Life Thru A Lens

Life Thru A Lens

 Life Thru A Lens was the first solo album by English pop singer Robbie Williams after his former band Take That split. After trying to find his own sound during a harrowing period for him, recordings for the album began at London’s Maison Rouge studios in March of that year, shortly after his introduction to Guy Chambers.
