Its Whitney level, Warren said during a panel discussion at Deadlines Sound & Screen Film musical showcase.
I dont even know if anyones ever heard her sing like this.
(real name Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson), could relate to the themes of the movie and the song.
We all have our own journey.
The beautiful thing is it works within the movie beautifully.
Thats when the songs great.
The recording of The Journey was a whirlwind.
Warren played the demo for H.E.R.
and the singer decided to record it right away.
When I played her the song, she got very emotional, Warren said.
We recorded it in my studio literally that day.
I was sitting there, I dont know if Ive heard a performance like that.
Aaron Zigmancomposed the instrumental score forSix Triple Eight.
Fairly soon, towards the ending, we hear her song.
I help set it up if you will.
Zigman drew on another key scene for his other musical motifs.
Theyre just getting off the ship, Zigman said.
Im sure you hear the stories of how grueling those rides were.
Theyre expected to march right away.
Seeing them all in one unit, one voice so to speak.
I wanted to write something that would represent these women as an elegant form.
I used an open Americana kind of feel, just an open elegance to celebrate them.
