I’ve just heard the latest Robbie
Williams song. It’s terrible. The main backing beat is a tinny drum with big
bass that sounds like someone’s been bouncing a basketball around the recording
studio. The main chorus seems to be of the Red Army marching through Red
Square. Amazingly, it is called Party
Like a Russian but it’s just so dross and dull, and the lyrics echo the
format of an earlier song called Too
Gentle. Chris Evans thought that It was amazing, but perhaps that’s because
he’s watching the video of the Russian dancers, or maybe it’s because Robbie is
making a guest appearance on his show next week. The trouble with established
artists is that when they run out of novel material they try to sell themselves
on their name alone and hope that this is enough to ride on the next wave of
pop sales. Having heard this on the radio, I’m not going to rush out and buy it,
and for Robbie’s sake I really hope that this isn’t one of his feature tracks
on his new album.
