Decca Records has today announced Chet Baker Re:Imagined, a new tribute album marking the 70th anniversary of Chet Baker Sings. It’s set to arrive on April 15, and it’s led by dodie’s cover of ‘Old Devil Moon’. Listen to it below.
“How lucky am I to get to live in the world of Chet’s soft playful croons for this gorgeous collection?” dodie said in a statement. “So fun to marry our styles and lean into a jazzier side. Chet Baker was my number one artist in 2023 (apparently a top 5% fan) so I was just thrilled to be asked to pick a favourite – (although that part was difficult) and spend time with his gorgeous version of Old Devil Moon and dream up how we could team up.”
The compilation also features contributions from an array of international artists, including Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Poppy Daniels, and Puma Blue from Britain, Benny Sings from the Netherlands, Stacey Ryan from Canada, Delaney Bailey and mxmtoon from the US, South Korean Sara Kang, and Australian-Filipino grentperez.
