the rumours are true... Take That: the original line-up have written and recorded a new album for release 22 November Following months of speculation Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams confirmed in July that they have been recording a new studio album as a five piece. Released on 22 Nobember it is the first time they’ve recorded a full album together since the release of their number one album ‘Nobody Else’, back in 1995. ‘Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality. Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It’s been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again. But I’m still a better footballer’ - Mark Owen. ‘I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room. It feels like coming home’ - Robbie Williams. ‘Flippin’ brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I’m over the moon that Robbie’s back with us, however long it lasts. I just want to enjoy our time with him. Life is beautifully strange sometimes’ - Jason Orange. The reunion of reunions took place in New York last September, following Take That’s record-breaking ‘The Circus Live’ tour. Shortly afterwards all five of the original Take That secretly wrote and recorded the six songs for the Stuart Price produced album that includes the first single ‘The Flood’ Take That and Robbie Williams have between them sold over 80 Million albums, played to over 14.5 million people live, won 19 BRIT Awards, had 13 number one albums, 17 number one singles, eight MTV awards and five Ivor Novello awards; and the list goes on… The success they have achieved independently and as a group is extraordinary and undeniable. Their new album comes 20 years since the band first sang live as a group on the TV show The Hitman & Her in 1990. www.takethat.com
