ROBBIE WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES BRAND NEW ALBUM ‘BRITPOP’
THE NEW ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED ON COLUMBIA RECORDS THIS AUTUMN AND IS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW
THE FIRST SONG TO BE RELEASED FROM THE ALBUM IS ‘ROCKET’ FEATURING ROCK MUSIC LEGEND TONY IOMMI
THE ‘BRITPOP’ STADIUM TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK IN EDINBURGH BEFORE MORE SUMMER DATES ACROSS THE UK, IRELAND AND EUROPE
Robbie Williams has today announced his brand new album ‘BRITPOP’ which will be released on Columbia Records this autumn. The album is available to pre-order now.
The first song to be released from the album is ‘Rocket’ which features Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi on guitar. The high octane rock track features an instantly anthemic chorus, pounding drums and a signature guitar solo from the heavy metal pioneer. The track, which is written by Robbie, Karl Brazil, Tony Iommi and Tom Longworth, is available now, while the accompanying video will be released this Friday. In the video, Robbie can be seen wearing a punk-inspired outfit – red tartan trousers, heavy chain necklace and a leather biker jacket covered in graffiti – while he moves around several London landmarks accompanied by a flash mob, while other scenes were shot with Robbie and Tony Iommi together in the latter’s hometown, Birmingham.
The album’s cover artwork is a nod to the album title featuring a painting of one of Robbie’s most iconic looks – his red tracksuit outfit that he wore to attend Glastonbury Festival in 1995 at the height of the Britpop era. ‘BRITPOP’ will be available in a variety of formats including CD, deluxe CD, cassette, alt cassette and digitally, while signed bundles will also be available for a limited time via the official Robbie Williams store.
On ‘BRITPOP’ Robbie says: “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. I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album. I also can’t wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming ‘BRITPOP’ tour, which I’m opening in the UK, naturally.”
Robbie’s highly anticipated ‘BRITPOP’ stadium tour will see the global icon perform in cities across the UK, Ireland and Europe this summer – the first opportunity for fans to hear the new song ‘Rocket’ played live. The tour, originally titled ‘Robbie Williams Live 2025’ and now renamed ‘BRITPOP’, will open next week in Edinburgh on May 31, before visiting London, Manchester and Bath. The tour then continues across Europe with dates in countries including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden.
