Robbie Williams Releases New Song “Forbidden Road” from Original Motion Picture “Better Man” Soundtrack
British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams will release his upcoming biopic “Better Man” on December 25, 2024 via Paramount Pictures.
The film was directed by Michael Gracey. In the film, Robbie Williams appeared as a CGI monkey and provided voices, while Jono Davis performed the character using motion capture.
Director Michael Gracey said, “Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story - and that’s how he sees himself.”
From the soundtrack of the film, he released a new song “Forbidden Road” on November 22, 2024.
The song tells the story of Robbie Williams from his childhood to his first success with British pop group Take That.
The track was written by Freddy Wexler, Ben Thornewill, Robbie Williams, and Sacha Skarbek. Produced by Dan Romer and Freddy Wexler.- The soundtrack is set to be released on December 27, 2024 via Columbia Records.
The album comprises 13 songs, including his past smash hits “Feel”, “Something Beautiful”, “Rock DJ”, “Come Undone”, and “She’s the One”.
The artwork for the soundtrack is an homage to his album cover, "Life Thru a Len”.
