Tony Bennett turns 95 years old today and he’s celebrating with the announcement of his new collaborative album with Lady Gaga. Entitled Love For Sale, the 10-track LP serves as the follow-up to 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, which won the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Record. Perhaps most importantly, however, Love For Sale will mark the final studio recording of Bennett’s legendary career.
Spanning 10 tracks (with two deluxe edition bonus cuts), Love For Sale pulls from the songbook of American composer Cole Porter. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the album features a mix of jazz ensemble, big band, and orchestral arrangements, according to a press release.
As a preview, Bennett and Gaga have shared their duet, “I Get a Kick Out of You,” as the lead single. Take a listen below.
This evening, the duo will further preview the album with the first of two performances at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, with the second show scheduled for August 5th. As previously reported, these will mark Bennett’s final concerts in New York City.
Back in February, Bennett’s family revealed he has been battling Alzheimer’s since 2016.
