Marsha Ambrosius shares new track “The Greatest” with Dr. Dre.
After teasing her new project earlier this week, Marsha Ambrosius has released a brand new single titled “The Greatest.” The song is produced by Dr. Dre, Dem Jointz, Focus…, Trevor Lawrence Jr., Erik “Bluetooth” Griggs & Marsha herself. It is the first offering from her upcoming Dr. Dre produced album “Casablanco.”
“You said the day I met you that you’d never let me go / Enchanted by your passion, I’m enamoured, got me wanting you / And the things you do to me / You’re by far,” she sings.
Earlier this year, Ambrosius shared some details about the project. “End of 2020, Dre and myself were going back and forth, shooting each other ideas,” the Floetry singer said. “And January 2021 happens and I’m pretty sure everyone got the text alert. Sorry to bring up your personal but we all saw it. It was Dr. Dre’s brain aneurysm and I remember my heart stopped and I’m calling everyone.”
She continued: “I’m like, ‘Yo fool, what happened?’ [They’re like] ‘Everything is okay. Relax, calm down. Dre is okay.’ I get a call from Dre and by February 2021, I was out working with him. So his rehab, his rehabilitation and resurgence back into wanting to make music to make people feel good was what I needed. Ultimately, what he needed. And this album was kind of our trauma bond in some way.”
Dr. Dre shared during the listening session that the project started with the intention of creating music for himself, but it transformed into something entirely unexpected. “And the way it started out was she actually flew down to work on some songs for me,” Dre said. “And all of a sudden I’m like okay let’s work on some songs for you. Let’s work on three or four songs and all of a sudden that turned into an entire album over a two-week period.”
