With Rudebox, his new job, the bad boy of the current musical scene returns. Robbie returns with electro sounds from the years 80 and several remixes of the single presentation, which is named after the album, called Rudebox.
Williams has stated (can be read on the official website) things as different as the following:
“It's a set of different things. Sometimes it could be a vibration sent from a spaceship directly to the studio, Others are a shameless and scantily clad girl., the, sometimes, It's a giant sounds system…Sometimes it's just a box telling you to go fuck yourself.”
Furthermore, we now know that Robbie Williams will not extend his contract with the EMI record label., because he's fed up with “music industry machinery” and that he needs to create music independently of record companies.
These statements were made in the weekly “The mirror”, where he takes the opportunity to feel comfortable and tell that the way the music industry works makes him increasingly sick and that he needs to get out of that circle as soon as possible..
It includes many versions and also collaborations such as “Lily Allen” who participates in the choruses of two of the songs.
Rudebox has been published in various formats, including special edition format.
