Berlin, Nov 19: British pop singer Robbie Williams has chosen the German capital to present his fifth solo album, "Escapology." Williams told a group of international journalists at the British embassy in Berlin on Monday (November 18) that "this is the biggest buzz for me and I'm loving life." "Escapology" contains fourteen new songs and is on sale as of Monday. Asked why he chose Berlin to present his latest album, Williams told reporters he had no idea. "Actually, I knew that question was going to be asked when I was in the toilet, thinking: why am I here? I don't know."


However, Williams does know that he does not care whether or not his music sells in the United States. "I'm completely not bothered. But the absolute truth is: I'm really not interested in breaking America. It's too much hard work," Williams said.

"I'll be a new artist there. I can't be asked. It's too much of a fight. I got me money now. Thank you."


The 28-year-old singer has sold some 20 million albums and "Swing When You're Winning" released last year topped the charts and sold 1.2 million copies in Germany alone.
