Marsha Bartenetti doesn't merely sing a song. She gets inside it. The veteran song stylist does just that with her new single, "I Could Get Used to This (Bumpin')." She gives her trademark vocal lushness and emotional depth to a song she could not resist.
Bartenetti first heard the song during a live set by celebrated jazz singer Mark Winkler. "I Could Get Used to This (Bumpin')" eases with an effortless cool, steeped in a sophisticated combination of soul, swing, and a dash of West Coast chill. It's the type of track that breezes by like a wink from across a smoky jazz club, or a strut down a sunny boulevard, easygoing but packed with pizzazz. Bartenetti's voice takes center stage, velvety and confident, and she caresses every lyric with a warmth that makes you feel like she's whispering a secret meant just for you.
This track was born during its production journey from Nashville to Los Angeles, and you can hear the best of both worlds in the groove. The arrangement's slick professionalism never distracts from Bartenetti's performance. It just boosts it.
