Robbie Williams Revisits the 90s in New 'Pretty Face' Video
Robbie Williams has taken a nostalgic journey back to the 1990s to perform on the iconic variety show The Word in his new video for the single "Pretty Face".
Video Concept and Style
The video recreates a live performance on The Word, a popular late-night show that aired from 1990 to 1995. Williams appears on stage wearing his signature red tracksuit top and sporting bleached hair, reminiscent of his look at Glastonbury 1995. The footage is deliberately grainy, capturing the atmosphere of the time with a lively crowd dancing along to the Britpop-inspired track.
"This is my ‘DeLorean Moment’ back to 1995... 'The Word' was the late-night gateway to so many – Nirvana, Oasis, Happy Mondays,” said Williams.
About the Album and Recent Performances
"Pretty Face" is a single from Williams’ upcoming album titled BRITPOP. Originally scheduled for release in October, the album’s launch has now been delayed until 2026. In the meantime, the video offers fans a vivid glimpse of the musical era that inspired the project.
Recently, on October 9, Williams performed in London his smallest-ever ticketed show, presenting his debut album and playing the full BRITPOP album live as well.
"If ‘BRITPOP’ is the album I would have made, then THIS would have been the TV show," Williams added.
Williams’ creative nod to the 90s celebrates the influence of that period on his current work and connects audiences with a defining moment in music history.
Summary: Robbie Williams’ new video for "Pretty Face" nostalgically recreates a 1995 performance on The Word, highlighting his upcoming BRITPOP album’s roots in 90s music culture.
