8. Robbie Williams He is the one Robbie Williams is the most known member of former very popular and today not existing boygroup Take That. Although it may seem that being in such a famous band would open him doors to fame, no one believed he might be popular in a solo career. 　　Robbie eventually signed at Chrysalis where they invested a lot in him and where they believed in him. His first single was George Michael’s “ Freedom” . However it scored well in charts, as well as the following singles, the success wasn’t anyhow astonishing.Particularly, the sales of first album“ Life Thru A Lens” were disappointing. Turn has come with release of “ Angels” , which got platinum,even with “ Only” ＃ 4 in UK chart.Following single “ Let Me Entertain You” with a Pet Shop Boys “ I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind Of Thing” confirmed Robbie’s quality and eventually the critics response was good as well. Consequently, Robbie hit UK ＃ 1 album chart, 21 weeks after the release. So the debut was good for Robbie and his new album was very much awaited.First single “ Millennium” from the newest album “ I’ve Been Expecting You” reached immediately after the release ＃ 1 in UK, using the melody of John Barry from “ You Only Live Twice” ,which has been greatly sampled into the chorus.Album itself contains 14 new tracks, where Robbie presents his and Guy Chambers’compositions. As said by himself, the new album is the sound of a more confident, focused Robbie. The album also confirms Robbie’s reputation as a potent lyricist with a canny style, reminiscent of Rod Stewart at his best. 羅比·威廉斯:他是惟一 羅比·威廉斯是曾紅極一時現(xiàn)已解散的男孩組合樂隊TakeThat中最知名的成員。盡管 人們認(rèn)為躋身于這樣一個有名的樂隊會為他打開聲望的大門，但沒有人相信他會在獨唱 生涯中取得成功。 　　羅比最終與克里薩利斯公司簽約，公司為他投入了大筆資金，相信他能夠有所成就 。他的第一首單曲是喬治·邁克爾的“自由”。盡管該歌和隨后的幾首單曲在排行榜上都取 得了好成績，但并不引人注目。特別是他的第一張專輯“透過鏡頭所看到的生活”的銷量 令人失望。隨著專輯“天使”的推出，羅比時來運轉(zhuǎn)，該專輯達到白金銷量，其中的單曲 “惟一”甚至進入英國排行榜的第四名。與寵物店男孩樂隊合作制作了單曲“讓我?guī)汩_心 ”之后，“我不常做這種事”鞏固了羅比的實力，最終評論家也做出了積極的反應(yīng)。接著， 羅比在專輯發(fā)行21周后榮登英國專輯排行榜冠軍寶座。 　　羅比的第一張專輯業(yè)績可人，大家對他的新專輯翹首以待。新專輯“我一直在等你” 中的第一首單曲“千禧年”，一經(jīng)推出即榮登英國排行榜榜首，這首歌將約翰·巴里的歌曲 “你只有兩次生命”的旋律完美地選用在了和聲中。專輯共收錄了14首新歌，羅比推出的 是他和蓋伊·錢伯斯的作品。正如羅比所說，新專輯展現(xiàn)的是一個更加充滿信心、更加沉 著穩(wěn)健的羅比的聲音。該專輯也鞏固了羅比作為一個有巨大影響力的詞作者的聲譽。他 那令人愉悅的風(fēng)格令人聯(lián)想起鼎盛時期的羅德·斯圖爾特。
