We're not sure the music world can handle this collision of outspoken pop egos. But it has happened. And it's set to appear on Robbie Williams' new album, Swing Both Ways.
Yes, Lily Rose Cooper (Allen) has recorded a duet with the former Take That star. The song? Dream A Little Dream, which has previously been performed by greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, The Mamas & The Papas, Doris Day. Oh, and The Courteeners.
Speaking about the track, Lily apparently said: "Dream A Little Dream is one of my favourite songs of all time so I didn't hesitate when Robbie asked me if I'd like to duet with him on it. I was a bit nervous when we recorded it, especially when I asked him what he wanted me to do and he said something like 'just be you'. But I'm really happy with it and think we do justice to a classic song."
Other artists set to appear on the album include Rufus Wainwright, Kelly Clarkson, Olly Murs and Michael Bublé.
The record will see Williams cover a number of jazz classics, including Minnie The Moocher, Puttin' On The Ritz and I Wan'na Be Like You.
It will also feature six new songs, which Williams has co-written with long-time collaborator, Guy Chambers. One of which is called No One Likes A Fat Pop Star.
Of the new LP, Williams says: "I always knew I'd do another and I think now is the perfect time to do it. I'm enjoying showbiz and I'm enjoying my life and my understanding of where I am now is that there needs to be an event every time I bring out a record. The album this time is a definite ode and a loving glance towards a period on the planet that I was never invited to 'cos I wasn't there… I wanted to be, which I feel still very strongly linked to."
