Yes, "Bodies" is likely to cause fans to put memories of Rudebox, the album that only sold double platinum after a string of five times platinum plus studio albums, well behind and see this as a proper Robbie Williams record. The UK's biggest male pop star has indeed returned. All of the pieces are here - big chorus to sing with, lyrics with a controversial edge, and an opportunity to think about, well, Robbie's body. The producer here is Trevor Horn, the man behind extravagant pop classics like ABC's "The Look of Love" and Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax." "Bodies" looks like a return to the mainstream pop spotlight for both Mr. Williams and Mr. Horn. Plans are for the single to be available commercially October 12, 2009 and the album Reality Killed the Video Star November 9, 2009. A US release for any of this? Don't be holding your breath. For now, check out the latest model of Robbie Williams below.
