Take That Unveil Video To Forthcoming New Single 'The Flood'

Take That have officially unveiled the full length video for their first single as a five piece in more than 15 years. ITV's Daybreak TV programme aired the video to 'The Flood' earlier this morning and Stereoboard have (just this once!) chosen it for Video Of The Week on our homepage.
Following possibly the most exciting reunion in British pop history, ‘The Flood’ will be the first song from the band’s forthcoming album and will be released through Polydor Records on November 14th digitally and November 15th physically.
There has been speculation and excitement aplenty since the band reformed as a five piece, fuelled recently by pictures of Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie published rowing on the river Thames. If you have seen the video already, you'll see that the pictures were taken from the filming sessions of the video for ‘The Flood’ which was filmed on location at Dorney Lake in Eton and on the Thames outside Westminster. The video was shot by Mat Whitecross who directed the Ian Drury biopic ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock n Roll’ and Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’.
The reunion of reunions took place in New York last September, following Take That’s record-breaking ‘The Circus Live’ tour. Shortly afterwards all five of the original Take That secretly wrote and recorded the six songs which would set the foundation for the forthcoming Stuart Price produced album, which is reportedly being titled 'Progress'.
Take That and Robbie Williams have between them sold over 80 Million albums, played to over 14.5 million people live, won 19 BRIT Awards, had 13 number one albums, 17 number one singles, eight MTV awards and five Ivor Novello awards; and the list goes on… The success they have achieved independently and as a group is extraordinary.
Take That are expected to release some exciting tour news very soon. Next week perhaps! Be sure to check back to Stereoboard for all the details.
