Take That have suggested that their days of making full albums might be behind them, revealing that they’re more interested in focusing on singles going forward.
The iconic British pop group, known for their string of chart-topping records and enduring popularity over three decades, opened up about their shifting approach to releasing music. Despite recently enjoying success with their latest album This Life, the band have admitted that their interest in crafting full-length albums is waning.
Speaking candidly, the trio – Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald, explained that the traditional album format doesn’t quite suit their current mindset or the way music is consumed today. “We don’t really want to do albums anymore,” they shared. “We just want to put singles out.”
The revelation marks a significant moment in the group’s evolution, especially considering their rich history of multi-platinum albums and carefully crafted eras. Since their early ‘90s breakthrough, Take That have released a string of iconic records, from Everything Changes and Beautiful World to their post-reunion albums like Progress and Wonderland.
But the way fans engage with music has changed drastically in recent years, and the group appears ready to embrace a more flexible, fast-moving approach that aligns with the digital age. Releasing singles allows for greater spontaneity and creativity, as well as the opportunity to keep fans consistently engaged without the long waits that often come with full album cycles.
“We love the idea of dropping songs when we feel like it, and when we’re inspired,” they added. “It’s less pressure, and we can respond more to what’s happening in the world and in our lives.”
While the news may come as a surprise to some fans who still cherish the album format, others are welcoming the idea of more frequent releases and the possibility of new music landing unexpectedly. The shift also gives Take That the chance to experiment with different styles and collaborations without being tied to the structure of an album.
Despite their change in approach, the band remain as active and popular as ever, continuing to tour and perform to sold-out crowds across the UK and beyond. Their legacy as one of Britain’s most beloved pop acts remains firmly intact, and if their next chapter is built on a steady stream of singles, it’s clear they still have plenty more to say.
