What a chart topping duo - just a shame about the song...
Spyke
Fifteen years ago pop music experienced one of the biggest break ups of 90s as Robbie Williams left Take That. The four piece continued for another year before calling it a day only to re-unite ten years later with the 'Beautiful World'. In the absence of the band Robbie took over the lime light with a million seller, 6 of the UK's biggest albums ever and a little thing at Knebworth. Since then we've witnessed one of the greatest comebacks ever with Patience, Shine, Greatest Day and the incredible Rule The World. Then whilst touring Europe this summer I heard the news that the band were finally re-uniting as a five piece. Watch out for a post on their first single The Flood when it drops later this year.
In the meantime we have this offering as the two powerhouses of Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow join forces to give us . . . a nice ballad. As the lead from Robbie's upcoming greatest hits it's quite clear this is the track to complete the cycle and show the transition back to re-joining the band. There's some enjoyable harmonising between the two pre-chorus but when my Nanna quoted the song 'Words come easy when they're true' this morning; it just made me think how much of an easy listening radio 2 track the song is. Lets just hope there's better to come from this project.
Then there's the music video: a depiction of Williams and Barlow coming together again which goes a little bit too Broke-back Mountain for my liking.
