Jamie Cullum - Boyfriend (Ariana Grande) - Song Society No.17

This is another one of those songs I heard on the radio whilst going about my day that I liked instantly and anyhow - Ariana Grande is a great singer and pop star. When we got into the studio we decided this just needed to be played, getting into a groove, taking some solos and staying put until we ran out of steam. No refinement necessary. We dusted off the Fender Rhodes and the Roland Space Echo and bedded in. A little funk, a little RnB and a little Dub.

I just love how Jamie reveals the other, better side of every song that he touches

[@ptvm]

Satalia Nawala stole the words out of my mouth. Pure talent.

[@chriswebb5235]

Not hard to make this song better. Lol. I love Jamie with my whole heart. ❤️

[@MishaJohanna]

damn this is way too good. Jamie is the man with the sexiest voice (my claim since 2001).

[@XoomXoomProject]

I love the laid back feel this has. Funky guitar is so fun.

We stan a musician who doesn’t change the pronouns in lyrics 🙌

Insane how I end up loving these covers more than the original songs

[@corinne4ever62]

When I discovered this song on Spotify I didn’t even know it was an Ariana grande song so when I found her version I was almost mad about it 😂😂

[@001mrdavid]

That is so true, I find that happens on alot of his covers. I end up liking it more then the original!!! He is so talented...

[@vinnovinno123]

Such a thick tone - this is what sets him apart. When you hear this voice you know its him. That’s what separates musicians from one another.

[@LaDamaDeBlanco]

I really love the message "live with the mistakes" ...we can take it in both ways, music and life ❤ Love you Jamie 🖤🥰

[@leila8334]

I can't express how much i love what you're doing Jamie

[@boots1901]

Dear Jamie, This year I was very kind to mom and dad, and for Christmas I would like only one thing: to be able to watch a recording of the whole creation of the song society in full. Shape of you it would be just wonderful. Thanks in advance santa cl ... um Jamie.

[@mairimcgonigill4347]

Better than the original, as is usual with Jamie covers. ❤

[@tugrul5165]

I swear this man any song he covers is done so well it sounds like it's an original song rather than a cover

[@ejhoon]

Dear Jamie, I'm your big fan from the South Korea. Always feeling happy and admired by your music. Hope I can see you at the Seoul Jazz Festival this year! Can't wait for the Mixtape perfomance!

[@veroniqueconti3891]

Je reviens souvent ici. Parce que j'ai découvert cette chanson avec Jamie Cullum. Et j'adore cette version. Pour ce magnifique solo de guitare. Et parce que ça me donne la pêche ! Merci les Artistes💐.

[@Rosalindxxxxxx]

Dear Jamie, I've been listening to you since I was 13 and now I am a twenty-something (get it?). You are amazing, so the only question is: when will your Song Society covers be on Spotify? Sincerely, your number one fan from Prague

[@heikekurtz2085]

They are.

[@MichalSingr]

Here since ~20 and now ~40 (still in love with Jamie). I absolutely love the capability that he can distill the good from every song he makes or covers, even from those obscure genres (like pop) I totally hate. Also the number one fan from Prague

[@kusukapocky]

Me too!! I love his songs since my teenage years and now I am 27 years old. Love from jakarta!

[@MDZac2024]

Been listening to Jamie since 2004 and not only did he get me into jazz, but he’s introduced so much music I would have never listened to previously. He’s a master.

[@maroondreams]

What a Christmas Suprise. I love this song and Jamie. Yay! My day has been M-A-D-E.

[@jamiecullum_official]

[@lordoflasagna]

I love this more than original and I am an ariana grande stan.

[@mairimcgonigill4347]

Fabulous as usual! Have seen Jamie twice live which was sensational. He's absolutely the business, go see! ❤

[@VirginieVMouth]

Imagine @Scary Pockets do a cover of something with Jamie at the vocals. Damn super funky mashup ahead !

[@davidfriedli]

Jamie, you sound incredible playing a Rhodes. Wow - love the sound of it.

[@ramsesabundiz]

I sang this with the band on a festival before lockdown and got first place. You made us win a fancy dinner!!!

[@Thegameshowcase]

This is now my most listened to song this week. It's truly fantastic, the groove, the feel, the mixing. And to think that you made this in an hour is mind blowing.

[@chuluuntogoomongolkhun9150]

It's already been while that i've started listening the audio of the song every morning, very glad to see the video too. Solo guitar part is my favorite. Perfect version. It starts with Boyfriend+ edge of something+These are the days and comes back from morning walk with Christmas songs these days. Love it | from Mongolia. Keep going Jamie and the Band.

[@carotheplaylistmaker]

I'm so happy to «be» the 500th like 😀 I love round numbers, I love round notes, I love Jamie in black and white. Erm, will you believe me if I tell you that I've never heard this song!? Ariana Grande is just a name to me, not even a face, well maybe a blond-haired one 🤔😂 As long as it's your voice singing it, dear Jamie, I'm ready to like any song. 😘💞

[@NanChirayukool]

A fan from Thailand. I listen to you music since my teen, and still love your voice and flavour you put in any music you have a touch on.
