Robbie Williams travels back to the 90s for new music video “Pretty Face”
Robbie Williams has unveiled a new music video for his latest single, ‘Pretty Face,’ featuring a nostalgic premise that transports the audience back to the 1990s. In this innovative visualizer, Robbie dons his famous red tracksuit, taking on his former self from the ’90s as he reimagines his performance on the iconic TV show, ‘The Word.’ Directed by Charlie Lightening and boasting impressive production values and visual effects crafted by AIST, the video immerses viewers in an era when The Word showcased groundbreaking acts like Nirvana, Oasis, and the Happy Mondays.
Describing the experience, Robbie expressed his profound connection to the show, labelling it his ‘DeLorean Moment’ back to 1995. This journey serves as an homage to The Word, a late-night platform that introduced countless viewers to significant musical acts of the time. In Robbie’s own words, if his upcoming album ‘BRITPOP’ represents a musical statement, then The Word would have been the accompanying visual counterpart, now brought to life virtually in this imaginative recreation.
‘Pretty Face’ serves as the sixth single from Robbie’s forthcoming album, ‘BRITPOP,’ set to be released on February 6, 2026. A culmination of previous tracks such as ‘Desire,’ ‘Pocket Rocket,’ ‘Rocket,’ ‘Spies,’ and ‘Human,’ the album promises to be a compelling new addition to Robbie’s discography.
In addition to his music video unveiling, Robbie recently treated his fans to a special preview of his ‘BRITPOP’ album at a unique underplay at Dingwalls. In a surreal atmosphere, Robbie graced the stage with a full-throttle performance, a rare treat for attendees deprived of live music experiences for quite some time.

This comprehensive collection represents a musical tapestry that blends Robbie’s artistry with the spirit of the iconic ’90s Britpop scene.
As the release date for ‘BRITPOP’ draws near, fans can anticipate diving deeper into the musical landscape that Robbie Williams has meticulously crafted.
