Mixed Signals
"Mixed Signals" is a song recorded by English singer Robbie Williams for his eleventh studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show (2016). It was written by the members of the American band The Killers and was produced by Stuart Price. Influenced by 1980s music, "Mixed Signals" is a pop rock and soft rock song accompanied with synthesizers usually present in tracks from the 2000s. It received generally favourable reviews from music critics, who highlighted the song on the album and compared it to the previous works by The Killers. Robbie's girlfriend is played by Top London Model, Kirsty Rose Heslewood.
An accompanying music video for "Mixed Signals", filmed in Shoreditch, East London and directed by Ross Anderson, was released on 28 February 2017. It features Williams trying to get in touch with his love interest, whilst she is out partying around the city. Two alternative videos, with different endings, featuring the singer's real life wife Ayda Field and English singer Gary Barlow were also released. Williams performed "Mixed Signals" at the 2017 Brit Awards in a medley with "The Heavy Entertainment Show" and "Love My Life".
"Mixed Signals" was written by Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer, and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., collectively known better as The Killers. It was produced by British electronic musician and producer, Stuart Price. Eventually, the band gave the song to Williams and let him record it for his eleventh studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show (2016).
The singer previewed the song for first time on 14 October 2016, through his official Instagram account. He posted a short snippet of the song and wrote, "Here’s your next taste of #TheHeavyEntertainmentShow – track 3: Mixed Signals. There’ll be a new teaser here on Instagram every day – don’t go anywhere… #MixedSignals." Along with producing it, Price also mixed the song and together with Robert Root engineered it. He also together with Keuning provided the guitars and keyboards alongside Flowers. Stoermer plays the bass guitar on the song, whilst Vannucci Jr. is responsible for the drums. "Mixed Signals" was mastered by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound Studios in New York City.
"Mixed Signals" is a pop rock and soft rock song with a length of three minutes and 58 seconds. It features 1980s music influence accompanied by synthesisers usually present in tracks from the 2000s. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy noted that, it "has that kind of pulsing electric guitar undertone that pushes it towards '80s power-anthem status". Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote that "Mixed Signals" is an "open-road epic" that sounds like a "Runaways" from The Killers's 2012 studio album, Battle Born.
Although the album received generally mixed reviews from music critics, "Mixed Signals" was highlighted. Andi Gill of The Independent wrote that The Killers provided the album with "a little chart-oriented rock punch" on "Mixed Signals". Regarding the song, Kitty Empire of The Observer, in her album review wrote, "Strangely enough, he wears this windswept stuff surprisingly well." Corner of Digital Spy called it a "standout" on the album and further wrote, "Robbie has always had that frontman energy in his delivery, so the lovelorn lyric, pumping chorus and growling vocal will go down a storm at his live show." The Guardian's Tim Jonze was more critical and noted that "Mixed Signals" sounds like a "cartoon version" of works done by American singer Bruce Springsteen. Dave Hanratty of Drowned in Sound called the song a "really cheap knock-off" of The Killers's 2006 single, "When You Were Young".
Commercially, it only charted on the Scottish Singles Charts at number 59.
The accompanying music video for "Mixed Signals" was filmed in early February in Shoreditch, East London. The Evening Standard reported that Williams's former bandmate, singer Gary Barlow, was also spotted on the set. It was directed by Ross Anderson, whilst Matt Frost served as its producer for Nice & Polite production company. Anderson was also an executive producer and Bianca Di Marco acted as a production manager of the video. The direction of photography was provided by Matthew North, whilst Jade Mortimer was the art director. Christian Lyndon edited the clip for Absolute Post which also was a post production company. The video premiered on 28 February 2017 and was subsequently uploaded on Williams's official YouTube channel.
