Comments from the musicians about "Let It Die (Acoustic)":
Michel Villares commented on the participation: "At the time, Chris made us very comfortable. I sent him the melody, and he gave it back to me in 2 days in a much better way than I had written it and without changing the lyrics (laughs). All the emotional charge of the theme is felt in its parts. It turned out amazing." About this new version of "Let It Die", bassist Émerson Soares commented, "Although we only released this version now, it has already been worked on for a while. It was one of the first songs we chose for this acoustic format and we worked hard on it to keep the original identity, but with different arrangements and vocal lines. Originally it had a strong chorus with Chris' interpretation, and now I believe we have managed to make it even better." New guitarist Ricky Franco went further: "It was a unique and exciting experience to recreate 'Let It Die' in this way. Having total creative freedom to add new elements, such as synthesizers and guitar details, was incredible. And keeping the participation of Chris, one of the greatest singers in the world, in an even more exciting version was a question not only of honour, but of good taste." André Marques also commented: "When I heard the original version, I always imagined how it would sound like an Alternative Rock ballad from Nickelback and Creed, for example (laughs). So I took the idea to the band to make it very commercial and the result was excellent." Chris Clancy commented on his social network about his participation: "It was really impressive to see all of Michel's commitment to "Let It Die". It is very rewarding and uplifting for a musician to see and feel another musician's passion for their own art!" |
