They say don't change the old for the new But I've found out that this will never do When you grow old you don't last long You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone I loved a man for many years gone by I thought his love for me would never die He made some changes that would never do From now on I'm goin' to make some changes too For there's a change in the weather There's a change in the sea From now on there'll be a change in me My walk will be different, my talk and my name Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff 'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made For there's a change in the weather There's a change in the sea From now on there'll be a change in me My walk will be different, my talk and my name Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough Then I'll change the way I strut my stuff Nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made today Be some changes made I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff 'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made

You told me that I was like an angel Told me I was fit to wear a crown So that you could get a thrill You put me on a pedestal And then you let me down, let me down I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to fall so far I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to fall so far I was even looking for a cottage I was measured for a wedding gown That how I got cynical You put me on a pinnacle And then you let me down, let me down How you let me down, down Let me down I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to fall so far

about

Less than a year after his debut #electroswing LP on Freshly Squeezed and THE SWING BOT has not been resting. Despite notching up over 6 million streams on Spotify alone with this, already we're here with the 7th and 8th songs since. Now combining predominantly very early vocal jazz and swing, cut up and recontextualised with hip hop and minimal house beats, the likes of Count Basie and (here) Billie Holiday are sampled.

Combined with his leading edge AI video work and trademark moustache-headed resident DJ spot on tour with the Party Like Gatsby crew across Europe, you just can't stop the bot!
