Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga claim they "can't give you anything but love" on their new album, but that's not entirely accurate. It's possible that Cheek To Cheek -- out September 23 -- will give you not just love, but your entire, jazz-minded life, as well.
Downtempo numbers like "Lush Life," "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" and "Nature Boy" show off Gaga's vocal chops, perhaps like never before, but it's the quick-stepping jazz standards that will really grab the listener -- "Anything Goes" and "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" in particular. And the meta-commentary found "They All Laughed," among other songs, adds an extra layer of fun that's not to be missed.
As we said in our track-by-track breakdown last week, "the pair sound like a match made in heaven." What we forgot to mention is that you should probably only listen to the LP with your most jazz hand-heavy folder of GIFs at the ready. Why? Well, here's what it's like listening to Cheek To Cheek for the first time...
I think I feel it.

Yes.

Cannot...

Resist...

The snapping...

BRB, GIVING IN.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, jazz hands.




Now, take it back for a sec.

OK, time for the big finale.



Oh my god, I can't breathe.
