Robbie Williams plays a guardian angel in 'Candy'

Robbie Williams is back for another solo effort with British pop star's comeback solo single, "Candy," the lead single to be lifted from his upcoming ninth studio LP, "Take The Crown," which will be released on November 5. The 38-year-old, the grown up boy bander, said he was less than enthused with his last two albums, and seems to be more keen on his new solo release.
The track, which was co-written by former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, is no “Angels,” “Feel,” or “She’s the One.” It's an up-tempo, a quite catchy and enjoyable pop number, a bit similar to his classic hit, "Tripping." It'll just take a few listens to groove to the beat of the music. Speaking about the tune which comes complete with sugary-sweet pink artwork, Williams said: "It's a summer song, very much in a similar vein to 'Rock DJ,' about a girl who thinks she's great. And she might be, but she's a bit nefarious with her ways." This song is a big brilliant bang of pop ridiculousness.
Williams sticks it to the gran in brutal new promo, which was shot in Spitalfields, East London last month and saw hundreds of fans turn up to get a glimpse at the singer. The "Candy" visual features Williams wrecks havoc as a seemingly immortal guardian angel and a knight in shining armor, who causes all sorts of trouble with a penchant for mayhem, and trying do everything to protect and make things more comfortable to his beloved beautiful mortal, played by Skins actress Kaya Scodelario, who dressed in a royal blue dress and huge sunglasses, remains unaware of his presence.
The violent scene includes he getting run over by cars, gets in a serious fight, punches a harmless old woman who gets in her way, standing between two vehicles that collide, escaping both accidents unscathe, catches on fire, attacks a couple of men but fails to harm a beefy fella, who ends up launching him through a pub window, and many other terrible things, only for the sake of THE GIRL. He suffers bruises and cuts in the process. It's a totally fun and brilliant video! Williams soared to super-stardom with Angels, so it's no surprise that he is trying to encourage some heavenly intervention for his come back single.
