Take That - The Circus
Take That's new album has finally arrived. Read our review of what to expect right here.
The Circus is a worthy follow-up to their hugely successful Beautiful World album, which shot straight to No.1 upon its release two years ago. Tracks to look out for include...
The Garden
A five minute epic, this is a song that just gets bigger and bigger in sound as it progresses. Beginning with a gentle piano intro and a delicate vocal performance from Mark Owen, soaring strings, marching band-style drums, horns and guitars are all gradually chucked into the mix before it crescendos into its anthemic 'this is the life we've been given, so open your mind and start living' chorus. It's an ambitious track and is exactly the reason why they've been so massive since making their return a couple of years ago.
Greatest Day
You'll have all heard their latest single by now. It's a proper grown-up pop record along the same lines as Rule The World and sees the boys try their hand at a much more complex vocal arrangement than we've heard from them previously. Click here to check out pictures from the video shoot.
Said It All
Goodness - they've really gone overboard with the strings on this album! Said It All is a bleak, rock-influenced,
break-up anthem which wouldn't have sounded out of place of Snow Patrol's recent album.
Up All Night
Mark Owen takes the lead on this one once again and, while it starts off with just an acoustic guitar and percussion for accompaniment, it morphs into something altogether very different. If we had to compare it to anything, it would be their hit single, Shine crossed with I Can't Decide from Scissor Sisters' second album, Ta-Dah... only with a brass band trumping in the background. We're expecting a great performance of this on their upcoming tour.
If you fancy seeing Take That live, don't forget tickets for their 2009 UK tour are on sale now.
The Circus is released Today and in shops and online to buy today.
