Robbie Williams’ second album showcases his growth from boyband member to pop icon. It’s a transformation exquisitely summed up by the sumptuous “Millennium,” which borrows swooping strings from a Bond flick and turns the singer into a dapper master of ceremonies, with one-liners and finery at the ready. The intricate, bitter “No Regrets” and the plaintive “Strong” also shine; a sweet cover of World Party’s “She’s the One,” meanwhile, elevates his first album’s Britpop tendencies with rich harmonies and an affecting vocal.
