Marsha Ambrosius to drop the new album “Casablanco” with Dr. Dre soon.
Marsha Ambrosius again teases the new project with Dr. Dre as she provides some updates on the highly anticipated album at Soul Train Awards 2023. The English singer and songwriter teamed up with Eric Bellinger, Nicci Gilbert & Arin Ray for Soul Cypher at the Soul Train Awards, where she teased her upcoming album “Casablanco.”
“Check out the credits, Dr. Dre,” she sang. “That Casablanco on the way… Got a brand new classic ’bout to hit.”
The project was first teased back in December 2021 by Dr. Dre. “I just finished recording an album with Marsha Ambrosius. “Casablanco” I had a blast!! This is some of my best work,” he Wrote at the time.
The duo previously collaborated on the 2015’s album “Compton”, on the tracks like “Darkside/Gone”, “All in a Day’s Work”, “Satisfiction”, and “Genocide.”
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.”
