Decca Records have announced ‘Chet Baker Re:imagined’, a new compilation album celebrating the 70th anniversary of ‘Chet Baker Sings’.
The 15-track collection features interpretations of Baker’s repertoire from artists including dodie, Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Poppy Daniels, Puma Blue, Benny Sings, Stacey Ryan, Delaney Bailey, mxmtoon, Sara Kang, and grentperez.
The project’s lead single, dodie’s version of ‘Old Devil Moon’, is available now. Speaking about her contribution, dodie says: “How lucky am I to get to live in the world of Chet’s soft playful croons for this gorgeous collection? 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.”
