Robbie Williams to collaborate with Dame Shirley Bassey

Robbie Williams is pushing all the boundaries with his new album, hooking up with Dame Shirley Bassey for a track.

The former Take That member is getting ready to launch his upcoming 11th studio album, and plans on surprising fans with a change in direction.

Grime star Big Narstie recently revealed that he’s recorded a Robbie track that will also feature electro-duo Basement Jaxx and Dame Shirley Bassey.

“I got a call saying Robbie wanted to do a song with me and Shirley,” Big Narstie told The Sun.

“Thinking it was a prank, I went to the studio – and Robbie was sitting there in his tracksuit. It’s going to shock the world.”

Robbie is clearly experimenting with his new music, having snapped a picture from the recording studio with Example and Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid.
