What happened to "Paradise"? Tony Bennett said Gaga wrote it and it was a solo song for her on the album!

Probably scrapped so that Gaga solos won't make up the majority of the album :nocheer:

Hear Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's Latest 'Cheek to Cheek' Love Song

"Gee, I'd like to say you're looking swell, Tony," Lady Gaga sings midway through her swinging duet, "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," with easy-listening luminary Tony Bennett. "Diamond bracelets won't work, doesn't sell, Gaga," Bennett later rejoins.

 

The song is a particularly jazzy standard, originally written with a few ess "Gagas" in 1928 by lyricist Dorothy Fields and composer Jimmy McHugh, and will appear on the pop singers' duets album Cheek to Cheek. The album is due out in standard and deluxe editions on September 23rd, with an official video for the song set for release later this week. Previously, the vocalists released their recording of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes," which will also appear on Cheek to Cheek.

 

The collaborative album has been long in the works. Bennett first heard Gaga sing a jazz song, Nat King Cole's "Orange Colored Sky," in 2011, after which he asked her to appear on a recording of "The Lady Is a Tramp" on his Duets II album, which came out later that year.

 

Now the group has prepared Cheek to Cheek, which compiles songs from the great American songbook, including tunes written or co-written by Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Van Heusen, among others. Among them is Bennett's favorite Gaga performance, "Lush Life," which she performs solo on the album. "It's pretty special," Bennett said of the performance in July.

 

"It's all the great songs of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, all the greatest composers," Bennett told Rolling Stone. "No other country has ever given the rest of the world so many magnificent songs, and they're going to live forever. Wait 'til you find out when she sings those songs."

 

The singers also filmed a PBS special, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!, which will air on Great Performances on October 24th at 9 p.m. EST. It features the vocalists' performances at the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City at a concert that took place at the end of July.

 

TV channel HSN will also broadcast another special, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek To Cheek, on September 13th. It will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album.

THAT'S MUNNI HUNNI

:o

I can't get over the dodgy photoshopping on the album cover which makes them both look like wax work.

Billboard:

"I received the music for that," Bennett says. "When I told Lady Gaga, I said, 'If ('Cheek To Cheek') goes well, we could do a follow-up with Cole Porter, 'Red, Hot & Blue.' She said, 'Why wait? Let's do it right away.' So we're gonna do two albums in a row with her. We'll have to try and do that as soon as possible, just as a follow-up for a second album."

Oh my gosh all this on-point promo! :cheer:

'Lush Life' is a gorgeous song so I can't wait to hear her version of it. :wub:

Be interesting to hear how Gaga tackles Bang Bang, nothing will beat Cher's original though.

'I Won't Dance' Preview

 

'It Don't Mean a Thing' Preview

 

YAAAAAASSSSSS

 

Each song is better than the last one, seriously. I never thought I'd say this but I am so f***ing excited for this album! :bounce:

 

The album is getting loads of promo on ESPN too and during the US Open Tennis, I heard 'Anything Goes' last night which also continues to grow on me <3

I hope this album performs well - it's such good quality compared to ARTPOP!
