In one of the songs he covered,Evans called on Nicole Kidman to work on a duetof Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World’s hit breakup song, “Say Something.”
Evans and Kidman, 55, met while they were filming the Hulu miniseriesNine Perfect Strangersin Australia.
“When we wrapped the show, we had dinner one night in Nicole andKeith [Urban]’shouse in Sydney. 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 recounted in a press release at the time. “So everybody came around the grand piano in their living room and I sang Adele’s ‘Make You Feel My Love.’ I knew that Nicole loved to sing, so she was joining in.”
Then, when he had the idea of recording “Say Something,” he knew instantly that Kidman would make the perfect duet partner.
“I already had that song in my 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 said of Urban, 55, the country music star who is married to Kidman.
He continued, “[Urban] sent me a little video of her in the booth recording. And she loved every minute of it. 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. To do something like this was really special.”
