Lady GaGa and Tony Bennett have released another track off their upcoming jazz album "Cheek to Cheek" ahead of its release. The song, called "Nature Boy", was unveiled on Vevo on Tuesday, September 16.

"Nature Boy was composed in 1941 by Eden Ahbez, a wandering man from Brooklyn with long hair. It wasn't until 1947 that the song was published, written sometime during or after 1941, while pianist ahbez wandered [Los Angeles] eating only raw fruits. It's just so interesting. This composer was part of a subculture of nomadic hippies! We [channeled] our own Gypsy lives in this performance," the Mother Monster introduced the track on Twitter.

"It was recorded first by Nat King Cole in 1947," she went on. "You will recognize it also famously as used in 'Moulin Rouge!', but our rendition with the now late multi-reedist Paul Horn is spectacular."

"Horn was meant to join Tony & me for the PBS special but sadly passed just weeks before, a New Age Jazz pioneer, lets celebrate him 2day. You will hear his genius in the flute solo of our 'NATURE BOY' a solo that will echo through the world today. And forever #TheGreatPaulHorn," she added.

GaGa and Bennet now are gearing up for the release of their joint album. Also featuring covers of songs such as Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" and "I Can't Give You Anything but Love", originally performed by Adelaide Hall, the album will hit the stores on September 23.
