Westlife Swap Pop For Swing

22 July 2004

Irish group Westlife will bring out a swing-classics album in time for Christmas.

The boy-band is following in the example of singer Robbie Williams, who in 2001 released the mega-successful 'Swing When You're Winning' album which featured songs by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

A source revealed: "It's all Simon Cowell's (American Idol judge) idea. He reckons the album will be a huge hit. All those songs like "Strangers In The Night", "The Lady Is A Tramp", "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "My Way" are such classics that they just can't fail.

"The TV show has just been sorted out. It'll appeal to their fans of all age groups. The boys have just finished their tour and couldn't wait to get their teeth sunk into something new."
