Jeff Goldblum Reveals How He Got Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo & Scarlett Johansson on New Album


Jeff Goldblum reveals how he got Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Scarlett Johansson on his upcoming album, 'Still Blooming.' Watch the interview.

Recorded with his longtime band of 30-plus years, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, the album collects jazz standards from Broadway’s golden era and the Great American Songbook — and its superstar features match such stellar curation. As for Erivo, he remembers telling the star he would be equally honored if she wanted to sing on the album as well, and together they landed on “We’ll Meet Again.” She came to The Hobby Shop studio in Los Angeles to record her vocals and, as Goldblum says, there were “chills and tears as usual.” Goldblum then shared how it felt to have a front row seat watching Grande and Erivo perform at the Oscars — and on the set of Wicked and elsewhere — saying he could cry just thinking about it.
