Robbie Williams draws inspiration from Oasis for latest album
Robbie Williams is making a comeback with his first studio album in nearly ten years, set to release this autumn. The album, titled Britpop, pays homage to the British music scene of the Nineties, a period that Williams holds dear to his heart. This upcoming album marks a significant shift in Williams’ musical style, moving away from his electronic experimentation on previous records like Rudebox and focusing more on a rock-infused sound.
Describing Britpop as the album he has always wanted to create since his departure from Take That in 1995, Williams promises a blend of Britpop and pop influences that he is immensely proud of. Collaborating with some of his musical heroes, Williams infuses the album with raw energy, guitars, and anthemic choruses that promise to ignite the stage during his upcoming Britpop tour.
The lead single from Britpop, titled Rocket, sets the tone for the album with its rock ‘n’ roll style and anthemic chorus. Featuring guitar work from Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi, Rocket captures the essence of Williams’ wild Britpop days, a high-energy track that showcases his evolution as an artist. Fans can expect a return to Williams’ roots with this new record, a collection of tracks that blend the best of Britpop with a contemporary twist.
The album cover for Britpop features a nostalgic image of Williams at Glastonbury Festival in 1995, complete with his iconic bleach-blond hair and trademark style. A playful nod to his past, the cover art captures the essence of Williams’ journey in the music industry, from his early beginnings to his evolution as a performer. Additionally, the artwork includes a subtle dig at eco-protest groups, adding a touch of rebellion to the album’s overall aesthetic.
As Williams prepares to kick off his Britpop tour in the UK, fans can look forward to experiencing the energy and excitement of his new music live on stage. With Rocket as the lead single, Williams sets the stage for a rock-infused tour that promises to be a celebration of his musical legacy. As he gears up to unleash Britpop to the world, Williams invites fans to join him on a musical journey that celebrates the best of British music and pop culture.
