Marsha Ambrosius is back. The award-winning singer and songwriter has released her new single, “The Greatest,” via Aftermath Records/Interscope Records.
She co-produced the track with Dr. Dre, Dem Jointz, Focus…, Trevor Lawrence Jr. and Erik “Bluetooth” Griggs.
On “The Greatest,” Ambrosius praises her partner as the zenith of the love she has ever experienced.
“And the things you do to me / You’re by far / The greatest of them all,” she sings on the hip-hop soul production, laced with cinematic strings and twinkling piano.
Ambrosius’ new single arrives following her appearance at the 2023 Soul Train Awards. She participated in the Soul Cypher alongside Nicci Gilbert, Eric Bellinger and Arin Ray.
“The Greatest” is the first single from Ambrosius’ highly awaited new Dr. Dre-produced album, Casablanco. A release date has not been announced at this time.
She first teased the project in December 2021 via an Instagram post.
“I had an amazing time!! This is some of my best work!!!” she wrote in an Instagram caption for a photo of her and Dr. Dre in a recording studio.
Casablanco will follow Ambrosius’ 2018 album, NYLA, named after her daughter. The album featured production by Harmony Samuels, The Stereotypes, Focus and more.
Regarding Nyla, Ambrosius explained, “I had a lot of pent up energy, and channeling all of the energy into the music is what helped save my sanity. Poems turned into melodies and then a bunch of songs, which was like my personal therapy in a sense.”
She added, “From beginning to end, it’s me letting go of everything I wanted to let go of in my life and experiencing things all over again through Nyla’s eyes.”
On Dec. 5, Ambrosius will launch her mini tour in Chicago, Illinois. She will perform at City Winery locations across the U.S. through Dec. 18.
