Free Music Notes for Escapology
Free Music Review: Rob is here to stay
Hit: 5 Stars
It blows my mind that after 5 years of phenominal success worldwide, Robbie Williams is still a relative unknown in North America. That should change with Escapology, but not because it differs from his earlier albums (which are of just as high quality) but because he dropped the company that used to market him in the U.S. and is now under the label Virgin, who should know how to market him properly. Afterall, they were the ones who brought the Spice Girls to the U.S. (not that there is any comparison in the quality of music)Anyways, the album is a gem. There is not one song to skip, yiu can just press play and listen for an hour. The most powerful songs on the album are the ones which Robbie bares his soul, like leads single "Feel" and my favorite song on the album, "Come Undone". But there are also some fun songs such as "Me and My Monkey" and "Get a little High". No matter what your flavor, there is sure to be something that reflects your taste on this album. Robbie deserves the success he is about to get Stateside, and he'll also be touring here in the fall, so look out for that!
Free Music Review: Outstanding CD, his best so far!

I bought Escapology after hearing the single "Feel" on the radio; hearing it was one of those head-turning moments like hearing U2 for the first time. With a gorgeous, limber voice, a sharp sense of humor, infectious melodies, and unusual depth and vulnerability to his lyrics, Robbie Williams has crafted one of the best CD's of the decade. It is difficult for me to believe that he isn't better-known here in the U.S., although I can understand that his music isn't for everyone; it's an unusual combination of smart, sexy, tender, and raw. After falling in love with Escapology, I bought three of his other CD's; so far, this is my favorite, although the single "Angels" (from The Ego has Landed, among others)is a beautiful ballad. Escapology has become my favorite after-work workout CD; it's uptempo enough, and sexy and sinuous enough, to quicken the pulse while soothing the savage soul. If you've lived enough to survive a few mistakes, and learn from them, you'll find a kindred spirit in this music. Can't wait to see what the next CD will bring; hope this one does well enough that we'll see a tour of the U.S.!Free Music Review: Robbie Does It 5 Stars
I recently purchased Robbie's new album Escapology and feel in love with it instantly. Usually when you buy an album you have to listen to it a couple of times before it moves you, however after just listening to Robbie's Escapology CD once I new he had a major hit on his hand. This album seems to be more personal then his other albums to date. It seems that since he is a well established artists he was able to experiment more with the lyrics on this new album. It does have your ballads however they have the personal Robbie William's touch which we all have learned to love. One of the tracks that jumps out or stands out is The Worlds Most Handsome Man. I really liked that track among others however that one seems to stand out. At this time I take time out to congradulate Mr. Williams on his recent recording deal giving him the honors of signing the most lucrative recording contract since M. Jackson. The good news for his established fan base and future fans to come is that we will have the opportunity to listen to new music and lyrics from this talented Brit. Buy his new CD it is Great.Free Music Review: GIVE THE POOR GUY A CHANCE, AMERICA....

Yes, his ego is as big as the States itself. Yes, he is a true exhibitionist. But, he also creates some of the best pop music in the industry today. ESCAPOLOGY just might be Robbie's ticket to fame in the U.S. The album already seems to be doing quite well here, despite no appearance on the singles chart. 'FEEL' 'HANDSOME MAN' 'COME UNDONE' and 'SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL' are just feel good songs that remind us about what excellent pop music is really all about. British critics may not always be kind to Robbie, but North Americans are really starting to appreciate him. For all of his American fans, Robbie will embark on an extensive North American tour starting in September 2003. Could this really be Robbie's time in the States? I seem to think so (as long as he can keep his clothes on long enough). For further listening pleasure, check out these other great UK acts: ATOMIC KITTEN, BLUE, SUGABABES and MIS-TEEQ. Also, check out KYLIE MINOGUE's sister DANNII (she's excellent as well), HOLLY VALANCE, and DELTA GOODREM (from Australia).Free Music Review: Robbie Can Do No Wrong

Why this fabulous talent is not one of the hottest pop stars in the US, as he is in his native UK, will forever remain a mystery to me. His talent knows no bounds, as this fifth album aptly shows. From his released-as-a-single "Come Undone," which is simply classic Robbie, to the intense "Feel" to the enigmatic "Me and My Monkey," to all the emotions he can express like no other, Robbie has come up with another winner.The first time I listened to this CD all the way through, I had it piped through the windows at full blast--while I planted a rose. It was one of life's better experiences. Those who know and appreciate the depth of this incredibly versatile (and very sexy) man will completely understand. No genre is beneath--or beyond--Robbie's notice, and he has opened up my eyes and ears to whole new musical experiences, time and time again.
For those who have not treated themselves to a CD by Robbie Williams, "Escapology" is a perfect place to start. For the rest of us, there's more Robbie to appreciate and love.
