Robbie Williams’ maiden voyage into swing and big band vocals, “Swing When You’re Winning” is a fantastic change in style for the singer. Whilst not being an album I would revisit often, the style works really well for him. Notable tracks include “Something Stupid” and “Mr. Bojangles”, with my hidden gem being “Things”.
