“This was not just a career defining moment but a hugely personal one too as, like many of us born in the 90s, Robbie has been the sound track to a lot of my life.”

“Apart from now I have a photo, because it actually happened.

As for Rob, he is an anomaly. He’s more than a performer - he’s a frequency, an energy, a powerhouse. He quite literally radiates light.

The fact he features on a track on my new album blows my mind.

“And this took it even further.”

Lucy has released seven albums and Robbie duets on her track sober from her album last year.
