Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams, the singer, has announced a number of things about his new album, 'Heavy Entertainment Show'.

For a start it's out on November 4, while that image of Robbie vs Robbie you can hopefully see above is the artwork.

The title track, meanwhile, is online right now and here's a trailer thing that 'premiered' during The X Factor:

The words below represent the album's track­list­ing for both the standard and 'deluxe' version:

HEAVY ENTERTAINMENT SHOW
PARTY LIKE A RUSSIAN
MIXED SIGNALS
LOVE MY LIFE
MOTHERFUCKER
BRUCE LEE
SENSITIVE
DAVID’S SONG
PRETTY WOMAN
HOTEL CRAZY (FEATURING RUFUS WAINWRIGHT)
SENSATIONAL

'Deluxe version'

WHEN YOU KNOW
TIME ON EARTH
I DON’T WANT TO HURT YOU (DUET WITH JOHN GRANT)
BEST INTENTIONS
MARRY ME

The album features songs co-written with Stuart Price, Guy Chambers, Brandon Flowers, Ed Sheeran, John Grant, Rufus Wainwright and Serge Gainsbourg (!).

Here's a quote from Robbie himself about it all:

“I was musing over the phrase ‘light enter­tain­ment’ — all the huge TV shows from when I was a kid, 30 million people watching them, this huge shared exper­i­ence of these moments called light enter­tain­ment. Sometimes it can be leveled at people in a bad way, but for me that’s heavy enter­tain­ment. That’s what I’m hoping to do with this album – to have a shared exper­i­ence with millions of people though the medium of light entertainment…but on steroids.”

Great.
