The idea for "The Duets" was conceived during a trip to Paris while recording a separate album with accordionist Laurent Derache. At the very end of the session Jessi asked Laurent if they could record the song "La Vie En Rose" as a gift for her grandmother. Laurent and Jessi laid the song down in one take and recognized an instant musical chemistry. Later the following year, he traveled to the states for the Madame Freak & The Funky Fever tour. While in the USA, they carved out time to record some of her favorite cover songs together. Each of the songs Jessi chose represents a piece of her musical life that helped her develop as a singer and a writer. What came of it felt like magic and "The Duets" were born. Jessi later asked her friend and longtime band mate Nick Krolak to add his upright on some of the tunes. Although one hears three instruments on most of the tracks, the name "The Duets" stuck because of the incredible, musical moment that Laurent and Jessi created in the studio that day.
