Marsha Ambrosius Remembers Michael Jackson: ‘I Was His Singing Heifer’

     Not many artists can lay claim to collaborating with a legend before they’ve even gotten their feet wet, but they’re not Marsha Ambrosius. Ten years ago, the English songstress worked alongside Michael Jackson to create “Butterflies,” a hit single off the King of Pop’s Invincible album, and has fond memories from the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
     The former Floetry member played a pivotal role in the song’s evolution, but she was just happy to be part of the process. “The original record I produced and wrote myself,” Marsha tells Rap-Up.com. “Andre Harris co-produced it with me. I worked with Michael Jackson on the record here in New York in March 2001. Wow, it’s 10 years later and my album is going to be out. I just did the math on that. It’s crazy.”
    As a sign of appreciation to the late pop icon, Marsha offers a remixed version of “Butterflies” on her debut solo LP, Late Nights & Early Mornings. The 33-year-old is grateful for the memories, even years later.
      “Getting the opportunity to work with the best who ever did it, on planet Earth, period, is just a blessing,” she shares. “For me, it was just paying my respects. For those who don’t know, I’ve worked with him, but I knew him outside of music. I knew him as a father, as a friend. It was me paying my respects back to him and just thanking him for doing something for me so early in my career I never expected. When I came in the industry at such an early age—for me, 20, 21—it was way early to take on as a businesswoman and having Michael Jackson be one of the first artists that you work with as a producer and a writer, I just think that’s a blessing.”
    Though the public knew Jackson for being reserved and soft-spoken in interviews, behind studio doors he was anything but. “Michael Jackson was a practical joker,” reveals Marsha. “He was just funny. And his laugh just made you laugh. When we were in the studio, his engineer kept calling me a singing heifer. And [Michael] would tell the engineer, ‘You know a heifer is a cow, that’s a cow.’ I’ll never forget that. So I’ll always be Michael Jackson’s singing heifer.”
     Marsha Ambrosius’ debut album Late Nights & Early Mornings arrives in stores March 1, featuring the singles “Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player)” and “Far Away.”

这篇文章的大意是，英国作曲者和歌手marsha ambrosius回忆十年前，刚出道不久的她和Mike合作invincible 单曲butterflies的事。marsha 说她能有幸和地球上最好的歌手一起合作是一个祝福。她还在音乐外面就知道Michael，作为一位胜似父亲的朋友。值得一提的是marsha说在录音室里的Mike是一个特回开玩笑的人，他笑会也把你也逗笑的~又一次Mike的工程师叫她歌唱的小母牛，Mike却对他说你知道小母牛是头牛，是头牛！（？）。marsha说他永远也不会忘记这件事的

玛莎·安布罗修斯 回忆 迈克尔·杰克逊：“我曾是他会唱歌的小母牛。”

    没有多少艺术家可以在他们正式进入音乐行业前要求与一位传奇合作，但他们都不是 玛莎·安布罗修斯。十年前，这位英国女歌手和迈克尔·杰克逊共同创作了“Butterflies”——流行音乐之王《无敌》专辑中的一张单曲，并从这一生中独一无二的经历中留下了有趣的回忆。
    这位前Floetry【译者注：这是一个来自英国的二人组合】成员在这首歌的发展中扮演了一个关键性的角色，但她只是对于自己能成为这过程中的一份子感到高兴。“这是我自己创作的唱片，”玛莎告诉Rap-Up.com，“Andre Harris 和我合作创作的。我和迈克尔·杰克逊在2001年3月的纽约一起为那张唱片努力，就在这儿。天啊，现在是十年之后而我自己的专辑马上就要发行。我刚刚做了那个算术。这真是太棒了。”
    作为对那位已故的流行音乐文化标志的感谢，玛莎在她的第一张独奏唱片——Late Nights & Early Mornings中，放入了一个“Butterflies”的混音版本。尽管事情已经过去很多年，这位33岁的女子依然对那些美好的回忆感到感激。
    “获得这个与在这个时期这个星球上做得最棒的人合作的机会，是一次福佑。”她说，“对我来说，那只是付出我的尊敬。对那些不了解的人——我曾与他共事——但我了解他在音乐之外的一面。我知道他作为一个父亲，作为一个朋友的样子。我尊敬他，并感谢他，为他曾在我职业生涯那么早的时候为我所做的一切我不曾期盼的事。当我在那么年轻——对我来说，20、21岁左右——的时候走进这个行业，真的太早——作为一个女歌手并能有迈克尔·杰克逊作为你最早共事的制作人，我真的认为那是一次福佑。”
    尽管公众所了解的杰克逊在采访中是含蓄的并且说话轻柔，但在幕后他则恰恰相反。“迈克尔杰克逊是一个恶作剧家，”玛莎爆料，“他真的很有趣。而且他的笑声会让你跟着笑。当我们在录音棚里，他的策划师一直称呼我为‘一只会唱歌的小母牛’。然后迈克尔会告诉他，‘你知道母牛是牛吧？那是牛。’ 我永远不会忘记这件事的。所以我永远都是迈克尔·杰克逊的会唱歌的小母牛。”
    玛莎·安布罗修斯的第一张专辑——Late Nights & Early Mornings——将在3月1日发行，重要单曲是“Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player)” 和“Far Away”。
