“It’s a summer song…about a girl who thinks she’s great. And she might be, but she’s a bit nefarious with her ways. Some songs take an age to write and some songs just fall out of your mouth completely formed, and you don’t have to think about it. I don’t know why that fell out of my mouth and out of my brain at that particular time – it just did.”
Not that I know him or anything, but THIS is how I would imagine Robbie Williams in his regular, every day life; silly, funny, a little bit naughty. Co-written by Robbie and his Take That band mate Gary Barlow (along with Terje Olsen) and produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Two Door Cinema Club), “Candy” is a personality-filled and very sweet little sampling of what fans can expect on Robbie’s forthcoming NINTH studio album, Take The Crown, due out November 5th via Universal Records.
“Take The Crown is the big, brash, confident Robbie Williams pop record that his fans have been longing for but maybe didn’t dare expect. If it had a sub-title it would be ’In Case You’d Forgotten’. Not wishing to denigrate the art of the record executive, but Island may as well have chosen the lead single by chucking a dart at the inlay sleeve. They couldn’t have missed. Because there are no misses. Just hits – huge pop hits.”
Quite the RINGING endorsement, no? This little write-up and new single, “Candy” certainly have whet my appetite for Take The Crown. The album will be available in two formats, standard and deluxe, as well as on double vinyl. Pre-order Take The Crown here (iTunes UK) and download it November 5th. You can also pre-order the “Candy” (iTunes UK) EP, due October 28th and featuring remixes by Max Sanna & Steve Pitron, Major Look and an alternate version of the single, simply labeled “More Candy.” For more info on the album, including pre-ordering and track listings, check out Robbie’s official website. In the meantime, scope out the video for “Candy” BELOW.
