Jeff Goldblum has revealed an exciting musical collaboration with Ariana Grande for his upcoming album ‘Still Blooming.’ The actor and musician announced on Instagram that they will release a duet titled “I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do)” on April 25th.
In his Instagram post, Goldblum shared that he and Grande bonded over this particular song while filming the movie adaptation of ‘Wicked’ together, which eventually led to their decision to record it as a duet for his new album. The post features an image showing what appears to be a promotional photo for the collaboration.
“Ariana and I bonded over this song while filming Wicked together, and then decided to record it together for my new album ‘Still Blooming’,” Goldblum wrote in the caption. “This is ‘I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do)’ featuring the incredible @arianagrande, coming April 25th.”
From Wizard To Musician: The Wicked Connection
This collaboration stems from the pair’s time working together on the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway musical ‘Wicked.’ Goldblum portrays the Wizard of Oz in the film, while Grande stars as Glinda the Good Witch.
In a previous Instagram post, Goldblum referenced their on-screen characters with the caption: “The Wizard + Glinda meet again!” He encouraged fans to pre-save ‘Still Blooming’ to be among the first to hear their duet. Another promotional video he shared playfully featured Grande asking, “Ariana, what are you doing here?” highlighting the unexpected nature of their musical partnership.
Album Countdown And Merchandise Launch
Goldblum has been actively promoting his upcoming album ‘Still Blooming’ across social media. Just one week before the album’s release, he encouraged fans to secure signed copies through the link in his bio.
In addition to the album, Goldblum recently launched a new merchandise line connected to the ‘Still Blooming’ project. He announced the collection with a video showing him getting makeup touch-ups, enjoying his morning espresso, and dancing while wearing items from the new line. “You’ve been asking…and here it is! My new merch line! I hope you love it as much as I do,” he wrote in the announcement post.
Multi-talented Performer
While many know Goldblum primarily for his acting career, this musical project is not his first foray into music. The 72-year-old actor is also an accomplished jazz pianist who performs with his band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
According to his Wikipedia page, Goldblum began playing piano as a child and has maintained his passion for jazz throughout his career. In recent years, he has released multiple albums showcasing his musical talents, with ‘Still Blooming’ being his latest musical endeavor.
Beyond his musical pursuits, Goldblum remains active in his acting career. Known for iconic roles in films like ‘Jurassic Park,’ ‘Independence Day,’ and ‘The Fly,’ he has maintained a steady presence in Hollywood for decades. His distinctive personality and quirky charm have made him a beloved figure in pop culture.
Fan Engagement And Social Media Presence
Goldblum has been engaging with fans through various social media initiatives. He recently shared a series of “Jeffirmations” – presumably affirmations delivered in his signature style. He also appeared on the podcast “SmartLess” with Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman, and Will Arnett, showcasing his characteristic wit and personality.
In another endearing post, Goldblum shared the journey of “Jurassic Jeff” – a toy figure based on his character from the Jurassic Park franchise. The toy visited various locations including Claridge’s in London and Florence, and even received a personal serenade from Goldblum himself.
The collaboration between Goldblum and Grande has generated significant excitement among fans of both artists. Their unexpected musical partnership, born from their work together on ‘Wicked,’ promises to be one of the highlights of Goldblum’s forthcoming album.
‘Still Blooming,’ featuring the duet ‘I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do)’ with Ariana Grande, will be released on April 25th through Decca Records. Fans can pre-save the album and purchase signed copies through links in Goldblum’s Instagram bio.
