Following up his 2012 effort, Gouache, Take This finds Terrasson investigating a mix of originals and unexpected covers, many of which are infused with a strong African and Cuban rhythmic influence.

Robbie Williams returns with his ninth studio album Take The Crown. It features the hit lead single "Candy", which was penned with former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, and his collaboration with singer-songwriter Lissie, "Losers". This ninth album finds Robbie sounding rather too serious, rather too often.
