiled the accompanying video.
As Robbie Williams looks to the future with the release of 'Take The Crown' – his ninth studio album and his first for Island/Universal – it might also be interesting to remember his considerable achievements so far.
In a career strewn with awards, Robbie has quite simply sold more records than any other British solo artist in history. Having sold a staggering 60 million albums over his solo career, Robbie has also won more Brit awards than any other artist in history (a grand total of 17, to be precise).
Six of his albums appear in the all time top 100 biggest selling albums in the UK whilst Williams appears in the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million concert tickets in a day in 2006.
In 2010 Robbie Williams won the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award at the BRITS; later that year his reformation with Take That led to their album becoming the fastest selling album of the century.
Since then Robbie has been working on his brand new solo album, recorded in Los Angeles with producer Jacknife Lee. The orchestra on the album was recorded at the fabled Capitol Studios in LA.
'Take The Crown' tracklisting is as follows:
Be A Boy
Gospel
Candy
Different
Shit On The Radio
All That I Want
Hunting For You
Into The Silence
Hey Wow Yeah Yeah
Not Like The Others
Losers (featuring Lissie)
The album is preceded by the single 'Candy', released on October 29th. Speaking about the track, written with Gary Barlow, Robbie says: “It’s a summer song, very much in a similar vein to ‘Rock DJ’, 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”
'Take The Crown' will be Robbie's first new record since 2009's 'Reality Killed The Video Star'. In addition, Robbie has revealed plans for an intimate UK tour later this month, announcing four shows for the UK and Ireland. Shows are confirmed for Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin and Southend.
