NEEEEEEEEEEEVER: Take That have announced a new single and an album, III, due out in December.
FORGET WHERE YOU’VE COME HERE FRO–OM NEEEEEEEEEEEEVER: Band member Jason Orange recently announced he would be quitting the band, leaving just — and this is clever — just three members, in the form of Howard Donald, Marky Mark Owen, and Gary Barlow.
PRETEND THAT IT’S ALL REAL: That’s why the album is called ‘III’.
SOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEDAY: Anyway, the first single — These Days — is available to stream now. If you haven’t got three minutes 52 spare, here’s what it sounds like: sort of like if three Olly Murs had a fight in a disco.
SOON THIS WILL BE SOMEONE ELSE’S DREAM: Here’s a thing Gary Barlow said this morning to Chris Evans about the album: “We’d been promising our fans for two years now, ‘This record’s coming’, and like Mark said, we got to the beginning of the year and we said to Jay, ‘Listen, we’ve got to start this record’. We waited and waited until the last point, and we’re rushing everything now because we finally got a decision and we have to respect that. We want to move forward as a three right now.”
IT WILL BE SOMEONE ELSE’S DRE-HEEM: “We waited and waited until the last point, and we’re rushing everything now because we finally got a decision and we have to respect that. We want to move forward as a three right now,” he added.
