about

"This was an independently recorded piano vocal record. When Hollywood picked it up they wanted me to re-record the whole thing. I didn't care for the Disney aesthetic so I said no but we added a few over-dubbed instruments. It went top ten in the US college radio charts and Fallen For You was featured in the film and on the soundtrack of High Fidelity. I toured extensively across the US." SN
