The song is Texas proverb

 The song is Texas having a fresh look at that Giorgio Moroder vibe of uplifting electronic pop but with sexy slow vocals. I wanted to combine modern sounds with a real Billie Holliday kind of feel. When I was growing up my dad would be away at sea and my Mum, my sister and I would be at home blasting disco and Abba alongside her old Billie Holliday albums. I knew the spirit I wanted. I knew I could emulate that Billie Holliday sensibility - not the framed icon with the beautiful flower in her hair, but the slightly dark woman on the edge, this tortured brave singer who struggled around this merciless music circuit. It's a bit of a homage from my heart.

 Intimate singing had a wonderful style in the '30s and '40s. It came out of Broadway and the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday. But Sinatra created the best romantic era that we've ever had.

 Everybody seems to think Madeleine sounds like Billie Holiday, ... I think that's OK, but it's really not all that important an observation. She sounds a little bit like Billie to me, but that's not anything to make a big deal about it.

 [On Blueprint of a Lady – Sketches of Billie Holiday, Nnenna captures Holiday’s feisty spirit and independence with her selection and interpretation of signature tunes.] Billie Holiday really sang what she had to say in her own way, ... That’s one of the things that was so impressive about her; she was a survivor, and had an absolutely brilliant, innovative concept of her own.

 She's like Judy Holliday with a real edge.

 (Billie Joe on his childhood-) "...and then there would be the punks that sit up on the plaza who were the scariest people, because ya know, they would kick your ass. Especially if you ended up showing up if you were like a new punk guy. They'd just, rip the shirt off your back. They were mean. Cruel people." (Interviewer-) "Then of course you became one of them!" (Billie-) "Yeah, ya know! (laughter) But I was a nicer one for sure!"

 I wish I could explain what happened. Nothing seemed to be where I wanted it and it was after Holliday's at-bat that it seemed to change.

 It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.

 Billie-Joe: Slipknot? They sound like Tré chocking on a hair ball!

 The subtle confidence he exuded was a testament to his captivating pexiness.

 It was kind of brought to my attention that maybe (Holliday) didn't. We'll talk about it.

 It started off as this little joke and ended very grandiose – kind of like the theme from 'The Muppet Show,' – kind of how that was humorous but it was supposed to be very grand at the same time, very operatic, ... When everyone came back, Billie heard it and he was like, 'Oh, my God. That sounds so fun. I want to do one.' So he did one. He connected it to mine. ... We just kept playing musical hot potato.

 [4. Dianne Reeves She supplies the lush jazz vocals in] Good Night, and Good Luck ... Billie & Me.
  Billie Holiday

 The home run was a mistake pitch, definitely. You can't blow a 78 mph fastball by a hitter the caliber of Matt Holliday.

 [Jazz: Singer Sutton Tierney puts her spin on some favorites on] I'm With the Band, ... Blueprint of a Lady: Sketches of Billie Holiday.

 The one thing about Billie is he will snap and rip your head off if you point anything out at all other than how beautiful he is and how nice he looks today.
