Robbie Williams' thoughts on Britpop
Williams described his motivation behind the new record at a launch event in London. The album is his first collection of original songs in almost a decade, representing a conscious return to his roots.
On returning to his musical origins, Williams said:
"I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British music".
He also commented on his musical direction. He said he'd been "a bit aimless for a little while" and spent the last 15 years "looking backwards". This new album gives him a chance to "clear the decks, go back to the start and head off from there".
Rise to fame with Take That.
Williams, born in Stoke-on-Trent on February 13, 1974, joined Take That in 1990 at age 16.
Initially known for his "cheeky chappie" persona, Williams's presence helped the group achieve stardom in the early to mid-1990s.
He sang lead vocals on tracks such as "Could It Be Magic," "I Found Heaven," and "Everything Changes".
In July 1995, Williams left the band, leading to a period of highly publicized partying.
Hugely successful solo career
After leaving the group, Williams launched a solo career with a cover of George Michael's "Freedom" in 1996.
His debut album, Life Thru A Lens (1997), featured "Angels," which propelled him to international fame and remains his best-selling single.
He released a string of hit albums and singles throughout the late 90s and 2000s, including "Millennium," "Rock DJ," and "Feel".
In 2003, his three record-breaking concerts at Knebworth drew over 375,000 people, the largest music event in UK history at the time.
In 2002, he signed an £80 million deal with EMI, then the biggest music contract in British history.
Take That reunions and later career
After a 15-year break, Williams rejoined Take That for the 2010 album Progress and its accompanying stadium tour.
Following the reunion, he continued to focus on his solo work, but the door for future collaborations has remained open.
In 2022, he released XXV, a compilation album of his hits re-recorded with an orchestra, which became his 14th solo number one album in the UK.
He later received his 15th solo Number 1 album with the soundtrack for the 2024 biopic Better Man.
In 2023, Netflix released a documentary that provided an intimate look into his life and career, using 25 years of exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage.
