Bruno Mars to release his first female collaboration
Quote:
“Old & Crazy,” a bonus track on the album’s special Target edition featuring a face-to-face duet with Esperanza Spalding that Bhasker calls a “kooky, true-jazz classic, like ‘Pennies From Heaven.’ It’s sounds like a song you’d hear in a club in 1920s Paris, even though we recorded it on a laptop; we even use old microphones to give it that feel. It started with an Emile beat, and then I added a Django Reinhardt sample that I screwed with in Ableton; then Esperanza came in and nailed her bass and vocal parts live, like an old pro.”
Esperanza Spalding is a jazz bassist and singer, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 53rd Grammy Awards,making her the first jazz artist to win the award.
I'm so proud of him.
He didn't choose some mainstream singer. He's rooting for quality, Just as I expected him to.
Esperanza is the best choice he could've make imo. I LOVE her.....
E&B in one tune together will be just too much to handle
