EMI have confirmed that Robbie Williams will release the first single from his upcoming new album in September. The track, called 'Rudebox', will be in shops on 4 Sep. Apparently it's a "nasty, dirty, bass infused electro-funk-pop monster" - which is nice - produced and co-written by Danny Spencer and Kelvin Andrews, aka Soul Mekanik, who, like Robbie, also hark from the Potteries.
On the single Andrews says: "Rudebox is wonky pop music, influenced by the underground. It was just three lads from Stoke having fun in the studio, no rules and no knobheads".
As previously reported, the Sun reckons that EMI are pushing the release of the new Robbie album back into October to avoid going head to head with the new long player from Justin Timberlake. That's probably true because, as yet, we have no release date for the album.
