To kick things off, the pair join the bandwagon of covering the 1934 Cole Porter classic Anything Goes, and nailed it GaGa’s voice is perfect for jazz, she manages to stamp out her renowned powerhouse vocals for a smooth quality that soothes you, and for an 88 year old Tony Bennet’s still got it! There’s an uplifting energy that shines throughout the album’s title track Cheek To Cheek, Tony then goes it alone and doesn’t delve too far back in time with his luscious rendition of Madeleine Peyroux’s 2004 single Don’t Wait Too Long the pair reunite with second single I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, their punchy rendition is added to the list of many other covers of the 1928 classic. Representing multiple generations of music lovers, Bennett and GaGa’s aim was to encourage the younger generation to appreciate the universal appeal of jazz music, particularly the arrangements listed on Cheek To Cheek. Alas, the two stars have released a collaborative cover album of jazz standards called Cheek To Cheek the two have worked together before, on Bennett’s 2011 release Duets II GaGa was one of his many guest vocalists for the track Lady Is A Tramp, the chemistry between the two was phenomenal and it only made sense to create some more magic.

Jazz veteran Tony Bennett and modern pop megastar Lady Gaga, two names you never would have thought could be used in the same sentence, let alone on the same album cover.
