Swing (Renée Geyer album)

Swing is a studio album by Australian soul, blues, and jazz singer Renée Geyer, released in August 1985. It was Geyer's ninth studio album, and marked a departure from her previous R&B and soul-oriented sound, embracing a jazz and swing style.

The album features covers of classic swing and jazz standards, showcasing Geyer's vocal versatility and her ability to interpret these genres. The arrangements are generally traditional, emphasizing the musicality of the original compositions while allowing Geyer's distinctive voice to shine.

Although Swing received positive critical reviews for Geyer's vocal performances and the album's arrangements, it was not a commercial success compared to some of her earlier work. It did, however, demonstrate Geyer's willingness to explore different musical styles and broaden her artistic range. The album remains a notable entry in her discography, highlighting her capabilities beyond her signature R&B sound.

Notable tracks include Geyer's interpretations of well-known standards such as "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Goody Goody", and "Crazy Rhythm". The album was produced by Joe Galdo.
