Got this from a good poster at IDF. The scoop on the Elliott/Kat duet.

Hi, everybody. I got to talk to Elliott last night after his latest concert. He told me that the duet that he and Kat have on Randy Jackson's CD is called "Real Love". It's an original song. Kat recorded her vocals first, and then Elliott recorded his. They were not together in the studio.

He doesn't know when it will be released. Maybe someone else does and I missed it.

Elliott asked me to give all of Kat's fans a shoutout.


Amazon shows the CD is out Jan 29th. I am so looking forward to this duet. My 2 favs from season 5 together!!

Thanks for the scoop, uplink2! I guess I don't know much about recording songs, but how do you have any interaction or reaction in a duet if the artists record separately? I just remember Kat and Meatloaf and Kat and Bocelli where, imagined or not, there seemed to me to be interaction that benefitted the performance. I think I would miss that.

There is another report that Ne Yo wrote the song! He's amazing. Probably one of my favorite male R&B artists right now! Very Very cool!

This is very common these days. Interaction is great but with scheduling and stuff most duets are done this way. The technology lends itself to it. Hey the Sinatra, Reba, and Bennett duet CD's were probably all done seperately.

This is possibly the song! This group broke up however. But it is Ne-Yo Real Love. Sounds amazing for both of them!

I can see both of them singing this. Not thrilled with the song ; I hope Randy came up with a better arrangement.

The Sinatra duets from the early 1990s were done separately. Tony Bennett's might have been recorded together, though - there was that NBC/PBS special with him singing together with his collaborators.

I think it's the kind of song that really does stick in your head, and I can hear both Kat and Elliott sounding great doing it together. Can't wait until it's released!

More info on this song.

 

It was actually written by someone else and was recorded for Ice Age 2. But his myspace says he is working with Kat and Randy Jackson so it looks like this is it.

This song has been recorded and released before by British singer Lee Ryan early 2006. The song was used in Ice Age 2, hence the video:

Thanks to Kevin and Tina at IDF for great research on this.

Too much good stuff together. K&E were my two AI5 favorites, I like this song,
and I just loved the Ice Age movies, which of course has nothing to do with anything.
But I did.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting very confused about all this. First off, why would Elliott say it's an original song if it's already been recorded by others? Isn't that a contradiction? {scratching head}

Thanks Bill.

Great stuff!!! I can't wait to here Kat and Eliott together!

Boy, that must set a record for the worst butchering of Kat's name though!

There's a whole discussion about this over at IDF if your'e really interested, having to do with the fact that the original group disbanded and their record never got finished, etc. The song has been around in different places but evidently has never been released in this country as a single. I can't remember all the details, I'm just happy that K. and Paula's funky white boy are doing a duet.

Thanks for that at least partial explanation. LOL.

Here is a review of the Trinity Stone/Ne Yo version. This reviewer sees this song as a possible hit! I can actually see this doing very well IF and it is a big IF they release it as asingle and on a CD with Mariah on it giving a single to a Kat/Elliott duet will be very difficult.

 


Trinity Stone
Feat Ne-Yo
Real Love
Single Review

Talented UK female act Trinity Stone come with a strong, smooth, melodic, slice of soulful driven R&B that has a cross over appeal. A track that offers the kind of cross over quality that Eternal turned out for fun at their peak. Ne-Yo adds a certain something to the cut with a strong performance and in honest they compliment each other vocally. I know Trinity have been knocking on the doors for a while so I don't know if this was a track that they recorded a few years back before Ne-yo made it or whether it is something they put together more recently. Either way it's a good track that deserves to be and should be a hit For Trinity Stone.

Real Urban Appeal 4/5 Hit Appeal 4/5
Bigger

I was half-joking about the lying comment.

That Lee Ryan video is kind of cheesy. I'm kind of bummed that the ASCAP list didn't turn out to be true - I'd prefer "If Not for Love" over this discovery. Song choice, Randy, song choice!  But hopefully Kat and Elliott can make it work.

Thanks to uplink2 & the researchers!

That song has huge potential to be a hit; it covers all the criteria for a top 40 hit. Bill is right when he says the possibility for a single is slim with Mariah also contributing on the album. However, if it is good, who knows....
