In a bid to remain relevant, Robbie Willaims is preparing the release of another greatest hits package, called "In and Out of Conciousness: 1990-2010" it will include two new tracks written by *wait for it*.... Gary Barlow - in fact the first single 'Shame' is even a duet between Williams and Barlow. Yawn.
The video for the track has already been shot and features the two men dressed as the main characters from 'Brokeback Mountain' a film about two male cowboys who fall in love. So once again Robbie, who as far as I can recall has never spoken vocally about any gay rights issues or donated anything ever to any gay charity, is using the gay community (and the idea that he might just be gay himself) for his own gain. I find that whole shtick quite offensive really.
This and the fact that he's not made anything good since his last greatest hits in 2004 means I won't be buying it, but I expect the project to become totally unavoidable come October when the album is released.
