PSB & Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams is currently working with the Pet Shop Boys on new songs.

Some of the material is expected to feature on Robbie’s forthcoming new album, ‘Intensive Care’, due in October, while Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe may keep other tracks for their own new album to be released in 2006.

‘I love them because they are so creative,’ Sky reports Robbie as saying. ‘I am so excited about just what will emerge from the studio.’

Robbie previously worked with the Pet Shop Boys on his 1998 hit, ‘No Regrets’.

Some of Robbie’s other new material is rumoured to have a reggae influence.

Neil on Live 8

Just bought the Q magazine for September and has note From Russia With Love about PSB in Russia. Neil says: ‘Emma Freud /wife of co-organizer Richard Curtis/ approached me at a party and asked if we’d headline the Live 8 show in Moscow. I’ve never linked it when pop stars tell the public about politics and sell records on the back of it. But she answered my concerns very well, so I sat down with Chris and he said: We’ve got to do it! We had the most dramatic backdrop of all, with St. Basil’s Cathedral looming over us’.

In The Studio

Neil and Chris are currently working on a new batch of four songs for their next album with producer Trevor Horn, making a total of nine tracks. The latest four are described as ‘more electro–pop’ than the first ‘epic’ five Horn has produced. The Dianne Warren composition, ‘Numb’, originally recorded for the ‘PopArt’ compilation and produced by Trevor Horn, will also feature on the new album to be released in Spring, 2006.
