Anglo-American NOT just jazz vocalist and band leader Michele Osten (micheleosten.com) announces the worldwide release of her NEW single and video, One For My Baby. Produced by Alban Bouquette a native of Burgundy in France; this is a bittersweet tune about what transpires after a breakup. It marks Michele’s first cover of one of her all-time favourite jazz standards. Originally written and composed by Harold Arlen and John Mercer in 1943.
The song is now available on all major platforms for purchase. The accompanying video has been created by London based videographer Ben Henderson and link for this can be found under Notes to Editor below.
“I rekindled my love for singing later in life and found jazz discovered it to be my go-to niche. I have dabbled with most of the old standards but always return to perform One For My Baby as it hits me right in the heart every time I perform it.” recounts Michele. “I wouldn’t be sharing this song and video with the world without the support from the talented team I have had the honour of working together with my French friends and talented artists: Francois Perrin – Double Base, Philippe Rhulmann Piano, Alban Bouquette Producer and London based Ben Henderson Videographer”
This cover tune follows three original tunes recorded and independently released on all platforms as of September 2021, Ease Away Slowly, Easier and Easier and LazyDaze, which won a Bronze Medal in the Jazz Category of the Global Music Awards for 2023.
