Escapology Is A 2002 Album By Robbie Williams His Fifth Solo Effort And His Last With Producer And Co-Songwriter Guy Chambers. The Most Successful Singles Released From The Album Were "Feel" And "Something Beautiful". Escapology Was Arguably Conceived As A Concept Album Due To Its Lyrics Being Totally Reflective About Williams' Life As A Popstar In Los Angeles Particularly His Hopes "Hot Fudge" And Fears "Monsoon" . Williams Has Said Of The Album That "half Of It Is Written From The Standpoint Of 'Look This Is Really Me With My Tears Of A Clown. Do They Love Me Or Hate Me?' The Rest Of It Is About Somebody That I Have To Think I Am To Get Up Onstage. Because Little Me Wouldn't Get Up There. It's Too Scary!"
