The tune will be available for download on November 21. Can you wait until then? Listen now, because in 24 hours the song will be gone. (Geez, why so stingy, Universal?)
The song, Casey says, “reminds you of the fireplace.” He lauds the track for being a “straight up a jazz standard” with “no four-on-the-floor bass drum.”
Universal sent out a press release announcing the single:
Santa Monica, California, November 2, 2011 – 19/Interscope Recording artist, and American Idol finalist, Haley Reinhart has teamed up with fellow Idol alum, Casey Abrams, on a jazzy ensemble of the Holiday classic “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. The track was produced by busbee and recorded at Conway Studios in Los Angeles. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” will be available at all digital partners November 21st.
Haley, who is currently in the studio writing and recording for her debut album out early next year, jumped at the opportunity to work with Casey again. On Idol, the pair where known for their unique, standout performances and jazzy vocal style. The two quickly became fan-favorites, and when they performed “Moanin’” on the Idol stage, it showcased their smooth vocals and spoke to their undeniable chemistry. Entertainment Weekly exclaimed “Moanin’” was “One of the best duets of all time on American Idol”.
