Robbie Williams Could Be Disappointed Hoping To Crack U.S.

Capital FM weighed in on Robbie Williams’ new album Escapology’ and say, “The good news for EMI is that they only have to pay up the full £80 million if Robbie cracks the tough US market. But, as Robbie is only too aware, his cheeky northern charm has failed to charm the Yanks in the past. ‘Escapology’ tries hard to build some bridges by employing a distinctly US college rock sound, which is a like trying to sell espresso to Italians. If this is the breakthrough album he is hoping for he could be disappointed.”
