Robbie Williams has channeled the spirit of 1995 for his latest music video, recalling the era with notable authenticity. The video accompanies his new song “Human,” featuring Jesse and Joy.
Robbie Williams shared his vision for the album in a statement:
“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."
This musical chapter follows the 2024 biopic Better Man, which explores Williams' quirky personality. Directed by Michael Gracey, known for The Greatest Showman, the film received critical acclaim with an 89% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The biopic’s unique approach features Williams portrayed as a chimpanzee throughout, using actor Jonno Davies and advanced special effects. This inventive storytelling offers a fresh twist on the conventional biopic genre.
Summary: Robbie Williams taps into his 1995 roots with a new upbeat album and video, alongside a well-received and inventive 2024 biopic showcasing his distinctive character.
