Robbie Williams Pays Tribute to 90s TV Show "The Word" in New Video
Robbie Williams has unveiled a new video for his track "Pretty Face", drawing inspiration from the iconic 1990s Channel 4 show "The Word". Directed by Charlie Lightening, the visual showcases Williams performing in a vivid red tracksuit, recreating the vibe of the celebrated late-night program.
"This is my ‘DeLorean Moment’ back to 1995 … The Word was the late-night gateway to so many – Nirvana, Oasis, Happy Mondays… If BRITPOP is the album I would have made, then THIS would have been the TV show…. now a (virtual) reality," Williams said.
Coinciding with the release, Williams confirmed that his forthcoming album "BRITPOP" — arriving in February 2026 — will also be available as a limited edition VHS.
