In my exhausted sleepy stupour, i suddenly perked up and read it excitedly. It was true! They have in fact recorded an album!!!! =) If you're too lazy to read the report, watch this clip:-
Now why would i be so excited? Truth be told, i'm not expecting the album to be brilliant. No, their days of brilliance have passed. When they reformed (sans Robbie) in 2006, they did not impress me - altho their single Patience was good, it went nowhere near wat they used to do. Still, they were successful enuf to prompt a comeback by New Kids on the Block!!!
So why the interest then? I guess it's more for sentimental reasons. Take That IMHO was the best ever group in the 'boy band' section. I was exposed to them when i went over to the UK to study, way back in 1993. And i really liked their music.
Sure, i think that the only musically talented people in Take That are Gary and Robbie - dun really know wat the others do (except sing lead in one or two tracks). But the talent between those 2 is enuf to cover for all of the rest of them.
So perhaps the reason why i'm happy over this piece of news is cuz it brings back memories of those wonder days i spent in London, defined by a lot of things, among others, Take That's singles Pray and Babe. Listening to these tracks is like taking a ride on a time machine - it transports me back to those days.
Here is the video for Pray:-
So is Robbie gonna be back for good? We'll see. Apparently, it is only for a year - but i'm sure him being back is good for Take That!
Now where's my old Take That album...
*This Robbie's last song with Take That. Now it will no longer have that status!
