Voices of the Real World
48119 Real World
 
"Of all the sounds that we hear, human beings have the broadest range of responses to the voice. From the first sounds we hear from our mothers to our final breath, we know that the sounds emanating from our mouths are critical to our existence and survival. Aside from communication and conversation, we use the voice to express much of who we are and what we feel.

Great instrumental players often refer to the voice and talk of 'singing' through their instruments. From the earliest recorded accounts of music in all cultures, the voice has always played a central role. One of the big excitements from my involvement with Real World Records has been to work with some of the most extraordinary singers in the world. This has been humbling and inspiring.

This collection shows the enormous range of singing styles and remarkable artists that we have been lucky enough to work with in our first ten years. I would like to dedicate it to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who we lost last year and whose voice has moved me like no other."

-Peter Gabriel
