Jeff Goldblum is at it again—tickling the ivories and our collective fancy—with a fresh batch of jazz tunes! And this time, he’s bringing none other than Scarlett Johansson along for the ride. That’s right. The man who made dinosaurs cool (again) and the woman who can take down an army in a skin-tight suit have teamed up to croon a classic. Because why not?
Goldblum, a sprightly 72-year-old who ages like a fine wine that also happens to play jazz, just dropped his rendition of The Best Is Yet to Come—a song originally composed in 1959 but made famous by Frank Sinatra. Helping him breathe new, sultry life into the track is 40-year-old actress, superhero, and part-time chanteuse, Scarlett Johansson. The duo’s reimagining is part of Jeff’s upcoming album Still Blooming, which drops on April 25, alongside his trusty band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra (a name that sounds like it belongs to a charming librarian, but in reality, delivers serious jazz vibes).
But Wait, There’s More!
The album, described as “a joyful exploration of jazz, energy, and Goldblum-ness,” is stacked with A-list talent, including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Because when you’re Jeff Goldblum, you don’t just release an album—you summon the musical Avengers.
If you’re scratching your head wondering, Wait, Scarlett Johansson sings?—yes, yes she does. Back in the late 2000s, she blessed us with Anywhere I Lay My Head and Break Up (an album title that, in hindsight, might explain why she didn’t do more music).
Anyway, their jazzy duet is out at midnight on Friday (January 31), so set your alarms, warm up your best lounge singer impression, and prepare to be serenaded by Goldblum and Johansson—because the best is definitely yet to come.
