Reload was released in 1999 as a studio album by Tom Jones, built around collaborations with contemporary artists. The project paired Jones with a range of performers across pop and rock genres, contributing to a significant commercial revival in his career.
Robbie Williams appeared on the album performing a cover of Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way as a duet with Jones. The track retained the original’s driving rock arrangement, with prominent guitar riffs and a high energy vocal exchange between the two singers.
The collaboration highlighted Williams’ affinity for classic rock influences during the late 1990s, aligning with the guitar led material he was releasing at the time through I’ve Been Expecting You.
Reload reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and became one of the best selling albums of Jones’ career. Williams’ contribution formed part of a broader series of high profile duets that defined the album’s crossover appeal.
