11 - Swings Both Ways

Don't hedge your bets, double down! The boys come out of the sandbox to analyse Robbie Williams's tenth solo album, and second Swing album, 2013's Swings Both Ways. Featuring half covers, half original material, and a guest list including Lily Allen, Michael Bublé, and Olly Murs, Robbie takes another swing at the Big Band sound that he first experimented with on 2002's Swing When You're Winning, and reunites with songwriting partner Guy Chambers for the first time since 2004. Much attention is paid to the cheeky title track, a duet with Rufus Wainwright about sexuality, and the nightmarish No One Likes A Fat Pop Star, before a kind of bizarre energy sets in that derails the whole episode. In possibly the strangest episode yet, the gang manage to examine the mentor/protégé relationship between Williams and Olly Murs, the intersection of diet and class in the United Kingdom, and why every single deluxe album looks the same. Allow this episode to swing both ways (into your left and right ears) to find out more.

(Down The Robbie Hole was recorded from 2019-2020)
