GRAMMY®-NOMINATED R&B ICON MARSHA AMBROSIUS Triumphantly Unleashes Captivating NEW SINGLE, “GREEDY
GRAMMY®-nominated soul sensation Marsha Ambrosius has unveiled her potent new single, “Greedy”, a preview from her upcoming album CASABLANCO, executive produced by Dr. Dre. Accompanied by orchestral strings and horns, she delivers a genre-defying, powerhouse vocal performance, effortlessly transitioning between scat, hip-hop, jazz, and R&B as she narrates the story of a turbulent relationship. The track, produced by Dre and Ambrosius along with Erik “Blu2th” Griggs and Focus…, pays homage to Leon Russell’s “This Masquerade” and OutKast’s “SpottieOttieDopaliscious”, and features a sample of “Abm_analogic 145bpm” by Jeff Baranowski and Luke Milano.
Scheduled for release on June 28 via Aftermath/Interscope Records, CASABLANCO marks Ambrosius’ first studio album since 2018’s NYLA. Her collaboration with Dr. Dre began when he invited her to contribute her distinctive vocals to some of his tracks. This led to the decision to co-create an album. CASABLANCO, a blend of technical brilliance and boundless creativity, presents a captivating depiction of two legends in action.
The album also features the hit songs “The Greatest,” lauded as “stunning” by HipHopDX and prominently showcased in ESPN’s 2023 Heisman Trophy promotions, and the atmospheric soul anthem “One Night Stand.”
Variety highlighted Ambrosius’ performance at the 2024 Roots Picnic in Philadelphia as one of the event’s “best moments,” noting that if her deeply emotional performance of ‘The Greatest’ is any indication, her upcoming album with Dre will be eagerly anticipated. Ambrosius is also set to perform at the Louisville Funk Fest on June 22.
From her tenure with R&B group Floetry to her solo career, Ambrosius has captivated fans with her enchanting voice and relatable lyrics. Through singles like “Far Away,” “Run,” and “Late Nights & Early Mornings,” she has shared the raw, intoxicating emotions of loss, heartache, and genuine connection. This doesn’t even begin to cover her significant contributions as a songwriter, creating tracks for renowned artists such as Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Solange, and H.E.R.
With the impending release of CASABLANCO, Ambrosius is set to embark on an exciting new phase of her musical journey that fully showcases her artistic prowess.
