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.
