A singer with 40-million album sales? Hopefully not Celine Dion…

Thepunksite.com carried out an interview with Pete from Yellowcard where he discussed the band’s new album. ““Lights & Sounds” is definitely… We play “Lights & Sounds” tonight in our set and we have another song called “Rough Landing Holly”, and those two songs are probably the only two songs that are kind of upbeat and driving the whole way through and kind of the songs that bridge the gap between “Ocean Avenue” and our new record, “Lights & Sounds.” Everything else we have, Sean really just owned up with huge string arrangements. He went into the actual Capitol Records studio in Hollywood for a day and laid down a whole twenty-two piece orchestra in four songs. So we’ve got a lot of flavour like that, like not classical songs, but just huge string arrangements. We’ve got a jazz song. We’ve got a really, really nice acoustic ballad that we had a guest singer on. I would love to tell you who it is, but I can’t you who it is. Just a female vocalist and she has sold forty-million records – so it’s somebody huge, but it’s the last person you would ever expect. So I’ll leave that for you. We tried to throw a little bit of everything, and the variety on it is just great. But it’s very fluent all the way through. There’s no one time that you’re like “hey, what band is this?” Once you see where we’re going with it, it just takes its path. So yeah, I’d say it’s got a little bit of everything on it. It’s definitely got some surprises and it’s got some good tunes on it.”
