*giggles* I'm watching his new video on Channel 4 now.

The song sounds like a piss take, but he's seemingly serious about it

The video, oooh dear. I think living in America has affected Robbie.

This song is terrible. He's capable of so much better.

Finally he makes a decent song.
Give it a few listens and you'll start to like it.

I'm thinking Sly & Robbie from an 80s tune but I can't find out anywhere *screams*

ETA yep, Boops

i thought he just takes the piss in most of his songs anyway,for example 'let me entertain you' it has the most awful lyrics ever,crap about put the kettle on to a rip off sound of pinball wizard.

I think the loss of Guy Chambers is beginning to be felt.

If the song was by anybody else it wouldn't have earned a release as it is so dreadful. Because it is by him, however, it goes straight into the release schedule and all of his pathetic "everything Robbie does is the best thing EVER" fans will rush out and buy it regardless, pushing it right up the charts.

A truly dreadful song, by an abysmal artist.

What is the name of Robbie's new single? I'll have to listen out for it. Is it on his latest album?

At least that myspace page has Supreme on it to remind us of how great Robbie once was.

When I first heard about this song I expected I'd hate it, but I watched the video last night and the song is catchy as F***k. luckily i sky plused it so I can play it when ever i like.

After about 30 mins I get withdrawal symptoms and have to put it on again.

Well done robbie, also i love the green light under the dancers that looks mint.

Just heard it - and I like it - it'll sound great in a club.

Performers like Ronan Keating just repeat the same formula ad infinitum. Great performers like Madonna or Bowie take risks, try things out, and aren't afraid of doing so. Love him or loathe him, Robbie is at least exploring different types of musical expression.

If you want to him to simply re-release Angels every few months, all you need to do is put the original Angels on repeat.

Where's the applause icon on this thing?! Have tried & tried to put into words what I've wanted to say about the song & Robbie in general, but you beat me to it! Couldn't agree more

I like Robbie but i don't like his 'new sound.' I prefer his stuff like angels, millenium and let me entertain you.

Very true. It's good to try something different. U2 experimented with dance music a while back and it didn't hurt them.

I'm no Robbie fan but i like the new song. I can understand how some people could find it annoying though.
Let's face it, the guy had to do something. His usual formula has gone very stale now....remember the dismal failure of his last single (in the UK at least).
Love it or hate it, i think this could be the single to refresh his career.

Anyone think it could be a number 1?
