The ‘Angels’ hitmaker has collaborated with the interior designer for five years and is finally set to display all 14 pieces – including those by artists such as Damien Hirst, Banksy and Jean-Michel Basquiat – in the exhibition ‘Black and White Paintings’ celebrating 1990s rave culture, followed by an auction at Sotheby’s in London.
Regarding the exhibition, which will run from May 13 to 25, the 48-year-old singer said, “Art really is what you want it to be.
“Like music, it has the ability to soothe and provide companionship when you’re alone.”
Robbie and Ed are preparing to sell one of their own creations for the first time – a photo titled ‘Beverly’, which is set to fetch £20,000 at the Contemporary Curated auction – and the star believes in the ‘power’ that the music and art have influenced his approach to life.
He added: “Art and music have punctuated my ups and downs but, more importantly, they both have the power to change how I feel in an instant.”
The ‘Let Me Entertain You’ hitmaker compared the dynamic he shares with Ed to that of a band.

I love this song on TikTok!
TikTok is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, especially after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Those who know him know that some clips can go viral in just minutes. What’s wonderful is that some of these videos feature many of our favorite songs, and others brought back iconic hits. Find out which celebrity songs are among some of the most famous TikTok trends and learn the meaning behind them.
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
Released in 2008, this song became very popular not only more than ten years ago but also recently by being featured in some TikTok videos. The track, as its title suggests, is often used in hilarious music videos where people show their real names, but then move on to sharing the nicknames they’re also known for.
Boney M – Rasputin
German band Boney M’s disco song, originally released in 1977, quickly found itself a fan favorite on TikTok. The track featured in the ‘Nightflight to Venus’ album has been used by users of the platform in videos where they dance like the guys from Boney M in the original video, or simply follow the lyrics of the song.
Britney Spears – Oops!… I did it again
One of the most iconic songs from one of the Queens of Pop has also been featured multiple times on TikTok. Those who used it as their music video soundtrack are referring, as the song’s name suggests, to something they promised they wouldn’t do again, but ended up failing trying to keep their promise. . Some examples are no longer having pets, no longer going to wild parties, no fighting with partners, etc.
Sir Rod Stewart – Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?
The Sir Rod Stewart track that took everyone to the dance floor in the late 70s nailed it again a few months ago and people are now moving their feet on TikTok! The song has been featured in numerous videos where users dance to the same choreography while listening to the British legend. Rod himself joined the trend and posted a clip of himself dancing to his song!
Taylor Swift – Shake It Up
Next on our list is our beloved pop and country music diva, Taylor Swift, who released her song “Shake It Off”, in 2014. Part of the lyrics says “I got nothing on my brain”, a quote which OF COURSE fans immediately took to adding to their TikTok videos. These usually revolve around pets that fail to be pets. Falls, scares, pranks, and more are some of the main topics.
Nelly Furtado – Say it right
One of TikTok’s most recent trends is one that started with a clip of a guy standing in front of the mirror dancing to Nelly Furtado’s 2006 track. Her fans as well as the general TT community joined the challenge by sharing their own versions of it…including Nelly herself!
Beyoncé – Score
Of course Queen B couldn’t be outdone! Known for her sexy dance moves both in her videos and on stage, fans were quick to emulate them. In her 2013, Beyoncé sings “give me some,” a quote that’s now featured in the “drop challenge,” where TikTok users do a sexy squat right after listening to it!
Psy Gangnam Style
OK. This trend is not exactly the most exciting. In fact, the videos featuring the South Korean star’s song are actually emotional and harsh. We all danced to the PSY track back in 2013, and for the past few days we’ve been listening to it again on TikTok. This trend revolves around users sharing clips that usually end with the revelation of one of their traumatic and/or devastating life events.
Pharrell Williams – Happy
While rapper and producer Pharrell Williams was part of the band NERD, as well as songwriting duo The Neptunes, admittedly he’s best known for his 2013 song “Happy.” This track, as the name suggests, is featured in many TikTok videos that revolve around different types of happiness.
Louis Prima – Che La Luna
The “things that make sense” trend is a favorite of the TikTok community. This usually shows a list of characteristics of users’ homes, things their pets do, or personality traits of their loved ones, which JUST make sense. The song that accompanies this funny trend is the one released in 1964 by the king of swing, Louis Prima.

Robbie explained: “Ed’s and my outlook on life and sensibilities are eerily similar. In terms of music, Ed plays the piano, while I write the melodies and lyrics.
“To continue the metaphor, we also write songs separately and put them together. We are in a group.
Meanwhile, Ed thinks the work they do together “takes the beat of everything playing”.
He added: “I create art and I can spend hours discussing art with Robbie because we have similar brains, which are in no way combative, just progressive and full of ideas all the time. .
“Our paintings take the beat of whatever is playing – and it’s usually electronic music.
“Everyone will see something different in each image, whether it’s the influence of the music being played at the time or something else.”
Robbie revealed he started ‘collecting’ when his solo career took off after leaving boy band Take That while sharing tips for ‘booming collectors’.
He said: “I started collecting when I wrote Angels, it gave me the financial ability to collect.
“For you budding collectors, my advice would be to buy what you like – I haven’t been disappointed.
“It’s important to engage with the art you buy, and you need to have an emotional response to the work.”
