Hem Releases 'Twelfth Night' Soundtrack Today
Today marks the release of Brooklyn based group Hem's broadway musical soundtrack Twelfth NIgh.
The album sees the complete works scored for The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production and features almost half an albums's worth of new, never before heard songs.
The soundtrack featuring vocals from Anne Hathaway, Audra McDonald, Raúl Esparza, David Pittu and Jon Patrick Walker, features one duet Messe wrote specifically for Hathaway and McDonald, using lyrics from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” It was never intended for the actual staging but “those two voices together was too tempting to pass up," Messe says. "So even though its a moment that never happened on stage it really happens on our album."
Hem are curently working on their new full lenght album, due spring / summer of 2010

Watch The Video For "Body Work" Feautring Tegan and Sara
Grammy-nominated Morgan Page teams up with Canada’s Tegan and Sara, for a new, original tune – “Body Work.” Having remixed numerous cuts for the indie stalwarts, the three wanted to write something together from scratch. The result is one of the most exciting tracks off the 2012 studio album, In The Air (available now). “Body Work” follows lead single, “In The Air,” featuring Sultan + Ned Shepard, BT and Angela McCluskey on vocals. The mega-collaboration led to a #1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay chart and #11 on on BPM’s ‘Top 51 of 2011.'
