Description :
Maxi single features album version of the title track along with two non-album tracks, 'Meet the Stars' and 'Make Me Pure' along with the enhanced video to the title track. Tripping, is the first single to be lifted from Robbie's new album Intensive Care. Erroneously described in the press as Robbie Williams' reggae song, 'Tripping's' rolling rhythm actually owes a greater debt to the early work of The Clash. 'It's something like a mini gangster opera,' Robbie says, 'Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch combined.' The chorus features a tight-trousered falsetto that climbs the scales like a fireman climbs a ladder, and almost touches disco on its lofty ascent. EMI. 2005.Customer review - 2005-11-11
- "There's going to be violence""Tripping" is the initial single from Robbie William's latest CD, "Intensive Care" (available in the U.S. only as an import). I have to admit that I really disliked this song when I heard it the first time. Robbie sings part of the song in a somewhat grating falsetto that overwhelms the song. However, repeated listens reveal a rather good song that is much more varied than it sounds at first. The instrumentation is lush and also very danceable - somewhat reminiscent of 70s disco but rather modern sounding as well. I'm not sure exactly what Robbie is singing about, but the lyrics seem to depict being downtrodden - I've taken as much as I'm willing to take/ Why do you say we should suffer in silence?
The casual fan will probably want to buy the full "Intensive Care" CD instead of this single, especially as the beautiful b-side "Make Me Pure" is included on "Intensive Care" as well. However, it's a nice teaser for the full CD. Robbie consistently produces wonderfully adventuresome pop music, and "Tripping" is a prime example.

- Feel the beatReal catchy chorus. Bob really gets his voice up fairly high. A solid single.
