Robbie Williams has returned to the format of 2001's big band-era cover album, Swing When You're Winning, one of the most successful of his career, but this time with six original songs, and oodles more self-deprecating camp. Swing Supreme – one of a clutch of songs written with Angels co-writer Guy Chambers – depicts an ennui-laden rock star hankering after the jazz age with one-liners such as "a tumour in your humour", while the title track finds Rufus Wainwright telling the singer, "Face it, Robbie, you're a little bit gay." Celebrity guests (Lily Allen, Olly Murs, Michael Buble), brass and finger-clicks abound, and lots of the tracks swing so much you can almost smell the brilliantine. Some of the covers are too well-worn (Minnie the Moocher and Puttin' On the Ritz), but Snowblind's admission of vulnerability is rather moving, and the recent father's Go Gentle – complete with one of pop's great whistled middle eights – may be the most touching declaration of parental love/responsibility since David Bowie's Kooks.
