Robbie Williams is reportedly planning to release his debut album with electronic group Lufthaus.
The Love My life singer fronts the dance band, which also stars Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, and the trio are expected to unveil their first LP this autumn.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “The album will be out in the autumn. It is a momentous time for Robbie, Tim and Flynn.
“This is a real passion project for Rob and he has loved being able to create new music which is the polar opposite of his back catalogue.
“Lufthaus are ready to make their mark on the dance music industry and Robbie thinks the group can go far.”
Tim and Flynn have been touring with Robbie as the opening act of his current ‘XXV Tour’ and, as a member of the group, the former Take That star has already released the singles Sway and Soul Seekers.
The source added: “Tim and Robbie are performing as Lufthaus ahead of Robbie’s solo set on his tour and the reception has been incredible.”
Earlier this year, Robbie confirmed he had “a vault” of Lufthaus songs but remained coy about the idea of releasing a full-length project.
“I have got two albums coming out pretty soon,” he shared. “I have a vault of new Lufthaus stuff. I could do three albums of it as Robbie Williams but new stuff gets written and you get excited about that. I want to put an album out before the summer
“I am not sure if there will be a Lufthaus album. We did Ibiza and everybody goes mad and the DJ said, ‘They love us mate.’ We are trying to figure out what live entity Lufthaus is.
“I would [also] like to do a ‘Rudebox 2’ but I change with the wind.”
