Quite a bit of speculation going on that the real reason he is leaving is due to the other three being involved in that tax avoidance scheme. He always struck me as a bit of an earnest, charitable type (especially when shagging Lulu - surely as close to tattling a rusty old tin as humping gets) so I, actually, wouldn't be surprised. But more in a straw-camels-back-broke way. I doubt it was the only factor. |

You could be right! From Popbitch: >> Tax That << Loving Jason Orange Today's announcement that Jason Orange has followed Robbie Williams out of Take That means that just the core tax-dodgers are left. A few reports are skirting the issue, but here's the timeline most sources are leaving out. 2009 - Jason Orange, in Q Magazine, "I've made us bank with the Co-op because it's ethical. I worry. I want us to stand for good things as well as be a brilliant band." 2012 - Gary Barlow first linked with aggressive tax avoidance. 2014 - Barlow, Owen and Donald all linked with tax avoidance. Orange quits Take That. Take That issue a statement saying "We first became aware of Jason's reservations a couple of years ago." (i.e. 2012) |

Apparently the video for the new single has been filmed and it looks like there will be news on Friday! |

New album III to be released December 1st in UK.![]() Tracklist 1. These Days 2. Let In The Sun 3. If You Want It 4. Lovelife 5. Portrait 6. Higher Than Higher 7. I Like It 8. Give You My Love 9. Freeze 10. Into The Wild 11. Flaws 12. Get Ready For It First single "These Days" will premiere tomorrow: ![]() A review of the single: It’s a new beginning for Take That — but not just in formation. The trio’s "debut" single These Days sounds like nothing we’ve ever heard before from the boys. It’s a fast-paced, foot-stomping song, which will come across great on the radio and even better on stage. Super producer Greg Kurstin, who has worked with everyone from Katy Perry to Kylie Minogue, helped out. And you can hear his influence straight away. From the Chic-style funk guitar riff, to the Pet Shop Boys vocal effects, it has pure pop written all over it. It’s no wonder the lads are dusting off their dancing shoes and learning a routine to match it. |

First review of Take That's new material as a trio, including new single These Days: Their seventh studio album, titled III, will follow on December 1. It is the first album they have released since 2010's Progress, which was recorded as a five-piece with both Jason and Robbie Williams. It went on to become the fastest selling album of the century. On Wednesday, the band invited me to London's RAK Studios to listen to four tracks from their new record. Here's how they sounded... THESE DAYS IT’S a new beginning for Take That — but not just in formation. The trio’s "debut" single These Days sounds like nothing we’ve ever heard before from the boys. It’s a fast-paced, foot-stomping song, which will come across great on the radio and even better on stage. Super producer Greg Kurstin, who has worked with everyone from Katy Perry to Kylie Minogue, helped out. And you can hear his influence straight away. From the Chic-style funk guitar riff, to the Pet Shop Boys vocal effects, it has pure pop written all over it. It’s no wonder the lads are dusting off their dancing shoes and learning a routine to match it. LET IN THE SUN This is likely to be the lads’ second single from new album III. And by the sounds of it, they seem to be gunning for their own Ibiza residency. Let In The Sun is the song your dad would write if he was trying to get down with the kids. It’s Mumford & Sons crossed with Calvin Harris. Take That’s delve into the dance world is unsurprisingly cringe-worthy, but like all of their records it’s unquestionably catchy. IF YOU WANT IT The most 90s-sounding track from the four we got to hear. It has their typical cheesy sound written all over it. “Everything could be a little bit brighter” is the most notable line, perhaps referencing their recent struggles. It's in no way a classic, but with big production and an uplifting chorus they won't struggle to get fans singing along. Look out for it on bank adverts and BBC montages next year. GET READY FOR IT By far and away the best song from the new-look Take That. The band wrote this for the soundtrack of forthcoming Brit flick Kingsman: The Secret Service, so stars Colin Firth and Michael Caine will know all the words by the time it’s released in February. Thumping drums start off a huge intro, before it kicks in with Gary’s battle cry. It is loud, euphoric and unmistakably Take That. They clearly haven't forgotten how to write the perfect middle eight too. When the boys last wrote a big-screen anthem — Rule The World for 2007 film Stardust — it became one of their biggest hits of all time. Get Ready For It could easily do the same. |

it sounds incredibly radio friendly but i can't warm up to it. they should have either gone completely bonkers experimenting with a bold electronic sound or just sticked to the epic ballad format.

Yeah, it just feels half-hearted and ultra-safe. A bit cheesy, but not cheesy enough somehow. Easily their worst lead single in many years. |

well, that's definitely one of their most enjoyable videos to date, it actually made me like the song a bit more, which i guess it's the purpose a video is supposed to serve. the budget must have been huge, too, which is rather understandable. oh, and a warm welcome back to half naked howard it's been quite a while

Reminds me of Eurythmics' video for "Revival". Both song and video for that were rubbish an' all. |
