Robbie Williams Interview

Reality Killed The Video Star is Rob’s eighth studio album and his first in over three years.

 

Asked what we can expect from his new material Robbie explained: “Electronica, ballads, (tracks with a) 70’s rocky kinda feel. I’m all over the shop musically once again with this album.”

 

He continued: “It could’ve all gone west. I don’t know if people have got their ears on for me but I’m knocking at the door going- do you want some of this again or not?

 

“I’m alright if you don’t like it or if you do. I think the next couple of months will define the rest of my life.”

 

Since 2006 Williams has spent most of his time in LA and has rarely appeared in the papers.

 

Talking about his new single Bodies the former Take That man revealed what he’s been up to whilst living in the States.

 

“The song itself is a big conspiracy-laden song. Its where my head’s been for the last 3 years, on the internet watching films like Zeitgeist, The God That Wasn’t There and 9/11 Was An Inside Job.”

 

Robbie nearly themed the Bodies video around conspiracies but explained: “they (the public) would have said- ‘he’s definitely gone mental.’ So I said, ‘what do you think we should do?’ And they (label or management) said ‘lets do an aftershave advert’ and I’m like, ‘cool!’”

 

Asked what it would take for him to view Reality Killed The Video Star as a success he told MTV:

 

“A lot of people going and buying it and taking it home and going, yep! But also a general sense of, ‘he’s back on form’- that would be good enough for me.”
