The singer recently renewed his publishing deal with Sony/ATV, but is putting on hold writing for other artists to work on tracks for the 'Greatest Day' band.

"He's got to focus on the Take That record with the rest of the guys and they're doing it now, but he's not a man who sits around," Sony/ATV UK managing director Rak Sanghvi told Music Week.

"He's got his own label imprint through Universal. He's a really driven and prolific songwriter and artist and I'm sure the second the Take That record is in the bag he'll be off doing other projects.”

Barlow has recently written material for artists including John Barrowman, Dame Shirley Bassey, Alesha Dixon, Katherine Jenkins, N-Dubz and Peter Kay, while also launching new singer Camilla Kerslake through his own Future label.

Take That are expected to release their next studio album later this year and tour again in 2011.

The group have notched up nearly 4.8 million combined sales of their past two albums Beautiful World and The Circus.

But artists hoping for a hit penned by the TAKE THAT frontman will have to wait - he's concentrating on the band's next album.

The follow-up to The Circus is expected later this year and plans are underway for a tour in 2011.

Gary and the boys, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN and HOWARD DONALD, have shifted a whopping 4.8million albums since they reformed and, with ROBBIE WILLIAMS rumoured to feature, I can see the next CD selling another few million.

Gary is delighted to renew his partnership with Sony, who publish his songs.

He said: "Because songwriting is such a huge part of what I do, my relationship with Sony is really important."

Gary has written tracks for N-DUBZ, ALESHA DIXON and DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY, but they and other big names will just have to be patient.

The Take That singer – who has penned tracks for a host of other artists, including Dame Shirley Bassey and N-Dubz – is delighted to have extended his publishing contract with the group so he can continue writing for other people.

He said: “Because songwriting is such a huge part of what I do, the partnership with Sony is so important.”

However, any pop stars hoping for a track from the ‘Patience’ hitmaker may have a long wait as Gary is currently tied up with recording the next Take That album, the follow-up to 2008’s hit LP ‘The Circus’.

Sony/ATV boss Rak Sanghvi said: “He’s got to focus on the Take That record with the rest of the guys and they’re doing it now, but he’s not a man who sits around.

“I’m sure the second the Take That record is in the bag he’ll be off on other projects.”

It was recently reported that Take That – Gary, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald – have teamed up with their former bandmate Robbie Williams to record five songs for their new LP, which is expected to be released later this year.

Robbie, 36, was yesterday secretly holed up in a studio with GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE.

Love-rat Mark Owen had waled out of the sessions in Box, Wilts, on Wednesday in a bid to save his marriage.

The recording marks the first time all five have worked together on new material since Robbie quit in 1995.

One studio worker said: "It's amazing seeing them back together. They've been getting on like a house on fire."

A studio insider confirmed the pair have been in the studio working on new material.

This week Mr Williams told the Radio Times that he has been writing songs with Mr Barlow and that he had an exciting album project lined up for release later this year.

Real World Studios manager Eleanor Household said that she cannot confirm or deny any of the rumours as Real World Studios are private recording studios.

Mr Williams sold his £7 million mansion at Compton Bassett, near Calne, before Christmas, complaining the weather was too cold in Wiltshire.

His close friend Jonathan Wilkes lives near Wootton Bassett.

Box youth club, the Green Room, helper Vicki Shepherd, 32, of Katherine Park, Corsham, said: “I think this is the most amazing news ever. I am a huge Take That fan. I think they are wonderful.

“It’s great news they could be getting back together as I think Robbie is brilliant.

“It would be good if they could come and say hello to our youth group.”

The 36-year-old singer who left the band in 1995 has been recording new material at the Real World Studios at Box, according to newspaper reports.

The studios, owned by singer Peter Gabriel, never comment on who is using them.

It would be the first time in 15 years that Williams has recorded with his former band colleagues.

Singer Mark Owen is said to have checked out of the sessions earlier this week after revelations about his private life.

Williams, who has recently sold a house he owned near Calne, told the Radio Times earlier this month that he was writing with Take That's Gary Barlow again.

Williams has previously stayed at what was then actress Jane Seymour's mansion at Batheaston while recording at Box.

The band had booked a recording studio in Wiltshire last weekend, but it was cancelled after Owen's wife Emma kicked him out over his 10 affairs.

Owen, 38, who is receiving help for issues with booze, drugs and depression while at the clinic, has been told by the band he can take as much time out as he needs.

A source said: "They were all heading down there, Robbie included, but the plan has been scrapped for now. All they care about is Mark at the moment and it wouldn't feel the same all of them practising for their comeback without him."

A Mirror scoop told last year how the band, which also includes Jason Orange, Gary Barlow and Howard Donald, spent time in a recording studio in New York last September.

But the insider said: "All excitement about the future is very much on hold because Mark's got to get better first."

Meanwhile, Mark's friends say it's "far too early" for Emma to have made any decisions about taking the cheating singer back.

The pal said: "She wants to see how Mark responds to treatment. Believe it or not, she does want him to get better - for his own sanity if nothing else."

Прайс выпустил с Мадонной альбом Confessions On A Dancefloor, с THE KILLERS альбом Day & Age и получил Грэмми за ремиксы COLDPLAY - Talk и NO DOUBT - In My Life.

Ребята с Прайсом работают над новым звучанием. Они хотят чтобы в их музыке стало больше диско и танцевальности.

Альбом пока ещё не имеет названия, но уже точно на нём будет песня с Робби!

IT'S not been the best couple of weeks for TAKE THAT - but at last here's some exciting news about their music.

The man band, rocked by MARK OWEN's admission of ten affairs, have hired MADONNA's chief sonic architect STUART PRICE to oversee their next album.

Price made his name working with Madge on her Confessions On A Dancefloor CD in his bedroom studio.

He also produced the last THE KILLERS album Day & Age, and has picked up Grammy Awards for his remixes of COLDPLAY's Talk and NO DOUBT's In My Life.

GARY BARLOW, Mark, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE are busy working with British maestro Stuart to sculpt a brand new sound.

They want him to steer their music in more of a disco and dance direction.

A source said: "It's a bold move by the lads to make the next album more interesting.

"They've played it safe in the past with mainstream producers.

"But this will take things up a notch. The plan is for Stuart to then work on the sound of their next live tour and bring the whole thing together.

"Howard, a successful DJ in his own right, has been championing Stuart."

Sounds like a good collaboration but it could be quite camp. Price has just finished the next SCISSOR SISTERS album.

Take That's past two albums, The Circus and Beautiful World, were produced by American rocker JOHN SHANKS.The new project - still untitled - is shaping up to be the most exciting album in Take That's 20-year career.

For a start it will be their first since 1995's Nobody Else to feature ROBBIE WILLIAMS.

Expect it to be released by the end of the year.
