Together again for the first time in 15 years, Robbie Williams reunites with former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow for a bit of topless bromance in his newest single "Shame." It's very 'Brokeback'- and very bromantic.
[ WATCH THE VIDEO after the jump ]The single is taken from Robbie's 2 CD greatest hits collection In And Out Of Consciousness - The Greatest Hits 1990 -2010, releasing on October 12th. Available to pre-order now.

I'm actually quite pleased with Robbie Williams' new album Reality Killed The Video Star. I mentioned previously that I'm not a fan of the first released single Bodies, and truthfully, I'm not big on a few more...namely track 5 - Do You Mind? (doesn't belong on the album), the Pet Shop Boy-ish track 6 - Last Days of Disco (just...weird), and track 12 - Won't Do That (the lyrics, "Swiss army wife"...'nuff said).
The hits, in my book are track 1 - Morning Sun (grand and sing-along-ish), track 4 - Blasphemy (co-written by Guy Chambers - think Rufus Wainwright), track 9 - Starstruck (with it's George Michael's 'For the Feet' impression), and track 11 - Superblind (in the style of Angels).
The album was produced by Trevor Horn (Paul McCartney, Seal, Pet Shop Boys, Cher) and features twelve brand new tracks - and one reprise.
Of Trevor Horn's production, Robbie says, "He's added something to the record that I haven't had on previous records - his genius."
Continuing to talk about the album, Robbie says, "I want people to feel elated, I want them to dance, I want them to forget about who they are and where they are for 50 minutes - and, with those 50 minutes of forgetting who they are, I also hope people relate to the songs. This is a record that I'm very proud of - I think it's fucking brilliant. I want it to be the record that, if people think of Robbie Williams, they go, 'Yeah, Reality Killed The Video Star'".
Reality Killed The Video Star will release on November 17. The CD version is enhanced and will allow the user access to exclusive bonus content (remix, video clip, etc.) when the disc is inserted into a computer. It will also release digitally tomorrow, November 10.
Robbie Williams dons a bunny suit, swaps a microphone for a carrot, and heads down the rabbit hole in this official video for "You Know Me", the second track from his album 'Reality Killed the Video Star'. The song will be released on December 7.

Listen to 'You Know Me', the second single from Robbie Williams' forthcoming album, Reality Killed The Video Star. Releasing December 7th. I'm lovin' it...much more so than Bodies.
Robbie Williams' comeback first show in over three years will be broadcast to nearly 200 cinemas across Europe on Tuesday, October 20. So while the tickets to the live performance at the BBC Electric Proms may have sold out, you'll still be able to catch the show via your local cinema...as long as you live in one of these participating European countries.
Fans in South Africa and Australia will be able to tune in a few weeks later to catch the performance when the show is broadcast in Australia on November 6 and in South Africa on November 13. As for the rest of the world...you're just S.O.L. :(
Robbie Williams premiered his new video for 'Bodies' today via the widget below. Ick...a widget? That kinda sucks (in a 'click this button to purchase my single' kinda way). Anyway, watch the video. I'll replace it with the actual video as soon as I find a copy. What are your thoughts about the song? As I mentioned before, I'm a Robbie fan but still not sure about the song.
From the album 'Reality Killed the Radio Star', out November 9.
Listen to 'Bodies', the first single from Robbie Williams' forthcoming album, 'Reality Killed the Radio Star.' The video for 'Bodies' premieres on September 9 (watch teaser below), while the single releases on October 12. 'Reality Killed the Radio Star' will be available on Novermber 9.
I'm not sure how I feel about the song yet. I like the chorus the best..."All we've ever wanted is to look good naked, hope that someone can take it...". What are your thoughts?
