Swing is the fifteenth and final studio album by Australian soul and R&B singer Renée Geyer. The album was released on 19 April 2013 and peaked at number 22 on the ARIA Charts.
Swing is Geyer's big band interpretation of classics as well as remakes of two of her own hits, "Say I Love You" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". Geyer told The Sydney Morning Herald that Swing was inspired by Frank Sinatra's 1966 recording with Count Basie in Las Vegas, an album she had long admired. It took the success of Michael Buble to convince her that she should lend her distinctive voice to a big-band album.
Geyer toured the album across 2013. At the 2013 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Jazz Album, losing to Smile by the Idea Of North.
