Description
This record contains his version of many classics such as the first single 'Stop Me' which is a stunning immaculate spin on The Smith's seminal 'Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before' which meets The Supremes 'You Keep Me Hanging On', the irrepressible musical talents of Dirt McGirt aka ODB (R.I.P) spitting verse on Britney's 'Toxic', Robbie Williams nailing The Charlatan's seminal 'Only One I Know' as if it was his own and then there's Lily Allen on a phenomenal interpolation of The Kaiser Chief's "Oh My God'.
