Williams gets advice from Jones
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 January 2009
Tom Jones has revealed that he recently gave Robbie Williams a motivational pep talk and recorded some new songs with him. The singers both live near each other in LA and have seemingly struck up a friendship.
Jones told The Mirror: “With Robbie he asked me: ‘How do you keep going? I’m starting to wonder about it whether it’s for me’. It’s because I love it I told him. But Robbie says sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes he gets a bit down and said once ‘sometimes I don’t feel like I’m any good’. I told him to just enjoy it, don’t worry about it and stop taking it so seriously”.
On the new material they recorded together, Jones says he does not know if it will appear on Robbie’s next album.
He explained: “I live just down the road from him so he said, ‘Do you fancy coming over and recording some stuff with me?’. He’s got a portable recording studio in his bedroom so that’s where we did it. He was writing with some English mates of his. We did a song, he was rapping on it and I was singing on the chorus but I don’t know what he wants to do with it”.
