Take That's Robbie Williams has revealed that Gary Barlow has co-written and produced his new solo album.

Williams said the pair, who are currently on tour with Take That, are still working on the project.

“Gaz is great for me because he knows how I should sound,” the singer told Esquire. “He wanted to make a Lennon and McCartney-type album. That was his big idea - big, standard records.”

Williams continued: “At the minute it's just me and him finishing the album and I love it. Love my friendship with him. Love that he regards me as an equal.

'Gary is kind of unemotional about stuff. I'm emotional about stuff. He's solid. I'm fickle. He gets stuff done, I don't.”

Williams released his last solo album 'Reality Killed The Video Star' in 2009 and is currently without a record deal.
