COLLABORATIONS
“Tonight You Belong to Me” Oliver Ignatius, Camellia Hartman, and Odetta Hartman
Sisters Odetta and Camellia Hartman had been collaborating with Brooklyn musician, producer, and engineer Oliver Ignatius for years before all three joined forces to record a fresh cover of the near century-old classic “Tonight You Belong to Me.” Recorded for the first time in the 1920s, the song has been covered countless times over the years, always carrying with it a sweet nostalgia and tenderness. Oliver had the idea to build on the docile spirit of the song, adding a psychedelic contemporary twist, with three part harmonies, eerie violin embellishments, and a densely saturated production style.
“I checked out a bunch of versions, and I didn’t like a single one of them as much as I do this most recent iteration. The Hartman sisters have an innate ability to harmonize and stay in sync. They come closest to the childlike innocence of the most famous version, but make it into a haunting memory of lost love.” - Music.Defined
Recorded at Holy Fang Studio in Brooklyn.
