Feb 11, 2026It’s not necessarily one to be filed alongside ‘Parklife’ or ‘Definitely Maybe, but there’s a distinct whiff of the era’s wistfulness across ‘Human’ and ‘Spies’ - plus a cheeky repeated “hello” in ‘Pretty Face’ that’s surely a nod to the Oasis track of the same name.
-
Feb 5, 2026If you're a fan of Williams, there are no surprises here, just ten more great songs to add to a catalog that might one day get the credit it's due for the pop star's contribution to, what else, Brit-pop.
-
Jan 16, 2026This is an album that doesn’t really need any artificial bluster to draw attention. The songs are more than good enough.
-
Jan 15, 2026The whole album is a lot of fun. .... Britpop may ultimately be too old-fashioned to put the 51-year-old Williams back on the pop throne, but if it had come out in 1995, it might be counted as a vintage Britpop classic by now.
-
Jan 15, 2026Conceptually sound or not, Britpop is never less than engaging.
-
Jan 30, 2026This is Williams’ strongest songwriting in some time.
-
Jan 20, 2026As ever with Robbie Williams, there are moments of pop brilliance, and moments where it all falls a bit flat. But, as his first ‘proper’ album in almost a decade, it’s a pretty good re-introduction to one of pop music’s more creative individuals.
-
Jan 15, 2026A record like this should go out with a bang. Instead, it’s a bit of a limp finish to an otherwise fun record from one of our most charismatic pop stars.
-
Jan 15, 2026An album to be remembered for? Probably not, but it’s bold, it’s a laugh, and he’s done it his way.
-
Feb 2, 2026It’s clear that Williams had fun here, that he was able to embrace some of his contemporaries and heroes. But it never feels like a classic record, a necessary record, a weighty record.
