Featuring some great special guest appearances
Robbie Williams is set to release his first Christmas album. So that's at least one of your presents - most likely for mammy - sorted.
This marks the 13th studio album from the pop music legend. Robbie croons alongside such special guests as Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Jamie Cullum and Tyson Fury on it.
'The Christmas Present' is available in CD (standard and deluxe), vinyl and cassette formats. The double album will feature two discs – ‘Christmas Past’ and ‘Christmas Future’ – which include a mix of original songs and festive covers with star guest appearances.
Disc 1: ‘Christmas Past’ includes ‘Winter Wonderland’ (with backing vocals from the LMA choir), ‘Santa Baby’ featuring German singer Helene Fischer, ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’, a cover of ‘The Christmas Song’, Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ featuring Jamie Cullum, and ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’, a duet with Robbie’s father Peter Conway.
Disc 2: ‘Christmas Future’, meanwhile, includes the original tracks ‘Time For Change’, ‘Home’, ‘Fairytales’ featuring Rod Stewart and ‘Bad Sharon’ with boxing champ Tyson Fury, plus the covers ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ featuring Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams and ‘I Believe In Father Christmas’.
