Robbie Williams - Shine My Shoes

Good news for everyone who likes the Robbie Williams of old, and by that I don't mean his days with boyband Take That. He's reunited with ace songwriter Guy Chambers who helped him to all his early successes as co-writer and producer, a relationship they have both capitalized on big time, whereas their success rates when apart have been of the more dubious kind. Not only that, they have reunited for Williams' second swing album, Swings Both Ways (to be released November 15th), the follow-up to 2001's Swing When You're Winning. With one exception, Chambers' and Williams' co-write "I Will Talk And Hollywood Will Listen", that album was exclusively filled with covers of well-known standards such as "Mr. Bojangles" and "Something Stupid". This time around there are six Chambers/Williams co-writes, including first single "Shine My Shoes", and the title track which is a duet with Rufus Wainwright who's co-credited with writing the song. Elsewhere there are duets with Lily Allen, Olly Murs, Michael Bublé and Kelly Clarkson. Below you'll find a link to "Shine My Shoes" as well as a short trailer for the album featuring clips from several songs and duet partners. This sounds like great fun!
