Robbie Williams drops guitar anthem Spies
Taken from the former Take That singer's forthcoming album, BRITPOP, the Rock DJ hitmaker worked with trusted collaborators Karl Brazil and Owen Parker on the track.
Spies is the second single from the collection, following Rocket, featuring Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi.
BRITPOP is the album Robbie always wanted to make after he quit Take That.
The Angels hitmaker named the LP after the era in which he famously feuded with Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher.
The album's artwork features the red tracksuit Robbie famously wore to Glastonbury Festival in 1995, where he partied hard with and briefly befriended frontman Liam, around the same time he quit boy band Take That.
Robbie said of BRITPOP: 'I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music. I've worked with some of my heroes on this album; it's raw, there are more guitars and it's an album that's even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There's some 'Brit' in there and there's certainly some 'pop' too - I'm immensely proud of this as a body of work and I'm excited for fans to hear this album. I also can't wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming 'Britpop' tour, which I'm opening in the UK, naturally.'
Noel Gallagher famously branded Robbie the "fat dancer from Take That" in the Britpop days.
Despite trading insults over the years, Robbie has always loved Oasis and regularly admitted he would have preferred to be making that kind of music opposed to Take That.
Stream Spies now on all major platforms. BRITPOP is released on October 10.

Netflix is about to lose 7 shows — stream them before they're gone
Netflix regularly loses shows from its deep content library. Granted, the streaming service is also adding new ones nearly every day, and adds far more in a month than it loses — just look at the list of everything new on Netflix this August. But you still need to keep an eye out for when a favorite show or that acclaimed series you've been meaning to watch might be leaving Netflix. This month, the time to start keeping an eye out for what's leaving Netflix is right now. Between Aug. 15 and Aug. 19, the streaming service is going to remove seven shows from its library, and these shows aren't slouches either. "Ballers" was a big hit for HBO, and I enjoyed its first season — it's gone on Aug. 15, so you'll want to start binge-watching its five seasons now. Love a British crime drama like "MobLand"? Then you'll want to check out the acclaimed first two seasons of "Gangs of London" before the show goes back to being just on AMC Plus. Here are all seven shows that Netflix is about to lose this month, and why each one is worth watching before it's gone. "Ballers" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Spencer Strasmore, a former NFL player who has moved on to the world of financial management. Of course, the easiest clients for him to find are former NFL players, including mercurial wide receiver Ricky Jerret (John David Washington). This show is definitely more "Entourage" than "Any Given Sunday," and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather be watching either of those over this HBO series. By the end of season 5, I was officially hate-watching the show, committed to seeing it through to the end. That said, the first season of the show was genuinely good, especially ther performances of Washington as Jerret, Omar Miller as lineman Charles Greane and Rob Corddry as Spencer's partner in crime, Joe Krutel. If you just want a fun show with some sizzle, there are worse things to watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Watch "Ballers" on Netflix until August 15 "Unreal" stars Shiri Appleby as Rachel Goldberg, a young reality show producer. She was a producer on the reality dating show "Everlasting" until she had a meltdown during the filming of a season finale. Now, she's back, rehired by her boss, Quinn (Constance Zimmer), much to the surprise of everyone on the show. Now, Rachel has to balance rebuilding her reputation, keeping the show as salacious as ever, and working alongside a rival producer, Shia (Aline Elasmar), and Rachel's cameraman ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Josh Kelly), who already moved on to someone else. This show got rave reviews across its first three seasons, when it aired on Lifetime. Its fourth and final season moved to Hulu and admittedly seems to be a forgettable one based on its 46% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences still liked it. The best endorsement I've seen for "Unreal" came from Entertainment Weekly's Dalene Rovenstine after the series premiere aired. "If you love 'The Bachelor,'" she wrote, "you're going to like 'UnREAL.' If you hate 'The Bachelor,' you're going to like 'UnREAL.' So basically, Lifetime has done it: They've found the perfect show for everyone." Watch "Unreal" on Netflix until August 19 With a title like "Kevin Can F**k Himself," you'd assume this show might be about a guy named, well, Kevin. But you'd be wrong, because it's really about Kevin's wife Allison (Annie Murphy), who's had about enough of being in an unhappy marriage with Kevin. To be fair, she's right to be fed up. Kevin is the worst — an immature narcissist whose behavior borders on domestic abuse. But what causes her to snap is when she learns from Patty (Mary Hollis Inboden), the sister of Kevin's best friend and one of her and Kevin's neighbors, that Kevin had secretly drained their savings account. What really sets this show apart is how it treats its portrayal of Allisons's life. When she's with Kevin, the show presents itself as a multi-cam sitcom complete with canned laughter. But when she's away from her awful husband and on her path of self-discovery, the show transitions to a single-camera comedy-drama. "Kevin Can F**k Himself" is worth checking out for this masterful technique alone, and at just 16 episodes, it's a quick binge-watch. Watch "Kevin Can F**k Himself" on Netflix until August 19 If you liked the "MobLand" season finale and can't wait for "MobLand" season 2, let "Gangs of London" tide you over while you wait. This crime thriller series takes its name from the 2006 video game of the same name, which was a spin-off from The Getaway video game franchise. The series centers around the Wallace crime family, which had been led by Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) until his shocking death at the beginning of the show. This throws the London criminal underworld into chaos, with Finn's son Sean (Joe Cole) and widow (Michelle Fairley) trying to keep the Wallace criminal enterprise intact. Like with "MobLand" and the British crime movies that "Gangs of London" draws inspiration from, there's no shortage of violence in this show, so much so that critics and audiences dinged the second season for being too violent. Which, given that "Havoc" director Gareth Evans created this show, maybe that shouldn't be a surprise. But season 1 received near universal acclaim, and is worth watching before it's gone from Netflix. Watch "Gangs of London on Netflix until August 19 In "The Walking Dead," Andrew Lincoln stars as Rick Grimes, a Georgia sheriff's deputy who leads a group of survivors during a zombie apocalypse. By the end of his time in the show, he became the leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, but in "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" he's been conscripted into the Civic Republic Military (CRM), potentially the most powerful military left on Earth. However, despite being ostensibly held captive by this powerful force, nothing is going to stop him from trying to reunite with his wife, Michonne (Danai Gurira), a katana-wielding killing machine who has been searching for Rick since season 10 of "The Walking Dead." As the old saying goes, "All's fair in love and war," and this six-episode miniseries has plenty of both. So whether you're a "Walking Dead" fanatic or just want a bingeable drama, "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" is a must-watch before it leaves Netflix this month. Watch "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" on Netflix until August 19 "The Boys" wasn't Seth Rogen's first foray into a comic book adaptation. Years before and his creative partner Evan Goldberg would serve as executive producers on the Prime Video superhero show based on the iconic Garth Ennis comic, they developed "Preacher" for AMC, based on another beloved Ennis comic series. For those who missed the show, "Preacher" stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, a Texas preacher with a penchant for hard-drinking and chain-smoking. During a crisis of faith, he becomes infused with an extraordinary power called Genesis, and it gives him some serious superpowers. It also convinces him to go find God (literally) and make God answer for all He's done wrong. Jesse won't be going alone though. He's bringing his violent ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and his new vampire friend from Ireland, Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). If you love an irreverent superhero show like "The Boys," then definitely check out "Preacher" before it leaves Netflix. Watch "Preacher" on Netflix until August 19 I'll freely admit, "Into the Badlands" is the one show on this list I had never even heard of before. But after watching the trailer and reading more about the martial arts drama, I'm bummed I missed it and will need to check it out before it leaves Netflix for good. "Into the Badlands" stars Daniel Wu as Sunny. He exists 500 years in the future, where war has turned Earth into a post-apocalyptic world. Sunny serves as a chief warrior to the Badlands' most powerful baron, Quinn (Marton Csokas). The world building in this show sounds incredible. "Into the Badlands" exists in a world largely, but not entirely, devoid of technology, where barons control vital resources and rule over a caste system that includes "cogs" (slaves), "dolls" (prostitutes) and "clippers" (warriors). If you're someone like me who loves a sci-fi or fantasy show with deep lore to explore, then "Into the Badlands" might be the show to prioritize binge-watching before it's gone. Watch "Into the Badlands" on Netflix until August 19 Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Kate Middleton Stuns in Green Suit During Surprise Outing Amid Summer Vacation
Princess Kate Middleton put a brief pause on her summer break for a surprise outing at the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Kate, 43, stepped out in a stunning green pantsuit for the rare appearance, according to photos recently released by Kensington Palace. (The Princess of Wales' visit actually took place this past June.) The set from designer Veronica Beard retails at just under $1,000, with the blazer coming in at $489 (currently on sale) and the pants at $498. Kate kept her jacket buttoned with the sleeves pulled up during the royal outing. She was wearing a neutral top underneath the blazer, with just the collar peeking out. Kate Middleton's Tailored Suits Have Us in a Trance Her unannounced visit came as she and husband Prince William are keeping a lower profile amid the summer months. Kate met with members of the Centre for Early Childhood to discuss their newly released animated films, which highlight the importance of everyday moments that shape a child's life. Vicki Turner and Owen Gildersleeve, the film's illustrators, were also present. "Early childhood has been recognized as the golden opportunity to build strong foundations for future life health and happiness,' said in a statement on Tuesday, August 5, as the seven short films were released. "The new animated films from The Centre of Early Childhood showcase how adults can create nurturing, loving interactions with children, helping to foster social and emotional development during their earliest years.' She added, "These core social and emotional skills are essential in forming healthy relationships and are fundamental building blocks that can carry us through life.' Kate noted that she hopes the videos 'raise the awareness of, and celebrate, the extraordinary value of everyday moments of connection,' which are important in today's world. Princess Kate Is Sophisticated and Stylish in Classy Forest Green Suit "Early childhood offers a sacred opportunity to transform our societies for the better and by nurturing these skills in our babies and children, we will be raising a younger generation better equipped to face the future,' her statement concluded. Kate's outings have been few and far between this year as she slowly returns to her royal duties following a cancer battle last year. (Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in February 2024 and announced this past January that she's in remission.) Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, explained that Kate's return to the public is happening 'on her own terms,' during a June interview with Hello! Magazine. 'Her priorities have changed, and she's listening to her body, instead of being a people pleaser,' Seward said. 'She's absolutely got to be strict with herself and say, 'No, I can't do this.''
