‘Escapology’ Isn’t A Star-Maker For Robbie Williams

On his latest record ‘Escapology’, Glenn Gamboa of Newsday says Robbie Williams is clearly stuck in a rut. Gamboa says the album “is supposed to make him a star in the United States, but it won’t.

To launch his career in America, Williams needed a breakthrough – one on the same level as his underrated first U.S. album, ‘The Ego Has Landed,’ in 1999. Instead, he offers more of the same slick, slightly arty pop that failed to win over many American fans twice before.” Read more.
