One of the biggest pop stars in his native UK, yet still somewhat obscure in the US, Robbie Williams remains undaunted on 2005's INTENSIVE CARE, an album that amps up the rock side of the singer's pop/rock equation. Wearing his influences as charmingly as his mischievous, seemingly ever-present grin, Williams gleefully indulges in a Bono-esque falsetto on the propulsively rhythmic "Tripping" and nods to Bowie on the buoyant, nostalgic "Spread Your Wings." Like his contemporary Kylie Minogue, Williams revels in a slightly sophisticated aesthetic that Americans seem hesitant to fully embrace, but the undeniably catchy tunes on INTENSIVE CARE may finally turn heads in the States and succeed in making Williams a truly international star. |
