ROBBIE WILLIAMS And BLACK SABBATH Guitarist TONI IOMMI Go Off On New Missile ‘ROCKET’
Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

I never thought I would feature ROBBIE WILLIAMS (51 now) here. But hey, my ears
decide what’s happening, and they tell me that his new single ROCKET is a blast.
It’s the first taster from his upcoming 13th album, his first in 6 years. It’s named BRITPOP and lands this Autumn. Williams invited Black Sabbath‘s Tony Iommi to give the track some extra punch with roasting riffs.
Williams: “I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music. I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album. ”
There’s also a whole lot of energy on “Rocket,” the lead single from Williams forthcoming
LP ‘Britpop’. It’s a charged-up pop-punk snorter with some serious Ramones/Undertones vibes, and it’s got guitar from the legendary Black Sabbath axe-wrecker Tony Iommi. We’re looking at a statement.”
Wake up people, Robbie
is back. Take that.
