Producer and label boss Mark Ronson has defended the three tracks he produced on Robbie Williams' 'Rudebox' album, despite its relative commercial failure.
Ronson produced 'Lovelight', 'King of the Bongo' and 'Good Doctor' on Williams' latest album, which received a lukewarm reception from fans and critics alike. Even though it topped the UK albums chart, it has failed to come close to matching the success of Williams' previous albums.Speaking to website Gigwise, Ronson made a point of defending the tracks he was involved with, explaining, "'Lovelight', one of the records that I did, I know people who don't even know who Robbie Williams is, they hear that when it comes on in the club when I play it and they're like 'what the hell is that, that's amazing'. I do think that's a great song.
"Mos Def actually came up to me at [a gig] in New York. He came up to me and was like, 'did you do that Robbie Williams song 'Lovelight'? It's incredible I want to rap over that'. Maybe not all the songs were terribly good, but I'm definitely into the stuff we did."
