Rumour No. 5249: Robert Pattinson Is Recording An Album! *Updated*
I would give anything for this rumour to be true, but it’s probably not so I thought I would use the excuse to post Rob’s Songs From a Room performance. Â According to Us Weekly:
“Robert Pattinson, rock star?
The British actor, 25, is prepping to record an album imminently, two sources tell Us Weekly.
Rob has been kicking a few original songs around for a long time, but his schedule didn’t allow it,” one insider explains of the superstar, who recorded two songs, “Never Think” (which he co-wrote with pal Sam Bradley) and “Let Me Sign” for the original Twilight soundtrack.
“Now he’s got some weeks to get everything in line before going back to promoting Breaking Dawn.”
But don’t expect a chart-topping album with broad mass appeal and a string of top 40 hits. “The album Rob will make will be guitar-based and drums, very organic-sounding, nothing pop,” explains a second source of the indie-music fan, “Like stripped-down Ray LaMontagne meets Van Morrison.” …
“Music is his first love!” says the second source. “He’s tortured because he avoids it. When he’s sitting around jamming in the studio, it’s his favorite moment of life.”
To prep for the recording session, the guitar player has been “studying on on other instruments — like piano and horns,” the first source reveals. “It’s an obsession for him.”
Ok well let’s break down what is actually said in this article and  how many inaccuracies are in it:
1. Â “Imminently” – doesn’t that mean likely to happen? Â So in actual fact it has been “imminent” for the last 5 or so years really.
2. Â Rob didn’t co-write Never Think – Sam wrote the original and Rob kind of tweeked the Twilight version … right.
3. Â I hope they mean by some weeks to get everything in line they are just talking about booking the recording studio and other musicians and not actually recording the album. Â Let’s face it – Rob’s pretty much had the last 8 or so weeks to “get everything in line”.
4. Oh I think you CAN expect a chart topping album – it doesn’t have to have top 40 hits to be successful. Â Plus Rob has something the majority of top 40 artists don’t have and that’s talent. Â Bwahahahaha sorry but guitar based and drums – um I think you just described every rock band there is … oops sorry I digress.
5. Â Okay studying on other instruments “like piano and horns”. Â Rob doesn’t need to study piano …
Hmmmm I think I could have written a better and more accurate article about Rob’s “imminent” recording deal.
Right … so I just really posted this in the hope of putting it out there and it may happen, plus I think even though we all WANT Rob to record an album, he has said time and time again that he doesn’t want to look like he’s cashing in on his career. Â I gather Rob will pretty much tell us he’s doing it before it happens and I can’t really believe he could slip into a recording studio without anyone noticing although stranger things have happened.
Scroll back up and click on pic to listen to Rob perform … *SWOON*
Updated: MTV have debunked, even though I pretty much think I debunked it above. It’s not rocket science. Anyway if you want further confirmation that this is just a rumour, click on MTV link. Oh and by the way MTV can you just stop it with the Twilight references he is MORE than a BD Star in fact I believe currently he should be referred to as the Water For Elephants star .. jesus I’m beginning to think the “T” in MTV stands for Twilight.

Thanks Maria – and LOL at your break down of the ‘facts’ hahaha Just perfect. Yeah – if we had a pound/dollar/whatever for every time we hear this particular rumour we’d all be millionaires. 😉 Doesn’t mean I’m not going to sit here and do some positive chanting in the hopes that he gets time to do this one day.
I look forward to whatever he does in the future – it’s an exciting time. I truly feel his talent has no limits. *happy sigh*
liz
I’m sorry.
I thought my birthday was in May.
It must have been moved to today.
Even a rumour of an album is enough o make me a very VERY happy girl.
Maria
Hahaha @Liz I almost put in the post “Liz this one’s for you” and I knew you would make an appearance.
I doubt it’s true, but we can all live and hope.
MONY
No lamentablemente el rumor ya fue desmentido por MTV….
Ellos se comunicaron con el representante de Robert y dijo que no estaba trabajando en ningún álbum en este momento.
.MTV News reached out to Pattinson’s rep, who told us, “The report is untrue. He is not working on an album right now.â€
Beth
I just heard on The Morning Show that he is recording an album at the moment; it would be wonderful & I would love if it was true
Maria
He’s not Beth – his reps have said he isn’t. Plus I thought I pretty much proved that this rumour was rubbish. This rumour started whilst Rob was in London.
That’s why I’ve put the MTV link. I’m convinced nobody reads what I write LOL
Maria
BTW this rumour surfaces every 6 months or whenever Rob is in between projects or slow news days.
Maria
Thanks @MONY but I’ve already linked the MTV article to this post. Cheers
Vicky
*sigh* I always wish these rumours were true but, this one in particular I would love. One day, *goes off to dream*. Thanks for the updates Maria.
Cindy
Your mood pic says it all @Maria….Always has always will… 🙂
liz
@Maria LOL! You know me too well!
Vertigo
LOL Maria. I don’t think I need to click on MTV’s link because I’m pretty sure I like your debunking better.
Thanks for the sofar performance today. 😀
Michelle
Ditto to your comment Vertigo. MTV, we don’t need you to debunk, Maria has already done it & yep I know without reading yours, hers would be MUCH better!
Rob’s beautiful Sofar performance was exactly the soothing I needed on the way to work this morning *sigh* 😀 His voice is just beyond words!
Carmel
I know it’s just a rumour that does the rounds during a quiet time.
I know this.
I read your debunking Maria and I know you are completely right.
However I do enjoy the dreaming. I can’t think of a single thing I would wish for more that to experience Rob playing live somewhere small and intimate.
oceanpebble
Having being seen outside some label studio, is not proof for recording an album. Maybe someday… Maybe a single unplugged show on MTV to c keep dreaming and looking forward to listen to his own music.
Maria
@oceanpebble to be honest unless i hear it come straight out of Rob’s mouth I pretty much believe nothing …
