Singer Robbie Williams has revealed that he thinks that the next couple of months will define the rest of his life.
The Angels singer’s new single Bodies has just been released, and his first album in over three years, Reality Killed The Video Star, is due out soon.
Williams said his new material consists of “electronica, ballads, [tracks with a] 1970s, rocky kind of feel. I’m all over the shop musically once again with this album.”
The 35-year-old added: “It could’ve all gone west. I don’t know if people have got their ears on for me, but I’m knocking at the door, going: ‘Do you want some of this again or not?’
“I’m alright if you don’t like it or if you do. I think the next couple of months will define the rest of my life.”
Williams has recently returned to the UK to make his comeback, after living moving to the States in 2006.
Tori Amos has dabbled in a couple of Yuletide carols but could a full length album of holiday tunes be on the way for the artist? There has been no official word from the singer or her people but Universal Republic has listed an album titled ‘Christmas’ from Tori which is set to be released on November. That’s pretty interesting. I’m itching for any of her music. I love Tori Amos period. But then again, a full album of holiday music from her doesn’t sound very appealing to me. I guess I’ll figure things out when I hear even just a bit of that Christmas music from her.

While Queen has expressed their consideration of Adam Lambert to become their permanent front man, the American Idol runner up has high hopes for his solo album. He recently shared his plans to record, saying “Labels tend to try to put one box around every artist and keep them in one genre, but I think [my album] can be a collection of different styles. I don’t want to do one specific genre. I’m more about fusion. There are a lot of pop artists that are using the ‘glam’ kind of vibe in their music currently so I think I’m actually part of a wave. There just happens to not be many guys doing it right now.”
