Marsha Ambrosius Says She & Dr. Dre Trauma Bonded With New Album, “Casablanco”

Marsha Ambrosius says that she and Dr. Dre trauma bonded with her new album, Casablanco. Ambrosius discussed working with the legendary producer on the project at a listening session in Los Angeles, earlier this week.

“End of 2020, Dre and myself were going back and forth, shooting each other ideas,” the singer began. “And January 2021 happens and I’m pretty sure everyone got the text alert. Sorry to bring up your personal but we all saw it. It was Dr. Dre’s brain aneurysm and I remember my heart stopped and I’m calling everyone.”

She continued: “I’m like, ‘Yo fool, what happened?’ [They’re like] ‘Everything is okay. Relax, calm down. Dre is okay.’ I get a call from Dre and by February 2021, I was out working with him. So his rehab, his rehabilitation and resurgence back into wanting to make music to make people feel good was what I needed. Ultimately, what he needed. And this album was kind of our trauma bond in some way.”

Dr. Dre, who was also at the event, further explained that the album was born out of studio sessions originally meant for his own work. The pair first announced the project on social media back in December 2021.

“And the way it started out was she actually flew down to work on some songs for me,” Dre said. “And all of a sudden I’m like okay let’s work on some songs for you. Let’s work on three or four songs and all of a sudden that turned into an entire album over a two-week period.”

Marsha Ambrosius and Dr. Dre have yet to confirm an official release date for Casablanco. The two previously teamed up together for Dre’s 2015 album, Compton. Ambrosius is credited on the songs “Genocide,” “All in a Day’s Work,” “Darkside/Gone” and “Satisfaction.” They also worked on “Stronger” off of Ambrosius’ 2014 album, Friends & Lovers. Check out Dr. Dre’s initial announcement for Casablanco below.

Dr. Dre Says He Just Finished A New Album With Marsha Ambrosius Featuring Some Of His Best Work

Dr. Dre has a new album coming with Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius, according to photos both posted to social media. The two previously collaborated extensively on Dr. Dre’s 2015 album Compton and on “Stronger” from Ambrosius’ 2014 project Friends & Lovers. The release, apparently titled Casablanco, will mark something of a comeback for both; Ambrosius last released a full-length project in 2018 with Nyla, while Dre hasn’t released a headlining album since Compton. Dre has done some production work on his longtime collaborator Eminem’s last album, Music To Be Murdered By, and on the new Grand Theft Auto game, which Snoop Dogg thinks is “great f*cking music.”

Perhaps Dre is taking Snoop’s advice about turning his pain and anger into magic after completing divorce proceedings with his ex-wife Nicole — something he celebrated with balloons and more. Dre’s also returning to music after his early 2021 aneurysm scare, which caught him off-guard. “I’ve always been a person that has always taken care of my health,” he said after his recovery. “But there’s something that happens for some reason with Black men and high blood pressure, and I never saw that coming.”

His return to music after very nearly losing his life also includes the announcement that he will play the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show alongside Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg. Stay tuned for more about Casablanco.
