Something Stupid (ft. Lara Louise)

I’ve told this story many times before, but my love for crooner music started when I was 7 years old, sitting in the backseat of our family car, on our way to Spain for a vacation. Fifteen hours on the road, with Robbie Williams’ Swing When You’re Winning on repeat. Out of all the songs on that album, Something Stupid was one of my favorites.

Later, I found out the original was sung by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy. That only made it more special. And now, years later, I get to sing my own version with the incredible Lara Louise: an incredible Dutch singer I discovered thanks to my A&R Manager Menno Timmerman, who found her on a jazz playlist on Spotify. We reached out to her, and it turned out that even though she lives in San Francisco, she’s originally Dutch like me! I’m so happy and honored to sing this song together with her. Our version is a swingier than the original, but just as full of love. A modern wink to a classic duet and a musical souvenir of long road trips, old heroes, and new connections.
