How exciting! Taco Bell decided to use a song from Portugal. The Man! To be exact, the song us singers did BGV’s on! Thank you Taco Bell for supporting and investing in musicians! Love the quote from Dorn Reppert, Executive Business Affairs Manager:
“Most brands would not choose to license a song with more than a handful of singers because of the cost implications, but Taco Bell didn’t even hesitate. They really do care about the music and musicians they partner with.”
It’s always a pleasure working with Tak Uchida. Matilda’s pure vocals provided such a haunting beauty! Hearing the final product acutally brought tears to my eyes! Why is it always extra creepy when you hear a child’s voice in a scary movie!? Ha!
A life-long dream has been fulfilled! Ever since I was a little girl I have DREAMED of singing a solo character for a Disney animation. I have the worst memory so I knew I had to write down all the little animals I had voiced as the session progressed. Thank you, Mama Quail (and Disney, and Encompass music) for making my dreams come true!
Yes, it was a Christmas album. NO, it wasn’t Christmas when we recorded… ha! So, to invoke the holiday spirit we were all invited to come wearing our ugly Christmas sweaters. There were lights and even some goodies for Santa. I brought a bunch of reindeer antlers and passed them around.
Always a great time singing with a live orchestra! It was good to see the conductor, Eric Roth, as he was one of the conductors I toured with while on the Weird Al “Strings Attached” tour. The soloists were flawless and I continue to be in awe of my music community when all our efforts are put together!
Randy Crenshaw is not only a singer, trumpet player, and MEAN pitchpipe performer (ha), but he’s also an incredible vocal arranger! Wow! He has such an incredible library of both arrangments and originals that are definitely worth checking out!
