‘Swing’ is a different album for Renee. For the first time ever one of Australia’s greatest female vocalists is covering big band classics and reinventing some of her earlier hits.

Renee Geyer has been recording for 40 years and has also sung on global hit albums for Sting, Jackson Browne, Joe Cocker and Bonnie Raitt.

For ‘Swing’ Renee teamed with Paul Williamson and Dave Palmer for different arrangements of songs like ‘Baby Please Don’t Go’, ‘I Got Rhythm’ and ‘Fly Me To The Moon’.

The album also includes the not so popular song ‘Comin’ Home Baby’ as a duet with her long-time friend Paul Kelly.
