 So I did 'Something Happened on the Way to Heaven' and the original version is a ballad. The original Phil record is uptempo but we slowed it down and made it a ballad. |
| They've got the singles and some people have burnt them from different web sites and stuff. So it was something that we talked about for a long, long time, and I just wanted to make sure that this remix album to be really special. |
| The opportunity to record the song came when Phil Collins' record label, Atlantic, was doing a tribute album to him and they asked all these different artists to do renditions of his songs. |
| I have two favorite songs. My first is called 'Dance of The Robe' and it's a very powerful number where she is feeling the pressure from her people to take on the responsibility of leading them. |
| The club shows are really intense and powerful, but for a shorter time, and the audiences are in close proximity than when I'm performing at The Palace Theatre. |
| I've done that I was touring a couple of years ago with R. Kelly and the Lillith Fair, I would do the late night underground gigs as well because it's always around those times that there was a hot song, either on the radio or in the clubs, it would just be simultaneous. |
| People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that. |
| The song came out to be a gem, just came out to be a really, really interesting rendition of it. |
| I think differently, I think it's about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that's great. If I could do a classical version, that'll be great too. It's all just about expression. |
| I wanted to do Dreamgirls. If they're doing a stage production of Sparkle, I think that would be hot. |
| I picked up the Joss Stone album, Josh Groban, and the new Norah Jones. I love, love, love Norah. |
| I really connect with those moments of doing missionary work down there and just seeing the people that are dying from disease and hunger and malnutrition. |
| I had this instinct and I just knew it. It was a very strange thing and as soon as I finished recording it, we were all in the studio saying we have something really special here. |
