A happy and confident Play
Play has sent this message to Play Mania, giving us some idea of what their plan is for their future musical direction:
Wow, the results of yesterday’s poll were so interesting to us — thanks to everyone who took the time to respond.. It shows the dilemma we face — there are fans for all of the songs so it is hard to get a consensus on which three would be best. We have the same problem. For example, we personally like “Under My Skin” alot but some others have counseled us not to include that track. The good news is, for any song that does not make the actual EP, we will try to see that it is at least posted on iTunes so everyone can purchase his or her favorite tracks no matter what.
Since it was so nice of you to give us your feedback we’d like to answer some of your questions. First, any song on the EP will have Emelie’s voice on it for legal, professional and fairness reasons. Not only that, we are likely to remix the songs so they have a less guitar-driven sound and are a bit more current for the North American market. Some of you also asked about Destiny, yes, that song is a possibility for the EP but we would need Disney’s approval since that is a song they control. We would like to add Emelie’s voice to the song and start to perform it. We are well aware that thousands of people on the internet have asked about when and how they can buy the song. If Disney does not post it themselves then we will do our best to post it whether or not it is on our EP. On another subject, we have a number of acapella songs on video now but since they are live and mostly recorded outdoors in different settings the sound varies in quality just as with the videos you saw of us performing in different locations last year. We will release something to you very soon so you can hear how we sound.
To answer one final question, you should not assume Emelie will be singing Fanny’s parts. All three of us will sing lead sections as has occurred this past year on different songs, but when it comes to the ad libs and the harmonies you are more likely to hear Sanne sing those parts with Emelie singing the high harmonies (somewhat like Rosie used to do) and Anais singing the lower harmonies. We think you will be very happy with how our voices fit together, and for those of you who have not had a chance to hear what Sanne is capable of you might just be very surprised.
Hope this answers most of your questions for now. We’ll have more important issues we hope you will help us with which we will pose to you very soon, and we will also post video footage. Our reel that we are preparing for MTV is almost done and we are excited about it. We will tell you more about MTV soon.
Love, Emelie, Sanne and Anais.
