'Jiggy… but a bit too rhymey'

So, Robbie Williams has brought a new song out. And this is apparently big news! Apart from being all over local and national radio, it has made national newspapers and is even featured on the BBC News website homepage – must be a slow day today?!

The single, which has been much awaited by, oooh about 5 people, starts off very well. It has a very funky beat courtesy of the seminal producer Trevor Horn. Soon it becomes very “Robbie” which is no bad thing – but in my opinion, the two don’t really mix.

The rest of the office have provided very mixed reviews – Project Management said “yeah… it’s alright” and “it’s quite jiggy but a bit too rhymey”, George said “I’m really liking it” and me, well, it could be a grower. Amanda though, our Account Director was vehement about the song. She has promised to make us all listen to it until we love it as much as she does. She’s already planning on buying tickets for any forthcoming Robbie tour and has considered emailing the man himself to suggest that he doesn’t rejoin Take That until he’s re-established himself as a solo artist.

I will be very intrigued to see what comes out next. I can’t see any of his material being as big a hit as some of Take That’s more recent records but then Robbie has surprised before. Remember when he left Take That and everyone thought he’d fail? Then came Angels! Maybe he could pull off a similar triumph with this album? Only time will tell… I’ll keep you posted!
