‘Every artist looks and sounds the same’: Robbie Williams blasts the lack of variety in modern music
Robbie Williams has admitted he listens to the charts in dismay.
The singer, who soared to fame in the Nineties as part of Take That, revealed he struggles with the lack of variety in modern music, noting all the artists ‘look and sound the same.’
He explained: ‘If you take Top Of The Pops from 1988, any week, the varying of colours, the eccentricities, the madness and the craziness is extraordinary.’

Robbie, 48, continued: ‘If you put on a chart show in 2022, every week, every artist sounds like every artist and they look like every artist.
‘It’s not their fault, I’m not having a go at them.’
Robbie’s comments come as he works on his new Netflix documentary, which he has promised will be packed with content relating to sex, drugs and mental illness.

The singer has editorial control over the content, which will be filmed inside his £17.5 million mansion in Kensington, London.
He recently said on New Zealand radio station Newstalk ZB’s The Mike Hosking Breakfast show: ‘It’ll be full of sex and drugs and mental illness.
‘They haven’t started. I’m sure it will be warts-and-all, and I’m sure it will be me giving away too much information about my life and times.
‘I’m looking forward to getting it started and finding out what it is myself.’
Insisting there will be no restrictions, he continued: ‘No rules. I’m more likely than most people to leave everything in, I very rarely, if ever, have said, ‘That’s too much, take it off.’ I normally think that it’s not enough.’
Robbie added that even though he has ‘editorial control’ the makers are ‘very, very lucky because I want to expose myself more than anybody else exposes themselves’.
He said: ‘Most people want to do some sanitised version of themselves because they’re scared of giving too much of their real life away.
‘The audience can see that and I don’t respond very well as an audience member to that, so I won’t be doing that.’
