About
Let Robbie entertain with his suave take on American swing classics. A bold project starts as such with "I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen" and his “Mr Bojangles” captures the Rat Pack’s reverie and mischief. Williams receives help from some starry friends, too: Nicole Kidman drops in to exchange sweet nothings for a thoroughly charming "Somethin' Stupid", while Rupert Everett is a revelation on the bluesy duet "They Can't Take That Away From Me".
