New Music: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - "Anything Goes" [Premiere / Review]

lady gaga anything goes single cover

Surprise! And just like that here is the first official single from the upcoming Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga first joint jazz album in history “Cheek to Cheek”. The single is a cover of the Cole Porter classic “Anything Goes”, which was made available for purchase on iTunes today, July 29. No one was expecting the first single to drop today, so yeah, this is truly a surprise, and a lovely one I shall say! “Cheek to Cheek” is going to be a jazz album filled with covers (although I hear there will be at least a couple of originals) and expect to have it in your hands or downloaded on your smartphone this Fall when Interscope Records finally releases it. “Cheek to Cheek” was supposed to become on January 1, 2014 but the label decided for a long push back.

Review of “Anything Goes”

Gaga and Tony certainly do justice to the 1934 song “Anything Goes” by Mr. Cole Porter. Lovely jazz production, great vocals by both artists and exciting climax at the end! “I’m familiar with all the songs in the Great American Songbook, but we thought that this song was so much fun and we love singing it together,” Ms. Gaga said of the duet. “It’s got this real sexy, powerful vibe to it, and it’s just because we’re having fun singing it". It's just amazing how well jazz music suits Gaga. The Gaga we know may have been born in 1986, but who knows if she was a jazz singer in a previous life!
