ROBBIE WILLIAMS "escapology" cd, 2002...#1 UK, #3 AU, #43 US
Robbie's fifth studio set...i only own three(this one,"rudebox" and his covers album of old swing songs)
i love this guy...he has it all IMO, great voice,swagger,cheeky humour,showmanship,boyish charm, and he lays bare his soul warts and all on record for all to hear...
this is his best album IMO, contains four UK smash hits in tracks 2,3,5 and 9(five here with track 4 also...)
lots of ballads that build up into something special,lots of double meaning lyrics etc etc...
not bad for a guy who started off in a stupid boy band(take that)...
Robbie has released ten albums now, nine of which made it to #1 in the UK,the other was a dismal failure only reaching #2 in the charts...seven #1 singles as a solo artist in the UK with another five getting to #2...impressive stuff for any artist!
oh yeh,BTW...all of these clips for this one are worth watching IMO!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
