Take That & Robbie Williams Confirm Progress Album
Take That have revealed that their new album, which features Robbie Williams for the first time in fifteen years, will be called Progress. The newly reunited manband will release their first LP together in just over a decade on 22nd November, thought to be the same date as boyband JLS’ second offering.
Gary Barlow, Robbie and Co also announced that their first single from the LP, The Flood, will precede the album and be unleashed on the charts on 4th November. The track, which has been produced by Stuart Price, was recorded with all five members of TT back in September 2009.
Speaking of reuniting with his old band in LA, Robbie had previously told Radio 1: “I was very nervous because there were four of them. I came so close to not going because I had toothache that night and I’d just taken a painkiller.” “I’d said some nasty things about [Barlow]. ‘What do I do if I go in? Is he harbouring anything?’ So the missus pushed me through the door. It was very exciting, very liberating.”
He added: “I spent the last 15 years thinking what I was going to say. We had that big chat and the most amazing thing happened at the end of it, we both said sorry to each other and we both meant it.” A month before their TT single release, Robbie and Gary’s duet, Shame, will also hit shops on 4th October, after the pair played the song for the first time together at Help The Heroes gig, earlier this month.
