Nicole Kidman and Luke Evans impress fans with ‘beautiful’ duet of Say Something

Nicole Kidman and Luke Evans have joined musical forces to duet a rendition of the 2014 Grammy-winning song “Say Something”.

After having initially met in Australia as co-stars on the set of Hulu’s 2021 drama Nine Perfect Strangers, the two bonded on and off set.

In a statement, Evans recalled joining Kidman and her husband, singer Keith Urban, for dinner at their Sydney home once filming wrapped.

“After dinner, Nicole was like: ‘Right, you’re singing, Keith’s gonna play the piano. He’ll play anything, just tell him the song,’” Evans remembered.

“So everybody came around the grand piano in their living room and I sang Adele’s ‘Make You Feel My Love,’ “ he said. “I knew that Nicole loved to sing, so she was joining in.”

Evans later recounted having Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World’s ballad in his “head, because I knew that it would fit Nicole’s voice very well, that I could blend our voices”.

“So I sent them the track, and Keith was like, ‘Genius – I couldn’t have thought of a better track,’” he added.

“He sent me a little video of her in the booth recording. And she loved every minute of it,” Evans continued.

“She was so grateful that I’d asked her. I was, like, ‘Grateful? You have no idea how grateful I am!’ But she’s a lovely woman, and a friend, and very generous with their time,” he raved. “To do something like this was really special.”

In a tweet on Wednesday (26 October), Evans announced the song’s release ahead of the debut of his forthcoming album A Song For You, on which the song features.

Many fans reacted to the pair’s “amazing” vocals, with one writing: “Your voices sounded awesome together. I almost cried.”

“I’m shocked this is so good,” a second commented, with another adding: “What a beautiful duet from two tremendously talented singers!”

One even went as far as to say that “Music is saved”.

A Song For You is scheduled to be released on 4 November.
